This is an example of building a mobile game app using the libGDX game development framework and the Kotlin programming language.

The project includes the following features:

Build the Project

Setup your development environment
For Android, simply use Android Studio to import the Gradle project. Even for Kotlin it is the best choice, because the IDE has a integrated support.
Consider using the Kotlin plugin for Android Studio.
To build for desktop, use the following run configuration:
To build for desktop and create a executable jar file, use the commandline and navigate to your project root folder, then type the following:
- For Windows: gradlew.bat desktop:dist
- For macOS/Linux: gradlew desktop:dist
- You can find the resulting jar in the desktop/build/libs folder.

Update to libgdx 1.9.7-SNAPSHOT. Better ignore artifacts file for iOS.
moe 1.3+ is compatible with libgdx 1.9.6+ and recommended to use that version, in this case modified it to be 1.9.7-SNAPSHOT thus will solve crash error on iOS as it cannot find relavent .a libraries files as should be built and copied to respective directory inside ios/xcode/native/ios (tested on simulator and iOS device with Xcode 8.3)

Updated .gitignore file to ignore artifacts file which will be generated when build the project for iOS. Due to those files are large in size in multiple of MBs. It's better not to include them in source tree. This also ignored user's data inside Xcode project file too.

This tested on Android Studio 2.3.1.

Unable to run

I mean, IDK, I've looked for a solution for 2 hours, and nothing works... if i open this project on Android Studio 4, i get:

Could not determine java version from '11.0.8'.

The project uses Gradle 4.6 which is incompatible with Studio running on Java 10 or newer.
See details at https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/8431
Possible solution:
 - Upgrade Gradle wrapper to 4.8.1 version and re-import the project
