A demo of classic 3-in-a-row puzzle game implementation using LibGDX and Entity-Component-System (ECS) architecture.
- 🧩 ECS Architecture: Clean separation of game logic using Entity-Component-System pattern
- ⚡ Event-Driven Systems: Efficient communication between game systems
- 🎮 Smooth Gameplay:
- Click-and-swap tile mechanics
- Match detection (3+ in a row/column)
- Cascading tile effects
- Valid initial board generation
- Animated tile movements
- Texture-based rendering
- Input locking during animations
- Auto-refill of empty tiles
How to play:
1 Clone the repository
2 Type gradlew.bat lwjgl3:run
3 Enjoy
A libGDX project generated with gdx-liftoff.
This project was generated with a template including simple application launchers and an empty ApplicationListener implementation.
core: Main module with the application logic shared by all platforms.lwjgl3: Primary desktop platform using LWJGL3; was called 'desktop' in older docs.
This project uses Gradle to manage dependencies.
The Gradle wrapper was included, so you can run Gradle tasks using gradlew.bat or ./gradlew commands.
Useful Gradle tasks and flags:
--continue: when using this flag, errors will not stop the tasks from running.--daemon: thanks to this flag, Gradle daemon will be used to run chosen tasks.--offline: when using this flag, cached dependency archives will be used.--refresh-dependencies: this flag forces validation of all dependencies. Useful for snapshot versions.build: builds sources and archives of every project.cleanEclipse: removes Eclipse project data.cleanIdea: removes IntelliJ project data.clean: removesbuildfolders, which store compiled classes and built archives.eclipse: generates Eclipse project data.idea: generates IntelliJ project data.lwjgl3:jar: builds application's runnable jar, which can be found atlwjgl3/build/libs.lwjgl3:run: starts the application.test: runs unit tests (if any).
