Hey all

I'm curious how many others here are using libGDX. I usually post on their official forums, but I'm wondering if there are enough libgdx users around gdnet to post here instead. I've seen a few people post libgdx questions but they were all a while back.

Anyone from around here completed any games? WIP?

libGDX users, assemble!

I've started looking at libgdx this month.

It piqued my interest mainly because it's supposed to have a built-in GUI library, something sorely lacking in many game libraries. Its documentation leaves something to be desired though. For example, setting up a UI apparently requires you to initialize a Skin, which is defined by a texture atlas and a JSON data file, but I haven't seen an explanation on how to write this data file. I get the impression that most users are copying the skin data file and texture atlas from one of libgdx's example projects and just tweak the atlas.

Edit: No wait, the Skin doc is right here. A bit sparse, but not completely hopeless.

libgdx also seems to have had an update to its API, so a few online tutorials are now out of date.

I used libgdx for an Ouya title at the last Global Game Jam. Documentation was the biggest issue I ran into with it. That and a small bug in their included version of Box2D, but that's not really libgdx's fault. It seems capable enough for the few times I've used it, but aside from that and a few throwaway projects, I don't have a whole lot of experience with it.

So, I'm assembled, I guess?

Tried it three years ago for a hobby project, ran into issues with its limited 3D model loading capabilities at that time. And yeah, pretty large holes in the docs as well.
