[LibGDX] [SOLVED] JSON, What does it know how to use?

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

Ok here it goes

*Skins can use JSON files
*You can define JSON files to stylize the skins

ie.

{
    com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Color: {
        green: { r: 0, g: 1, b: 0, a: 1 }
    },
    com.badlogic.gdx.scenes.scene2d.ui.Skin$TintedDrawable: {
        round-green: { name: round, color: green }
    }
}

*How does the JSON file know what image to use?
*Do I name an atlas file the same as the JSON file?

#2

Slightly off topic, but what you had there is not valid JSON. The keys in JSON should be strings.

#3

The libGDX skin files aren’t valid JSON. This is … known behaviour.

In your example, “round” is the name of the sprite (TextureRegion) in your sprite atlas.

By default, yes: new Skin(“myskin.json”) looks for and loads “myskin.atlas”. The skins are pretty flexible though, so it is also possible to create one from scratch, or load/add more texture atlases at runtime.
