Game Development Reference
In-Depth Information
The Java classes shown in the preceding figure are starter classes; we will learn about
them in the next chapter. Although the names for projects, packages, and classes
generated by the two tools are slightly different, other aspects of the projects such as
the assets folder, manifest files, and project wiring are the same.
All the chapters in this topic will be explained based on the projects
generated from the old setup tool. However, understanding projects
generated from Gradle is very easy because the names are easily
comparable.
The old setup tool (
gdx-setup-ui
) is now not encouraged by LibGDX
and it might be phased out later; however, it is included in this topic
because it will be useful for smaller projects.
You can also see that the projects generated and organized under the
C:\libgdx
path are different for both tools. The old setup tool (
gdx-setup-ui
) creates all the
five projects in the respective folders, as shown in the following screenshot:
