Quickstart for libgdx artemis-odb based games.

Preconfigured for artemis-odb advanced features. Contains a logo screen with artemis feature detection and minimal game scaffold.

If you want artemis-odb with weaving, (optionally) fluid entities and LibGDX's gradle, a fork will get you up and running quickly.

I use this as my quickstart for jam games. You are welcome to use it for whatever you need.

Edit net.mostlyoriginal.game.screen.GameScreen and start adding systems!

Running the game displays a odb feature splash screen, before transitioning to your game.

Splash screen icons show available features:

✓ supported, - not supported

LibGDX 1.9.6, artemis-odb 2.1.0, artemis-odb-contrib 2.2.0

Alter library versions and enable gdx modules in /build.gradle

Weaving and fluid interface creation are part of the core build step.

Gradle plugin requires Gradle 2.2+!

GWT default build speed is horribly slow (10-20 minutes).

Because of this, enableClosureCompiler is disabled by default. Re-enable it in html/build.gradle to shrink your game a bit at the cost of 300% compile time.

To speed up your builds further you can chose to limit the target browsers by adding a tag to GdxDefinition.gwt.xml. <set-property name="user.agent" value="safari" />

GWT lacks reflection so the build process creates a reflection cache.

To use @Wire make sure your components, managers and systems are placed under the premade component, manager and system packages.

There are TWO reflection caches, one for LibGDX, one for Artemis-ODB. Artemis reflection cache errors are prefixed with artemis-odb.
