I’ve also come across a couple of tricky bugs which, having solved, I’ll blog about separately (when I find the time). Some tasks completed during this sprint: Added ads from AdMob to the game Configured test ads for my devices Made some design changes to the various game screens Update: now blogged about one bug: How to:...
