I am new to libGDX and would like to get into learning it. I’ve used slick2d in the past, but want to try libGDX now since slick2d is pretty much a dead API.
Any tips or suggestions?
Thanks
Yep. The wiki is pretty much the place to go. I would suggest going through the starter game on there to get a feel for how a libGDx application runs, what certain classes do what, etc… Also, having a knowledge of how OpenGL works really helps.
You might want to check out the few youtube tutorial series made by dermetfan. And of course there’s also http://libgdxgaming.com/
Yep dermetfan has done an incredible job with his tutorials, here’s the link to the playlist : http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXY8okVWvwZ0JOwHiH1TntAdq-UDPnC2L.
You might also wanna take a look at this dev blog : http://www.aurelienribon.com/blog/. There are some JARs that can be useful, especially the LibGDX Project Setup if you’re a beginner.
I’m the author of the book “Learning Libgdx Game Development”.
It describes and explains a complete game development cycle from start to finish.

So basically you just necroed a few month old thread to self promote?
Well, if that’s a problem on THIS forum I can just delete the post…
It should be a problem on any forum. You shouldn’t shamelessly self promote on a few month old thread, and its even your first post.
@geno I have no problem with you promoting your book, as long as you truly believe it will help newbies. Just don’t do it on an old thread.
@Jimmt: Ok. And yes, I’m confident that it will help newbies. 8)
So… I’d post the same text again but in a new thread this time. I didn’t mean to upset anyone here, sorry.
