LibGDX Project Generator

(I used antiyoy-dd as the name, anything else is fine)

Download the libgdx project generator: https://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/download.html

Use it to generate a project:

1. Fill details
   • Antiyoy:
     • antiyoy-dd
     • yio.tro.antiyoy
     • YioGdxGame
     • D:\Projects\Android\antiyoy-dd
2. Remove ios and html sub-projects
3. Under ‘Extensions’ enable the following:
   • Freetype
4. Inside ‘Advanced’ enable ‘IDEA’
5. Click ‘Generate’
6. Verify appropriate build-tools (23.0.1) & API (20) versions (NO,OK,NO,OK)

IDEA Project Settings

Open ‘antiyoy-dd.ipr’ (do not import) in IDEA Ignore ballon notification about ‘unlinked gradle project’ (better just press ‘do not show anymore’)

Open settings (Click Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S)

1. Set Android SDK (default of libGdx - API 20)
2. Set language level (Antiyoy minimum - 7)

Edit Run/Debug Configurations

• Android
  1. Click ‘+’ and select ‘Android Application’
  2. Name it RunAndroid
  3. Select module ‘android’
• Desktop
  1. Click ‘+’ and select ‘Application’
  2. Name it RunDesktop
  3. Set the ‘Main class’ by the button to the right of the field (Shift+Enter)
     • e.g. com. … .desktop.DesktopLauncher
  4. Set working directory to android/assets
  5. Select module ‘desktop’

Or it can be done easier:

• Android
  1. Go to AndroidLauncher.java
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+F10
• Desktop
  1. Go to DesktopLauncher.java
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+F10
  3. Go to run configuration and set working directoy to ‘android/assets’

Test

At this stage you should be able to run the android and the desktop version of the generated example. Use the run button or press Shift+F10. Also you can use Alt+Shift+F10 to choose which run config to run.

##Copy Antiyoy Source Files Delete ‘android/assets/badlogic.jpg’.

Download or clone the github repository of Antiyoy from: https://github.com/yiotro/Antiyoy

Overwrite the files in ‘antiyoy-dd’ with the files from Antiyoy repository:

1. The ‘assets’ directory shoud overwrite ‘android/assets’ directory
2. The ‘core’ directory shoud overwrite ‘core’ directory (At least one file should be replaced, the one that extends ApplicationAdapter)

AndroidManifest

Open ‘android/AndroidManifest.xml’ Change screenOrientation to portrait

Test

At this stage you should be able to run Antiyoy, try it!
