Using LibGDX AssetManager for Smooth Startup Loading
Learn how LibGDX’s AssetManager lets you load textures, atlases, and sounds without blocking the render thread, eliminating startup stutters while managing memory and error handling.

Architecture Note: LibGDX AssetManager – Requirements, Minimal Design, Trust Boundaries, Operational Checks, Failure Modes, and Design Change Triggers
A concise architecture note for LibGDX’s AssetManager: requirements, minimal design, trust/data boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and when the design must evolve.
Mastering LibGDX AssetManager: Asynchronous Loading & Reference Counting
Learn how LibGDX’s AssetManager handles asynchronous loading and reference counting to keep your game running smoothly. A concrete example shows how to queue assets, monitor progress, and manage memory across platforms.
Fixing Black Textures After Pause and Resume in libGDX on Android
Sprites turn black after pausing an Android libGDX app? That's OpenGL context loss. Diagnose it with a cause table, ordered checks, and fixes via AssetManager or manual texture rebuilds.
androidUsing LibGDX AssetManager for Safe, Asynchronous Resource Loading
Learn how AssetManager centralizes texture, sound, and font loading, tracks references, and lets you show a loading screen without stalling the render loop.
javaMastering libGDX AssetManager: Asynchronous Loading, Runtime Checks, and Safe Disposal
Use libGDX AssetManager to load assets asynchronously, check progress, retrieve safely, and dispose cleanly. Follow this step‑by‑step guide to avoid memory leaks and startup stalls in your 2‑D game.
AssetManager and Screen lifecycle: where should reference counting and unloading live?
I'm designing a libGDX game (assume 1.12.x, desktop and Android targets) that uses a single shared AssetManager across multiple Screen implementations: a loading screen, a menu screen, and several level screens. The loading screen polls update() and reads getProgress() to drive a progress bar, which works fine. The unresolved part is the boundary between the
Multiple calls to Disposable.dispose() cause IllegalStateException – behavior uncertainty
The libgdx Disposable interface defines a void dispose() method, yet several implementations raise an IllegalStateException when dispose() is invoked more than once. Because the Javadoc is silent on whether repeated calls are permitted, developers encounter inconsistent outcomes: some libraries ignore the second call, others abort with an unchecked exception
Incremental ALTER Scripts vs Copy‑and‑Recreate for Safe Rollback in libgdx gdx-sql
Goal: ensure that a schema change made through libgdx’s gdx‑sql extension can be reliably rolled back to the previous version without requiring a full database backup. Constraint: SQLite versions prior to 3.35 commit DDL statements immediately, so wrapping ALTER TABLE in a transaction does not allow undo; developers must decide between maintaining incrementa
