Summary

Fun Propulsion Labs, a Google team focused on advancing gaming across platforms, created Zooshi, an open-source, cross-platform game to demonstrate easy-to-build, high-performance Android games using Google's open-source technologies. Developed in C++, Zooshi supports multiple platforms including Android, Android TV, Windows, OSX, Linux, and Google Cardboard, and features integration with Google Play Games Services for sign-in and leaderboards on Android, alongside level customization. The game utilizes various advanced tools such as Motive, an animation system; CORGI, an Entity-Component system for defining complex game objects; FlatUI, a user-friendly GUI system; Scene Lab for level design and entity editing; Breadboard, a node-based scripting system; and FPLBase, an API layer for handling low-level tasks. Additional technologies like Flatbuffers, Mathfu, fplutil, and WebP were also employed, and the game is available for download on the Play Store and GitHub, inviting developers to explore its code for insights into applying these tools in their own Android game development projects.
