#5.1 Tutorial (LibGDX & MTX) Game Manager

Now lets talk about game/live wallpaper structure/logic that can be built with LibGDX Scene2D. As you know Scene2D consists of Stage/Group/Actors.

I removed all the buttons from previous screen and created a clean screen, added a bat and hulk test model (Hulk test model has do nothing but extending abstract actor) and I added two buttons. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT BUTTON TEXTURES, I forgot the create new textures for the buttons. Left button turns bruce to hulk and right button turns hulk to bruce.

#1.5 Tutorial (LibGDX & MTX) Test3_Buttons

Buttons can be troublesome, so when I was developing my games, I asked myself "what is necessary ?". Then, I have created game-specific buttons which has rich features. (ButtonGame, ButtonToggle, ButtonLevel)

General features of all buttons:

• Set down and up textures
• Set lock condition and texture
• Set text with any font
• Set external texture for different purposes
• Each button type also has special features

TEST SCREEN

I again used previous tutorials screen, I removed one of the bats, and centered the other bat, I created new method setUpButtons() to show the buttons and their abilities. I have also created a table to add all the buttons in it.

#1.4 Tutorial (LibGDX & MTX) Test2_AbstractActor

"AbstractActor" is extending Actor, so it can do anything an Actor can do. I just gave couple of game specific functions to Actor.

What it can do:

• Set a texture
• Ready to use animation state timer
• Set a animation 
• Set a animation momentary (We will see in animations tutorial)
• Translate in constant speed
• All other actions that normal actors do
