I am looking to develop the multiplayer portion for a cards game (4 players). I have read sp many posts about the ways to do it but many posts are dated back in 2010 so I am wondering if anything has changed.
First of all, I am wondering are there SDK available out there? I heard about skiller sdk but I need another option just because their service agreement is scary when it comes to paid apps.
If not then I guess my other option would be to do the development using client 0server archeticure. I believe there will be a steep learning curve for the server code. Are their quick-guide tutorials to do this? Are there other options I am missing. It is a cards game and I dont expect more than 5000 users for it for now with probably 100s online at any point
Thanks alot

I'm planning to create a turn-based game for iOS (and later android). What would service would you recommend for me (like PubNub)?
This might be a dummy question but is it completely free (for me) to publish a turn-based game in iOS using game center? So no server costs? If yes I guess this is the best way to create turn-based game for iOS only or how?
I would suggest Game Center. For iOS this is the best guide for Game Center integration and usage of multiplayer games.

Some updates for using in with iOS version > 5 can be found here:

As you can check by yourself Game Center integration is the minimal effort solution. You don't have to worry about connections, room creations, synchronization, etc.
I would suggest using GameCenter. There's a WWDC session about this very topic:

Also see Terms and Conditions for GameCenter:

So I just downloaded the Android SDK App Development Software and would like to know where to start. I have NO experience in programing in anything but Delphi7. I dont mind if you just give me a website.
Thank you!
This question is gonna earn you a lot of negative votes. There are tons of stuff for starters just use google and this forum.
You need to have a basic knowledge of java. for android i would recommend the new boston series on youtube, for book 'Android 4 application development` and for online reference developers.android.com.
Go through training on android web site:
http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html
First IDE of choise should be Eclipse.

Which cross-platform mobile APIs give apps that can be listed in the major market places? I see PhoneGap generates native apps can be listed in the Android, iOS and Windows markets. What are the other options? I strongly prefer free.
The reason I want native apps is to get the free advertising from being able to list them in the marketplace.
To those who marked the question as off-topic: the selection seems to be very limited. In my searches I've only found PhoneGap which satisfies the criteria (cross-platform, produces native code, free). So it's hard to be opinionated or produce spam comments when the selection is potentially singular. Any suggestions on other options would be welcomed before I commit myself.
Check these ones out:
Icenium
Titanium
I personally prefer phonegap though.

I have been looking around for a good Android AR toolkit to play with. I have found a few references but I am not really sure which ones to try. It seems to be a lot of work just to get any demo's working.
My requirement is that I want to be able to detect AR Markers/Tags. I would then look to add a 3D model based on the orientation of the marker/tag. A nice basic cube would be a great start :D
So do any of you have any recommendations?
I have just tried http://code.google.com/p/andar/ and it is not too bad. I would really like one that has some better project examples and well documented source code.
Oh, and as this is currently only for playing with I don't want to be paying any money for it.
You can try looking at NyARToolkit

I am new to Android and I want to develop 2D/3D games in Android. Can you suggest me good books and/or tutorials on the subject?
So what do you want to create? 2D games or 3D games (title and text each say differently)?
2D Programming for games can be done in "Canvas"... you'll find many many tutorials when you google for that...
i.e. http://www.tutorialforandroid.com/2009/06/drawing-with-canvas-in-android.html
3D Development basically is done in OpenGL... the thing is that all depends on what you want to create exactly... There are several 3D engines for Gaming on Android, but you could basically do everything on your own with OpenGL...
I have no direct experience with it but AndEngine looks kewl. http://code.google.com/p/andengine/ I am looking forward to playing with it when I get some time. The demo's are impressive.
