Installing the lib

A Zip file with desktop demos and a simple bootstrap project can be downloaded to get started with the gdx2d library quickly.

You can also download and run the gdx2d-demoDesktop-1.2.2.jar file to see the latest demos programs on your PC (no development environment is required):

Getting started with IntelliJ or Eclipse

• Intellij (current)
• Eclipse (legacy)

• Download and extract the gdx2d-1.2.3-students.zip file. There are two projects there : one for the demos with sample code and another to get started with a project. The demos project is written in Java, but you can easily convert them to Scala, as all the imports and methods are the same, you just have to adapt the syntax.

  You have to start writing your project with the project gdx2d-helloDesktop. Enjoy !

• Download the gdx2d-1.2.2-students.zip file, then import the two projects in your Eclipse workspace (using the File->Import...->Existing Projects into Workspace menu in Eclipse then Select archive file:):

  

The gdx2d-demoDesktop contains several program examples you can run on your PC. All the source code of the demo programs are provided. Select and run the main Java file gdx2d-demoDesktop/src/ch/hevs/gdx2d/demos/DemoSelector.java to display the demo selector window, or select the demo you are interested in and launch it from your ide.

Development versions

Development / snapshots versions of the gdx2d library can be downloaded from the Sonatype snapshots repository. It is also possible to build the library from sources using Maven. Please have a look at this page for the details.
