Kotlin meets libGDX

Written in Kotlin

Utilizes language features like coroutines, type-safe builders and operator overloading to ease game development.

Based on libGDX

Extends a robust multi-platform game framework with highly modular and minimally opinionated Kotlin utilities.

Multi-platform

KTX can be used to create desktop, Android and iOS applications. Supports other platforms through third-party libraries.

Safe

Our main goals are usability and stability. Comprehensive test suites are written for every KTX feature.

Well documented

Each module is documented by a guide with a list of its features and extensions, as well as API usage examples.

Open

KTX sources are available on GitHub under CC0 license. We are open to contributions.
