Code use in Java Day South Africa 2014 Libgdx presentation libgdx-gradle-template ====================== Demo code for Java Day based on the Gradle project at Bad Logic Games git hub account. The example code in core was used during a coding talk at Java Day South Africa 2014. The remainder of this read me is from the gradle project check out. ## Notice Jan-14-2014 This incarnation of the Gradle Template is no longer under active development. Further work is being done in the main libgdx project/repo. If you'd like to contribute, you'll find development being done inside of the extensions module. Gradle template for libgdx projects that works on the CLI, Eclipse and Intellij IDEA. This tempate will eventually replace the libgdx Setup-UI currently in use.

A dependency management system allows you to declaratively specify 3rd party libraries, which the dependency management system will pull in automatically for you. No need to put Jar files or native libraries in your project tree. You do not need to install Gradle manually, this template uses the Gradle wrapper which takes care of that for you transparently.

Do not commit Eclipse or IntelliJ Idea projec files, especially if other people are working on the same project. Instead, everyone just downloads this IDE-unaware project, then uses Gradle to generate local IDE project files. Also make sure to commit the gradlew, gradl …
