I'm adapting the template for use in LD jams, making it behave similarly to the Super Fast Framework for Pico 8. It'll include:
- predefined screens (Title, Game Over, Win Screen, ...)
- Pico 8 font, screen resolution and color palette
- Simple colission detection
- Tiled integration (pending)
- Tweening Library (pending)
Starter project for libGDX featuring easy asset loading and a scaled pixel-art effect. Supports both desktop and html distributions, making it perfect for Game Jams.
To get started:
$ git clone https://github.com/halfcutdev/libgdx-template
$ cd libgdx-template
$ ./gradlew desktop:run
People are much more likely to play your game if they can do so in the browser. To build a HTML version of your game, go to your project root and run:
$ ./gradlew html:dist
Now go to the html/build/ directory and locate the folder called dist. Zip this up and upload it to a site like itch.io, and your game will be playable in the browser. Just remember to change the title of the web page from 'libGDX template' to the name of your game. You can do this by changing the contents of the <title> tag in html/webapp/index.html.
Note - Building a HTML dist is slow. During development, you should use ./gradlew html:superDev which allows you to debug your code directly in the browser. More information about this is available on the libGDX Wiki.
