Can anyone tell me what are the benefits of using LibGDX and just doing bare java and making from scratch?[03:22:38] <TheUnkn0wn0ne> RicyTheNewbie: The cross-platform ability of libGDX is probably the best function[03:23:01] <ShivanHunter_> also, as a game library, it handles a lot of nity-gritty OpenGL stuff for you[03:23:17] <ShivanHunter_> (you can work with OGL directly but you usually don;'t need to)[03:23:32] <TheUnkn0wn0ne> RichyTheNewbie: If you want to access OpenGL directly you can by using Gdx.gl[03:24:05] <ShivanHunter_> also tons of cool libraries are supported e.g. box2d[03:24:39] <ShivanHunter_> (though box2d and some others don't work with html5, since it uses GWT)[03:24:43] <BlueProtoman> RichyTheNewbie: What they said, plus tools. Wanna use particles? Wanna not write them by hand? Wanna use sprite sheets but not write out the coordinates by hand? God bless.[03:25:08] <TheUnkn0wn0ne> ShivanHunter_ box2d does indeed work with GWT[03:25:25] <ShivanHunter_> hmm! It didn't when I tried last ludum dare[03:25:36] <Tomski> yup![03:25:47] <BlueProtoman> ShivanHunter_: Did you include the GWT-flavored Box2D?[03:26:06] <TheUnkn0wn0ne> That's odd. There are some minor differences because we use the GWT emulation API for box2d since it doesn't support native code[03:26:17] <ShivanHunter_> no, I just stumbled on some blog post that said it didn't work[03:26:22] <TheUnkn0wn0ne> But they shouldn't affect anything other than preformance[03:27:43] *** onelson has joined #libgdx[03:28:07] <RichyTheNewbie> Okay, seems LibGDX is more powerful than I thought.. Gonna stick with it, although it's not that newbie friendly from what I see.[03:28:29] <RichyTheNewbie> How did you guys learned it, reading the documentation?[03:28:34] <ShivanHunter_> it's very usable once you get into it, but documentation is kinda spread out :/[03:28:37] <ShivanHunter_> yeah[03:28:59] <ShivanHunter_> Googling for various blogs/tutorials/etc usually answers my issues[03:29:11] <TheUnkn0wn0ne> RichyTheNewbie: When I first started using libGDX I couldn't render a simple texture by myself in pure opengl[03:29:43] <TheUnkn0wn0ne> RichyTheNewbie: I can barely do that now :P, so I better buy a book on that asap, but I learned from the wiki and tutorials online[03:31:51] <cackling_ladies> they removed the old pipeline long ago[03:33:31] <RichyTheNewbie> Thanks the unknown, at least I know im not the only one struggling, but it try my best to make a simple game, cuz i really want one[03:36:35] <nexsoftware> You really want a simple game?[03:37:23] <BlueProtoman> LibGDX is decently newbie-friendly, but I think some improvement on the API docs is in order.[03:38:10] <nexsoftware> Boo docs[03:39:41] *** LiquidNitrogen has joined #libgdx[03:48:43] <TheUnkn0wn0ne> I do agree that the docs do deserve some love. I think the best way to start is hiding/removing documentation on apis that no longer exist[03:49:24] <TheUnkn0wn0ne> Theres also a few things to fill in on the wiki, but I think eventually we'll get there[03:51:30] <isdera> i would recommend watching dermetfan's videos on youtube. I used those to help me understand the basics of Libgdx like setting up the project, and how the Screen classes work.[03:52:27] *** fauge has joined #libgdx[03:52:34] <fauge> hi[03:52:38] <nexsoftware> People always talk about docs needing improvement then never improve the docs[03:53:02] <fauge> i would love more examples on the docs[03:53:29] *** Lecherito has quit IRC[03:53:47] <TheUnkn0wn0ne> nexsoftware: I think I might go through a few and update them soonish.

Is that bad?[23:49:51] <mobidevelop> BlueProtoman: Cool, I've got a quick meeting but I'll be back in half an hour or so[23:49:56] <remonvv> I begin/end it every frame[23:50:20] <Xoppa> no, you only need to dispose it once, after you dont need it anymore[23:50:29] <BlueProtoman> mobidevelop: Okay, see you then![23:50:30] <remonvv> Thought so, got worried there ;)[23:50:38] <Xoppa> disposing the batch will destroy and free all used shaders[23:50:47] *** LtKernel has joined #libgdx[23:51:39] *** LtKernel_ has joined #libgdx[23:53:25] <remonvv> Xoppa : What would be the best strategy if you want to select specific shaders based on the type of model I'm rendering? Multiple ModelBatch instances each with their dedicated ShaderProvider or a smarter createShader that inspects the Renderable somehow?[23:53:39] *** rachard has joined #libgdx[23:54:09] *** grim001 has quit IRC[23:54:37] *** grim001 has joined #libgdx[23:54:41] <Xoppa> remonvv, check the link i posted, you should use material/environment/mesh to decide which shader to use. The easiest method is to use a specific material attribute http://blog.xoppa.com/using-materials-with-libgdx/[23:54:52] <remonvv> Alright, cheers[23:55:01] *** badlogic-mbp has joined #libgdx[23:55:28] *** LtKernel has quit IRC[23:55:31] *** Justin-C has joined #libgdx[23:56:00] <[twisti]> how come perspective cams are so often set to 66 or 67 ? in games they seem to default to 90[23:56:09] <[twisti]> like minecraft or quake[23:56:21] <Xoppa> it horizontal angle vs vertical angle[23:56:21] <[twisti]> are those different scales ?[23:56:27] <mobidevelop> BlueProtoman: I got a shit-ton of errors on compile, probably the same as dermetfan got[23:56:34] *** hextileX has quit IRC[23:56:40] <[twisti]> ah, i thought it was field of view[23:56:48] <Xoppa> it is[23:56:48] <dermetfan> They are too many to post on pastebin.[23:56:59] *** Justin--C has quit IRC[23:57:08] <BlueProtoman> mobidevelop: With what task, superDev or dist?[23:57:14] <dermetfan> compileGwt[23:57:18] <dermetfan> for me at least[23:57:29] <mobidevelop> dist[23:57:57] <mobidevelop> Something seems to be pulling in gwt-dev for compile[23:58:09] <kalle_h_> [twisti] fov is very sensitive for performance too[23:58:20] <[twisti]> how so ?[23:58:30] *** siondream has quit IRC[23:58:30] *** Slijt has quit IRC[23:58:45] <kalle_h_> just increase it by couple degree and shadow map need to be crazy size[23:58:52] <kalle_h_> or you need to add more cascades[23:58:53] <mobidevelop> Meeting time[23:59:01] <rachard> I noticed that Gdx.graphics.getFramesPerSecond() does not follow the real frame rate (at least in IOS).[23:59:16] <[twisti]> oh yeah i could see that[23:59:24] <kalle_h_> and it means more objects rendered and tinied triangles(which are more expensive)[23:59:25] <[twisti]> would increase what, to a power of 3 ?[23:59:40] <BlueProtoman> dermetfan: I've been using superDev[23:59:41] <rachard> I don't see drop in framerate, when I have have small hickup. When I did my own time measurement, I can detect the hickup.[23:59:48] <[twisti]> oh yeah i meant to ask about tiny triangles
