Kotlin extensions for the libGDX game framework

Project mention: LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-13

I liked working with it (the library) but learned I hate working with Lua just slightly less than I hate working with JS. At least in JS we now have TS and things like Elm.
I ended up moving to https://github.com/libktx/ktx for that little project.

libGDX was using GWT to convert their Java code to JS. This works directly on the Java source code and that's why it isn't compatible with Kotlin. However there is a new backend now based on TeaVM that compiles JVM bytecode to JS instead, so it also works with Kotlin. You still need to use some GWT dependencies (for instance Box2D has native deps by default, but there is a Java only replacement that can also be used for TeaVM). Here's an example of a TeaVM libKTX project
