Step 3

Enter
demo
in the
Name
field, which defines a common project name for your
application. Each launcher project will add its own suffix to it, such as
-desktop
,
-android
, or
-html
. A preview of the outcome is shown in the
OVERVIEW
box on
the right-hand side of the window.
The
Package
field defines the name of your Java package. This needs to be a unique
identifier written in lowercase, which is usually derived from a reversed domain
name. You do not have to own a domain name nor does it have to really exist, but it
helps in choosing nonconflicting namespaces for Java applications. This is especially
important on Android, as identical package names for two separate applications
would mean that the already installed application is going to be overwritten by the
second one while trying to install it. For this demo application, use
com.packtpub.
libgdx.demo
as the package name for now.
The
Game class
field defines the name of the main class in the shared game code
project. Enter
MyDemo
as the game class name.
