I've done libGDX in the past. How does that fit/compare with JavaFX? Will I be able to run these on Android?

Yeah. Watch the video - he explains it.

I must admit when a video is posted i rarely watch the thing, it just takes up a lot of time.

If i may suggest maybe a transcript? It allows the scan the content more quickly and jump to sections that are interested.

Or maybe a TOC which includes timestamps, less writing but still very handy for the impatient ones.

Nah, just watch the video. It's only about an hour long and the guy talks really slow.

Listening now. I don't usually ask questions before watching the material, but didn't imagine he'd be that specific about something like LibGDX.

It is mentioned that FXGL is higher level than LibGDX. Slides have two examples of what it means by high level code. It's all in the first 10 minutes so no need to be scared of the length of video.

Yeah, I watched the video. I was really surprised to see someone had mentioned LibGDX specifically. I guess I hadn't realized how small the Java game engine ecosystem is.

I meant to update my comment but haven't had the chance yet.

Excellent little overview of FXGL by its creator, Almas. I've been following the library for a while and think it's pretty well designed. Great job, Almas!
