# spine-libgdx

The spine-libgdx runtime provides functionality to load, manipulate and render [Spine](http://esotericsoftware.com) skeletal animation data using [libgdx](http://www.libgdx.com/).

## Setup

1. Download the Spine Runtimes source using [git](https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git) or by downloading it [as a zip](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/archive/master.zip).
1. Using Eclipse, import the project by choosing File -> Import -> Existing projects. For other IDEs you will need to create a new project and import the source.

Alternatively, the contents of the `spine-libgdx/src` directory can be copied into your project.

## Notes

* The "test" source directory contains optional examples.
* spine-libgdx depends on the gdx-backend-lwjgl project so the tests can easily be run on the desktop. If the tests are excluded, spine-libgdx only needs to depend on the gdx project.
* spine-libgdx depends on the gdx-box2d extension project solely for the `Box2DExample` test.
