libGDX

libGDX is a free, open source cross-platform Java game development framework based on OpenGL. As a main principle this framework provides developers the opportunity for fast prototyping and iterations when working on a video game given its cross-platform nature. libGDX realizes these benefits for the developer by offering a single API, which targets many different platforms. Having a single code base also simplifies maintenance.

libGDX - Variability

Usage and deployment variability is one of the main causes of software complexity and is an intensively researched topic1. libGDX is no exception – programs built upon this framework are often deployed on many different kinds of systems, while these programs each use the framework in their own way. That is the strength of libGDX, but this strength also incurs costs. We look into the main causes of variability and how they interact.

libGDX - Quality and Evolution

The quality behind software systems is an interesting topic to study, as it is a very broad concept. One important factor is, for example, the quality of documentation, which plays an important role in understanding the system. Also, the quality of software itself should be assured, which is done, for example, by writing test suites or by making use of continuous integration. In this post, we discuss the libGDX project in terms of quality and evolution.

libGDX - Architecture

Architecture plays a key role in software systems around the world, it defines the way a system is structured. The architecture of libGDX is an interesting topic to study. In order to get to know more about the system behind this framework we discuss the important architectural aspects of the libGDX framework in this blog post. First of all, we discuss the general architectural style. Next, is a description of the different architectural views.

libGDX - Product Vision

libGDX is a free, open source cross-platform Java game development framework based on OpenGL. As a main principle this framework provides developers the opportunity for fast prototyping and iterations when working on a video game given its cross-platform nature. libGDX realizes these benefits for the developer by offering a single API, which targets many different platforms1. This single API that is provided to the developer, makes it much easier to maintain an application.

Contributions

Align add test coverage

https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx

In order to improve the test coverage of the code base of libGDX, this pull request is created. In this pull request, the following has been done to the file utils/align:

  • Added the test coverage

The code coverage has been improved as follows

File Class, % Method, % Line, %
utils/Align (old) 0% 0% 0%
utils/Align (new) 100% 100% 100%

Also I found something strange with the isCenterVertical function, it gives true whenever the align is Left, Center, Right (which is horizontal rather than vertical) But this might be the case you wanted to function to be. Since there is lacking documentation I do not know that.

The changes to Align documentation are reverted but an artifact is left as I cannot push spaces to git it does not recognize it as any change.

Remove commented code

https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx

This is the first contribution done to the libGDX repository by the team. It was decided to make a simple start, serving as an introduction to the libGDX project. In this pull request, commented code is removed from a few files, to make these files look more neat and professional.
