java-game-dev-libgdx's Issues

.class files

Nice job on the book! It's really cool and the sample projects found here are awesome!
I've noticed the presence of the .class files as well. This seem a bit redundant here, and makes it a bit harder to navigate the project. Is there a specific reason why you chose to store them in git, or can we update .gitignore to ignore all .class files?
Keep up the good work!

Chapter 15 error: could not implicitly convert operands to arithmetic operator

The outline.fs has an error

0:17(30): error: could not implicitly convert operands to arithmetic operator

Which can be fixed by making the int explicitly a float:

vec2 pixelToTextureCoords = 1.0f / u_imageSize;

I don't know if this is an issue with newer openGL versions only, using Lwjgl3Application on an Intel Mesa driver.

Chapter3 ClassNotFoundException

If someone following along with Ch.3 on page 69, isn't using blueJ, they have are highly likely to run into this error, The solution I found was instead of the line:

Class theClass = Class.forName(className);

they should instead use

Class theClass = Class.forName("com.mygdx.game." + className);

I just wanted to make sure any people who struggle with this issue will be able to find a solution quicker than I did.

This worked for me, since I'm using Eclipse
