Compiling the Code

Be sure to understand the prerequisites required for Libgdx.

See Running Demos & Tests for instructions on getting the basics working with the source tree.

See the Source Building wiki page for instructions on building native code and building distribution images.

You do not have to compile Libgdx, you can download official releases and nightly build snapshots from libgdx.badlogicgames.com.

Libgdx Usage Examples

There are a number of example games included in the source. Some of them include:

  • metagun
  • superjumper
  • gdx-vertorpinball
  • rtm
  • very angry robots
  • pax-britannica

To see how to use libgdx you can either go to the wiki (which has plenty of good information) or read through these example projects. The test cases in tests/gdx-tests/ are another good source of sample code. Once again, if you get stuck just drop in to the friendly forums.
