KTX is a collection of modular Kotlin extensions for the libGDX game framework, leveraging Kotlin features like coroutines, type-safe builders, and operator overloads to improve libGDX's ergonomics. It ships as many small modules covering GUI, physics, assets, ECS, math, logging, and more, for desktop, Android, and iOS targets.

Use cases

• write a libGDX game in Kotlin with idiomatic APIs
• build Scene2D UIs with type-safe Kotlin builders
• load game assets asynchronously with coroutines
• set up Box2D physics with Kotlin DSL
• use Ashley or Artemis ECS with Kotlin utilities
• reduce boilerplate in libGDX logging and collections

When to choose

• you use libGDX with Kotlin and want less boilerplate
• you want modular opt-in utilities rather than a full framework rewrite
• you need coroutine-based async asset loading on libGDX

When to avoid

• your project is pure Java on libGDX
• you use a different game engine like Godot or Unity
• you need a complete engine rather than extensions
