Previous Part Table Of ContentsNext Part   I’ve already cheated a few times using physics with the caveat that “I will cover this later”.  Well, welcome to later!  One thing you should be aware of right away is that there are a number of different physics engines available in Phaser.  In this particular tutorial […]

  In this video tutorial, we look at handling Keyboard, Mouse and Touch input in LibGDX.  We look at both handling input via polling as well as an event driven approach.   You can see the video in full 1080p definition here.  Once again, all the code included in the video is available below:   […]

  Today I was contacted by a developer from the jMonkeyEngine team who was interested in spreading the word about the OPENGEX format among indie developers, and I agree completely with the goal.   Before I even get in to OpenGEX, it’s helpful to first look at the alternatives available for 3D import/export.  Moving 3D […]

  The Urho3D C++ cross platform game engine just released version 1.32.  The following is the change log from this release:     Finalized Urho2D functionality, including 2D physics using Box2D, sprite animation and tile maps Threaded background resource loading. Must be manually triggered via ResourceCache or by loading a scene asynchronously Attribute and material […]

  In the last video tutorial we used a graphic instead of text to create a Hello World.  This is because drawing text is actually a multi step process in LibGDX and not really appropriate for a first tutorial.  It is however perfect for a second tutorial, so here we are! 😉   In this […]

  Not sure how much use this will be to anyone, but I thought I would share it all the same…  I recently found myself working with Phaser without the comforts of my friend TypeScript.  One of the great things TypeScript brings to the table is a built in package system, something Javascript is sorely […]

  The JavaScript game library MelonJS reached the milestone 2.0.0 release yesterday.   The key features of this release are:   Shape-based collision layer has replaced the tile-based collision layer. WebGL support has landed! (Currently alpha-quality) Many fixes and improvements with collision detection in isometric maps. Physics bodies now support multiple shapes. Automatic collision response handling is enabled by […]

  In this video tutorial, we create our first LibGDX project.  This tutorial covers that basic layout of a LibGDX application, adding new assets to a project and looks at how the initial project is composed and how multiple platforms are supported.  We then go through the initial code, then look in depth at coordinate […]

  As you may be able to tell from some of my recent posts I’ve been working more and more often on my iPad when it comes to creating pixel graphics.  When working on my PC or Mac I have my trusty Wacom Intuos tablet, but on iPad its obviously a much different beast.  First […]

  Previous Part Table Of Contents   First off, let’s start of with a big disclaimer!  This is more of an experiment that worked than a tutorial, as I can’t actually recommend you do anything I just did!  Let’s just say, I did a few really hack worthy things to get this particular example to […]
