So ~~~~LDJAM 44 is right around the corner next week and I was wondering if anyone else from this community will be participating. If yes, will you be using the LITIengine?
Gurkenlabs - that means my brother and I - will definitely take part and create a game with the LITIengine.
Oh, and btw: I'm currently preparing another release with a ton of improvements for the editor which will be released just in time for the jam.

### Update 26.04.2019 2:00PM CET

I've just created the ~~GitHub repository for LDJAM 44. I've added an additional branch that uses the LITIengine's latest release ****~~v0.4.17-alpha****: https://github.com/gurkenlabs/litiengine-ldjam44/tree/v0.4.17-alpha . You can use this branch as a starting point if you're planning to make a game with the LITIengine.

### Update 14.05.2019 8:00 PM CET

Completely forgot to share a link to our entry here ... Here you go:
~~~~SERVUS BONUS LDJAM44
The code can be found in the repository mentioned above.

So, using the branch I wanted to make sure my build will go smoothly. It seems there are dependencies I'm missing off the bat. Could you talk a little bit about how to get these dependencies? Is there a page on the site where I can get information on setting up the config file?

That's my plan. I'd like to learn Java by making a game. I'm coming from a Unity C# background. I'm actually having a bit of trouble with LitiEngine though. All the download commands for Gradle did not work. I ended up z7ip extracting the .jar to my project folder.
I'd love some guidance on setup to make sure I can enter the weekend smoothly with a project that can build properly.

AimDiab Since our LDJAM game will be open source, I'm creating an empty game project on GitHub in a few hours which you can simply fork and use as the start for your project if you'd like.
We'll include the engine as a submodule instead of using a release version because we'd like to have the freedom of improving/adding things where we see the necessity. For you, this shouldn't make any difference though because the commit that this submodule will point to will be equivalent to the release version ~~**~~v0.4.17-alpha**.
It would be great if you could describe what exactly didn't work for you using Gradle so we can further investigate it and provide you with a solution.

The master branch references the engine as a Git submodule while the ****~~v0.4.17-alpha**** branch references the engine with a simple Gradle command ~~~~compile 'de.gurkenlabs:litiengine:0.4.17'

steffen Thank you!
In regards to what problem I was having, I installed Gradle globally and added it to my PATH so I could use the commands globally but I could not figure out how to download or unzip the engine using Gradle, so I did it manually with a web browser and 7zip. The Getting Started pages on the website are a bit brief.

AimDiab Sorry for answering so late, I just read about your response here right after the jam and figured it might have already been too late by then... If you still need some assistance with the engine, let me know.

steffen Hi Steffen. I ended up having to go back to Unity for LD44 since I could not get past the build errors. I also found out that 70% of the documentation is blank.
I would like to know what these build errors mean and how to solve them.

AimDiab Please understand that the engine is still in an alpha version and documentation is a lot of work for us. We will be completing the documentation by the time we release the engine 0.5.0-beta. Currently, it's WIP.
> I would like to know what these build errors mean and how to solve them.
To solve this I might need some more context: What IDE do you use and which version? What JDK version do you have installed? For me, the branch I've created worked out of the box when importing the project in Eclipse (~~~~2018-09 (4.9.0)) as Gradle project. I'm currently using JDK 8u201 but have also tried it with JDK 11.
