Summary

Well, I hope that you have an understanding of what it takes to package up and deploy your game on multiple platforms, and in fact, considering how Gradle works, it is entirely possible to build everything you need in one go:

gradlew android:assembleRelease ios:createIPA html:dist

I know because I have done this!

In this chapter, we looked at how to set up our Android releases and how to export the project with iOS, and we then looked at HTML and how we can generate JavaScript to cover this platform.

In the next chapter, we are going to look at how to integrate a third-party service and how to interact with it in LibGDX.

James Cook

James Cook is a Java software developer from London, England. He is currently touring Australia. He has developed software ranging from banking and mobile applications to games. He has worked for large gaming companies, such as Electronic Arts, Playfish, and Plumbee. During the day, he can be found working on rapid application prototyping for new social casino experiences. However, during the night, he collaborates with his longtime working partner, Dan Smallman, for Super Cookie Games to create games such as Super Bomb Noms, OMG Dancer!, and Betamax—Sherbet Plains. Super Cookie Games started out as a simple endeavor for James and Dan to learn how to make games and deliver them to Android, iOS, and the Web. Choosing LibGDX as the platform was a key component for the success of this duo, with six different games across three app stores culminating in 50,000 downloads—a testament to LibGDX and its brilliant feature set and ability.
