Since we have no regular libGDX releases anymore, it is a problem to fix or extend backend behaviour that can't be overriden. While there's always a way to work around bugs in the core project, this is often not possible in the backends.
This is where this repo comes in.
If you need to change build-in behaviour, but don't manage to get the complete libGDX repo to build, don't want to build your very own version or don't want to use snapshot versions, this repo is what you need. Check my own additions to see what else is changed.
- Clone this repo
- Checkout the revision you need (next paragraph)
- Type
gradlew install - Change your project's backend dependency to the one you wish
In case you don't want to change something here yourself, but just want to use some of the additions, you can also use a Jitpack dependency. Don't forget to add Jitpack as a repo to your project:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
You can get help on the libgdx discord.
