Previous Part Table Of Contents Next Part   In this part of the LibGDX tutorial series we are going to take a look at using GLSL shaders.  GLSL standards for OpenGL Shader Language and since the move from a fixed to programmable graphics pipeline, Shader programming has become incredibly important.  In fact, every single thing […]

Previous Part Table Of Contents Next Part   Today we are going to look at implementing physics in LibGDX.  This technically isn’t part of LibGDX itself, but instead is implemented as an extension.  The physics engine used in LibGDX is the popular Box2D physics system a library that has been ported to basically every single […]

Previous Part Table Of Contents Next Part   In the previous tutorial part we look at creating about the simplest physics simulation possible in LibGDX and Box2D, a single object affected by gravity.  In this tutorial we are going to take things one step further and apply force, impulses and torque ( and no gravity […]

Previous Part Table Of Contents Next Part   So far we’ve covered creating a simple simulation then how to create physics bodies and apply forces to them now we look at dealing with collisions.  Truth of the matter is, most of the work is just done for us.  Let’s just right in with an example, […]

Previous Part Table Of Contents Next Part   Remember in our earlier example where we used a ContactListener to check for a collision between two types of FixtureDef and how ungainly the check was?  Remember when I said there was a much better way of doing this?  Well, welcome the the better way, Filters.   […]
