Thanks for the ❤️
When I was learning LibGDX Game Development, I was super excited, so much excited and I was surfing everywhere I can be on the internet and I discovered so much stuff! from e-books, to video tutorials to blog series to even playing with games that actually built using this lovely library. It was a fantastic experience, and I am now trying to grab as much as I can remember all the resources I've been playing with. I hope this would be really really useful for those who want to code games for fun!
