Complete LibGDX Video Tutorial series

Hey all. In the past ( and on-going ) I did a rather extensive LibGDX tutorial series covering pretty much all facets of LibGDX game development.

I got a fair number of requests from people that prefer video tutorials, so I've started a complete LibGDX video tutorial series now too. Additionally as I add "new" tutorials, I will be adding in both video and text forms. For each tutorial that has code, I also included a post with all the resources. The video tutorials go into a great deal more detail than the text tutorials ( but are also a lot longer to consume ).

In addition to the Table of Contents, the video series currently consists of (direct to the video links below):

Each tutorial part is about 20 - 30 minutes long, actual coding starts at the Hello World tutorial above, most of the earlier parts are about setup and configuration. I assume you have some Java experience, but no prior game development experience, so all game dev concepts are explained as introduced. If you are just starting out, this series should certainly get you started. More tutorials will be added soon.

This is my first video series, so I am interested to know what you think. I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks for going to the effort to do this. I prefer text tutorials myself, but I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate what you've done.

Yeah, I do too, that's why I started with the text series.

That said, in some cases, video can certainly be better.

New video available Cameras and Viewports which shows how to handle multiple device resolutions and aspect ratios.

Added SpriteSheets and TextureAtlas, which looks at the process of creating then using a spritesheet in LibGDX, first using the built in tools, then using CodeAndWeb's TexturePacker.

New part, part of a multipart sub-series, this one covering Introduction to Scene2D
