Learning LibGDX Game Development - Second Edition

Putting it all together

We will now begin to fill in the stub methods with some life. The game loop is a good starting point; it is our driving engine that keeps the game world updated and rendered in a continuous way. After this, we will add some sprites and verify that the updating and rendering mechanism is working fine.
