Hello, fellow gamers and developers! Do you want to make awesome games using Java? Do you want to target multiple platforms with a single code base? Do you want to have full control over every aspect of your game? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should check out libgdx!
libgdx is a cross-platform Java game development framework based on OpenGL (ES) that works on Windows, Linux (including the RPi!), macOS, Android, iOS and Web. It's like having a Swiss army knife for game development: it has everything you need and more!
With libgdx, you can write 2D or 3D games using a unified API that handles rendering, audio, input, math, physics and much more. You can also use various backends to access the capabilities of the host platform without writing platform-specific code. For example, you can use LWJGL3 for desktops or RoboVM for iOS.
But wait, there's more! libgdx is not just a framework; it's also a community. You can get great support from other developers on Discord, Reddit or Stack Overflow. You can also find many tools and libraries that extend libgdx's functionality and make your life easier. For example, you can use Ashley for entity-component systems or VisUI for user interfaces.
And the best part? libgdx is open source and free! You can download it from its website or use Gradle to set up your project. You can also contribute to its development on GitHub or support it on Patreon. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by using libgdx!
So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and try libgdx today! You won't regret it! And if you do regret it... well... don't blame me;
how to install??
- Step 1: Download libgdx from its official website or GitHub. Make sure you have enough space on your hard drive, because libgdx is so awesome that it takes up a lot of bytes.
- Step 2: Run the setup tool and choose your project name, package name, game class name and destination folder. Don't worry about the other options, they are just there to confuse you.
- Step 3: Click on "Generate" and wait for the magic to happen. If you see any errors or warnings, just ignore them. They are probably not important.
- Step 4: Open your favorite IDE and import the generated project. You should see a bunch of folders and files that look like gibberish. That's normal, it means libgdx is working.
- Step 5: Run your project on your preferred platform (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS or HTML5). If everything goes well, you should see a red screen with a white "Badlogic" logo. Congratulations! You have successfully installed libgdx!
- Step 6: Now you can start coding your game using Java and OpenGL (ES). If you need help or inspiration, check out the documentation, the community or the showcase. Have fun!

Hey there, fellow game developers!
Do you love making games but hate dealing with low-level stuff like OpenGL, input handling, audio and asset management? Do you wish there was a way to create awesome cross-platform games with minimal hassle and maximum fun? Do you want to learn from the best in the business and join a vibrant community of like-minded enthusiasts?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then we have some great news for you: we will start to teach libGDX for free!
That's right, you heard us. LibGDX is a fantastic framework that lets you write your game once and deploy it to desktop, Android, iOS and web browsers with ease. It has everything you need to make your game shine: graphics, physics, sound, UI, networking and more. It's also open source and constantly updated by a dedicated team of contributors.
But don't take our word for it. Check out some of the amazing games made with libGDX on their official website: https://libgdx.com/showcase
Now you might be wondering: how can I learn libGDX? Well, that's where we come in. We are a group of experienced game developers who have been using libGDX for years and want to share our knowledge and passion with you. We will start to teach libGDX for free through online courses, tutorials, videos and live sessions. You will learn everything from the basics to advanced topics like shaders, particles and multiplayer.
Sounds too good to be true? Well, there is a catch. You have to be willing to work hard, practice a lot and have fun along the way.
