Quickstart for libgdx artemis-odb based games.
Preconfigured for artemis-odb advanced features. Contains minimal game scaffold.s
If you want artemis-odb with weaving, (optionally) fluid entities and LibGDX's gradle, a fork will get you up and running quickly.
I use this as my quickstart for jam games. You are welcome to use it for whatever you need.
Edit net.mostlyoriginal.game.screen.GameScreen and start editing!

Alter library versions and enable gdx modules in /build.gradle
Weaving and fluid interface creation are part of the core build step.
Gradle plugin requires Gradle 4.6+!
gradlew generateMatrix
GWT default build speed is horribly slow (10-20 minutes).
Because of this, enableClosureCompiler is disabled by default. Re-enable
it in html/build.gradle to shrink your game a bit at the cost of 300%
compile time.
To speed up your builds further you can chose to limit the target browsers
by adding a tag to GdxDefinition.gwt.xml.
<set-property name="user.agent" value="safari" />
GWT lacks reflection so the build process creates a reflection cache.
To use @Wire make sure your components, managers and systems are
placed under the premade component, manager and system packages.
There are TWO reflection caches, one for LibGDX, one for Artemis-ODB.
Artemis reflection cache errors are prefixed with artemis-odb.
