Cross-Platform Game Development with libGDX
summary
A commercial board-game port for Pegasus Spiele was built using libGDX, using Stage/Actor and camera layering to simulate screens and curtains. Game logic is solved with backtracking instead of hardcoded rules, a level generator was implemented though the client prefers handcrafted levels, Box2D physics was not used, and targets include Android, iOS, desktop and an HTML5 preview; native payments and game services (OpenIAB) required significant integration effort. The project took about 20 person-days from two developers and produced a stable result with only minor post‑work before release.
