I decided to prepare my lesson that describes the basics of using libGDX for Android, and since I am preparing this material anyway, at the same time post it here - on the hub In this lesson we will make the simplest 3D game for Android, a screenshot of which you can see in the introduction to the article. So, interested, welcome to cat.
Old games do not get worse with age, but starting them every year is becoming more difficult. Therefore, like many other publishers, we decided to port one of our best games to modern devices. And as a test of the pen, they chose the classic quest "Petka and Vasily Ivanovich: Save the Galaxy".
App Annie published its first comprehensive forecast for the application market. Thanks to the new report, companies, institutions, investors and application developers will receive unique forward-looking information on global opportunities for the next five years.
