Rights for creating an Android Game - General Questions and Answers

Hi. I'm just getting started with Android game development and decided to give GameMaker a try. I created a very simple game that I was interested in putting up on the Play store. The problem is that my idea is to use some classic characters such as Super Mario, Pacman, Megaman etc. Would I run into trouble if I do use them due to rights ? If so what is the best thing to do, try to get the rights (which I'm guessing is next to impossible) or create my own characters ?
Thanks !

Try using any of those existing characters and you will find yourself being sued back into the dark ages. You need to create your own characters or find someone artistic who can create them for you.

[Q] Star Wars Live Wallpaper - Special Request :)

Hi!
I'm not sure if this is the right place, but maybe some of you can help me anyway:
I'm sure some of you remember the "Star Wars Screen Entertainment" screensavers from the 90s:
( I wanted to post a link to Wookieepedia here, but the forum won't let me )
I'm sorry I couldn't find some good screenshots or videos.
Anymay, I was wondering, if there are some Star Wars geeks like me out there, who can recreate those screensavers as Android Live Wallpapers.
I would do it myself, but I have absolutely no knowledge how to program these things...
Well, I hope someone of you can help me with this

Well, I could use a LOT of help, since I have absolutely no idea how to program live wallpapers
But I have the Star Wars Screen Entertainment. I don't know if that helps...I hope so
there are 2 ways possible...
1)use an online builder
2)write the code and create it manually
let me know which method you'd prefer

I think I'll use an online builder, since I have no programming-skills
Where can I find a good live-wallpaper builder?

I tried the Live Wallpaper Creator trial, but I can't make it work...when I try to test the wallpaper, I get an error message that it can't start the AVD, although I installed the Android SDK and set the folder in the creator.
Have you worked with this program before?
I wanted to know, if it's possible to use sprites to create animated objects, like creatures running along the screen...
Or do you know another program that supports such animations?

[Completed] Modding android apps- problem with dat files

hi there! thank you for your time! Ill just get right to it-
So I am currently attempting to mod an android app, the game more specifically- Kairosofts dream house days. Please understand I have bought the game, I paid the five bucks, so no I am not trying to steal the game, or their work in any way. however I also came across a hacked version of the game. In this version you are able to attain tickets and Research points easily, this makes my gaming more enjoyable which is the entire point of gaming- its fun, the problem is the already hacked version is its completely Japanese. if it were just hiragana or katagana it would be fine however I have a lack of knowledge when it comes to kanji. in anycase- I know it is possible to mod this apk, but I am stuck. I have decompiled the apk. however it seems the file I wish to get into are Dat files, and when I attempt to view the files all there is is gibberish. google has givin me no help. Only telling me to find another program to open them in. And so I have come here to see if any of you wonderful people had any other suggestions. I appreciate your time!
I apologize for my terrible grammer and spelling.
Are there "in-app purchases" in this game that also does what you're trying to do ?

[Q] How to make my modded GameGuardian floating Icon Movable?

Im modding GameGuardian. Everyone knows that GameGuardian is a cheat engine for android games. And we also know that some games already block this app so I decided to modify this version of GameGuardian. As of now Im done changing its package name so it cant be detected now by games who blocked it.
Now, I want to make GameGuardian's floating icon movable like on Easytouch,Assistive Touch and like on facebook messenger floating notif (if Im not mistaken)
Is there any possible way to do it?
Please let me know if someone knows how to do it or anyone have idea. I did search on google but I cant find how.
Hope someone will help me.
And btw, this is just a modded gameguardian. I will do credit to the original owner of this app if Im done modding it. Thanks and Godbless!

Really? CHEATING is the lamest you can do. But cheating at android games is even more poor. If the games are too hard for you, how about playing in the sandbox again? May be its more appropriate to your skills.
Edit: An no, i did not know about "GameGuardian", but you really made my day xD

Are you trolling? I dont need your opinion about cheating I use cheat because I already done the game. And NOT I use cheat because the game is hard
And my topic is about MODDING not CHEATING thanks for trolling GODBLESS
Maybe in next releases we doned movable icon instead of current way move it.
This task is planned for future.
