Learning Libgdx Game Development

Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "The main class of the demo application is MyDemo.java."

A block of code is set as follows:

@Override
public void dispose() {
  batch.dispose();
  texture.dispose();
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

public void update (float deltaTime) {
  updateMotionX(deltaTime);
  updateMotionY(deltaTime);

  // Move to new position
  position.x += velocity.x * deltaTime;
  position.y += velocity.y * deltaTime;
}

New terms and important words are shown ...
