Creating an interactive Android app doesn’t necessarily require deep coding skills thanks to MIT’s AppInventor utility. In this video excerpt from John Sonmez’ new course Learning to Build Apps with App Inventor you’ll see how easy it is to create the basics of an animated game using drag-and-drop features of App Inventor. In the full course John also covers how to install App Inventor and then gives you an in-depth look at the features by building several working apps incorporating gestures, data storage, and animation.
