In this project, you will have to create a 2D sidescroller game. You will be using for the first time an external SDK to compile your game: the Android SDK Tool for Unreal Engine, that allows you to create a [.apk file](https://fileinfo.com/extension/apk) that can be installed and played on any Android devices.

### Objectives
In this game for Android the player will control a character in a similar game to Google Chrome Running Dinosaur but with coins or gems. So the game will have buttons on screen and that will be bound to character actions like jumping, ducking, etc... Another goal of this project is the sprite and [flipbook](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/AnimatingObjects/Paper2D/Flipbooks/index.html) creation that is used to animate 2D art.
