Here are some famous Android Game Development Libraries. Android Game Development Libraries' use cases include Multiplayer Support, Graphics Engine Support, AI Support, Physics Engine Support, and Audio Support. 

 

Android game development libraries refer to a collection of programming tools and pre-written codes that make it easier for developers to create games for the Android operating system. These libraries can provide basic game functions, such as physics, graphics, sound, and input, as well as more advanced features, such as artificial intelligence, networked multiplayer, and 3D rendering.  


Let us look at the libraries in detail below.
