I have been using the gedit text editor for java, for some time now. But now i gonna try out LibGDX. Is it possible to use the gedit text editor with LibGDX or do i have to switch to Ecplise or IntelliJ IDEA ?

    You can but developing is not just typing the code. What about debugging, publishing, handling dependencies... IMHO always go for the best accepted solution - and in this case it's Android studio. It's easy to use. – MilanG Apr 13 '20 at 11:16

You can use whatever editor but it means that to launch all your Gradle Task to compile / build you will need to do so in command line. I use Android Studio to do my games and it works well. This also allow you to use the LibGDX formater plugin.

    Sounds good, What I like with Android Studio is that you can compile and run the simulators directly from within the IDE. Not sure this is possible with Eclipse. Maybe it is. Have a good game @robert! – Julien Sep 14 '21 at 20:46
