NVIDIA to help create games for all Android devices with AndroidWorks

There are over 4,000 unique Android devices out there so it gets a bit tricky to develop apps for them. That’s why NVIDIA wants to help out on the gaming front. The company released a new developer tool called AndroidWorks that builds on its existing GameWorks tool. It’s said to bring “the best native Android application development tools” for a wide range of devices.

The tools are designed to work for all Android devices and not just those powered by Tegra trips. It even integrates Microsoft Visual Studio through Nsight Tegra Visual Studio.

‘Schools of Magic’ game lets you train your own wizards and sorcerers

Want to become like Albus Dumbledore and train your own set of wizards and sorcerers? Schools of Magic will give you a chance to try this out. The Android game lets you build and manage your own school of wizardry and compete against other schools of magic that try to control the world.

The game comes with resource management feature and real-time combat, meaning you train your wizards and sorcerers, while making sure the school keeps up and running. There are four game modes to choose from: school management mode, real-time multiplayer PvP mode, campaign mode, and customization mode. As usual there are in-app purchases but you can play all these four modes for free.

Asus tipped to unveil selfie-centric smartphone at Computex

Computex event in Taiwan is creeping up on us and it seems Asus has plans to put in an entry in the selfie-centric smartphone category (this is somewhat a thing now). According to a teaser on Asus’s Facebook page, the new Zenfone “will illuminate the beauty that’s in you through the front camera.” Rumours are going around that it’ll be named, Asus Zenfone Selfie. It just doesn’t get as straightforward as that if it goes with that name. It’ll reportedly have a 13-megapixel front camera and have dual-LED flash for low-light conditions. We just have to wait a few more days to see if this is actually a thing.
