# Mobile Game Development > Platform constraints and optimization principles. --- ## 1. Platform Considerations ### Key Constraints | Constraint | Strategy | |------------|----------| | **Touch input** | Large hit areas, gestures | | **Battery** | Limit CPU/GPU usage | | **Thermal** | Throttle when hot | | **Screen size** | Responsive UI | | **Interruptions** | Pause on background | --- ## 2. Touch Input Principles ### Touch vs Controller | Touch | Desktop/Console | |-------|-----------------| | Imprecise | Precise | | Occludes screen | No occlusion | | Limited buttons | Many buttons | | Gestures available | Buttons/sticks | ### Best Practices - Minimum touch target: 44x44 points - Visual feedback on touch - Avoid precise timing requirements - Support both portrait and landscape --- ## 3. Performance Targets ### Thermal Management | Action | Trigger | |--------|---------| | Reduce quality | Device warm | | Limit FPS | Device hot | | Pause effects | Critical temp | ### Battery Optimization - 30 FPS often sufficient - Sleep when paused - Minimize GPS/network - Dark mode saves OLED battery --- ## 4. App Store Requirements ### iOS (App Store) | Requirement | Note | |-------------|------| | Privacy labels | Required | | Account deletion | If account creation exists | | Screenshots | For all device sizes | ### Android (Google Play) | Requirement | Note | |-------------|------| | Target API | Current year's SDK | | 64-bit | Required | | App bundles | Recommended | --- ## 5. Monetization Models | Model | Best For | |-------|----------| | **Premium** | Quality games, loyal audience | | **Free + IAP** | Casual, progression-based | | **Ads** | Hyper-casual, high volume | | **Subscription** | Content updates, multiplayer | --- ## 6. Anti-Patterns | ❌ Don't | ✅ Do | |----------|-------| | Desktop controls on mobile | Design for touch | | Ignore battery drain | Monitor thermals | | Force landscape | Support player preference | | Always-on network | Cache and sync | --- > **Remember:** Mobile is the most constrained platform. Respect battery and attention.
