I'm a newbie for scala and I'm leaning pixijs for scalajs.

It's good but I want make game (or some mobile application) using scala.

I think SGL could help me.

but I don't have much of knowledge to understand your example code for myself.

So. Why don't you write some tutorials for newbie?

(and make library to importable using ivy or sbt build.sbt)

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I would like to write some tutorial at some point, but the library is still a bit too experimental for that.

But better documentation and a tutorial are on the roadmap, but it will probably take a while before it is ready. In the meantime, feel free to open issues with specific questions.

I know it was asked a long time ago, but the library kept changing since then so it never felt like it was a good time to write a tutorial.

Now it's a bit more stable, and I started a tutorial series on my blog:
https://regblanc.com/blog/cross-platform-game-development-in-scala-natively/

This should help clear things up a bit.

Here's part 2 of the tutorial series:

I'll write one last part to cover publishing to Android and iOS.

Your website is down 😔

regb commented

Ah yes, sorry about that. I turned down my website a while ago and was not planning to bring it back up. So what I will do eventually is to create a documentation website just for this project. Since I can't do this right now, instead I have just recovered the two blog articles that were on my website: https://github.com/regb/scala-game-library/tree/master/doc
They are just in markdown source for now, will integrate them in the documentation website once I set that up.
