I'm currently learning things about #libgdx again. Wanted to do a little bit of hobbiest gamedev in the first half of the year and enjoy something new again. Seems that they got a new project bootstrap tool that only support #gradle. Gladly there is still the old maven archetype which just needs a bit of updating to work again with the latest version.

Last night I continued working on the Apparatus decompilation, specifically I was looking at why most of the in-game menu buttons did not get rendered. After doing some cleanups to make the SpriteCache initialisation clearer I remained stumped at why it would not work, considering drawing all buttons at once with the simpler method prototype did work.

Works: SpriteCache::draw(spriteId)
Does not work: SpriteCache::draw(spriteId, offset, length)

It started to seem like a bug in libGDX itself (SpriteCache being a part of libGDX's graphics code). And that's when I started to delve into libGDX internals, looking at the implementation in the 0.9.9 source code and comparing it against a Git blame from the latest version of libGDX to see if there was a bug that maybe had been patched in some revision shortly after 0.9.9 that Apparatus used.

After seeing an oddly recent change to the relevant code, and inspecting the decompilation of the vendored libGDX inside Apparatus 1.2.1 only to find an almost identical change there that predates the upstream change by 7 years, I made a startling revelation.

Apparatus had been hoarding a patch to a bug in libGDX for almost a decade that was only brought to their attention and fixed independently in 2020!!!

Er wurde später beim Schreiben eines Matchmaking-Servers beobachtet.

Working on the dialog style for my game UI and finally I'm quite happy with it.

I went through some iterations and had a hard time deciding if I want to have light or dark background. Wish me luck to not feeling the urge to rework it again in a week...
