Game Dev Kickstart: 2D Game Development Using LibGDX & Java
Create a Fully Functional Multi-Platform 2D Video Game for FREE Using LibGDX and Java!
Do you want to learn how to create amazing video games for FREE with LibGDX? I’m Brandon and I’m going to help you master LibGDX by creating a complete and fully functional cross-platform 2D video game.
LibGDX is a free and open-source game development framework. Game development frameworks are collections of libraries and tools that provide building blocks that developers can use to create their own games, and are more lightweight and flexible than game engines, like Unity 3D, Unreal Engine, and Godot.
LibGDX also provides cross-platform deployment, meaning that a game created with LibGDX can be run on multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and web browsers. The Game Dev Kickstart course is very comprehensive and is full of extremely valuable information for creating incredible 2D games using LibGDX. We’ll begin by installing the JDK (Java Development Kit) and the IntelliJ IDEA IDE, which we’ll be using to write the code for our game. After that, we’ll jump right into learning all about LibGDX by creating a complete 2D fighting game called Stick Figure Showdown.
