Has there been any research on if LibGDX and Kotlin native could play together? For example, my entire game I’m writing in LibGDX is in Kotlin.

kennycason: libgdx and kotlin do play nice together. This is all from the JVM stand-point though. To my knowledge there has been no investigation between libgdx and kotlin-native though.

Thanks @scott I’ll learn more about kotlin native and see what I can’t come up with (if it’s even possible)

Ask @badlogic, he knows for sure 🙂

we'd jave to rewrite gdx in Kotlin, which is not going to happen

[badlogic]

however, i'm playing with the thought of writing a kotlin only lib at some point, possibly, maybe

[orangy]

🤔 may be if we convince Sony to adopt Kotlin at some point…

[badlogic]

you don't need sony, just a PS dev kit

[badlogic]

PS dev kit is based on LLVM/Clang already, shouldn't be a huge effort to port KN

xbox is a different story...

Does libgdx have C headers? If so, one may just try it out of the box. Regarding PS devkit, we are open to support it, however cannot invest efforts immediately.

libgdx is a Java lib.

I just saw the replies to this thread! Thanks for responding. Interesting thought on PS dev kit. I wish I had a bit more knowledge about it. If I can find some free time I may look into it.

Also @badlogic thanks for all the work on LibGDX. Absolutely love the framework.

you're welcome!
