LibGDX on OS X?

#1

I am trying to test my LibGDX game in OS X which runs in Virtual Box.

The game crashes instantly with the following stack trace:

Exception in thread "LWJGL Application" com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: Unable to create OpenGL display.

I double click on the runnable jar file to run it.

Runs fine on Ubuntu and Windows 7.

It’s a common problem to users running Operating Systems in VMs. This is because of the inability to share the graphics card with the virtual os. Virtualbox or Vmware both doesn’t support graphics drivers - they use their own drivers which are software only.

P.S: I can test it for you, you can PM me with the download link.
