If you're making a game with libGDX, you will eventually need to draw many images (sprites) on the screen. Loading each image as a separate texture is incredibly inefficient and slow. This is where the Texture Packer comes in. What is the Texture Packer? The Texture Packer is a tool that takes multiple individual image files (PNG, JPG, etc.) and combines them into a single large image, called a Texture Atlas . It also generates a metadata file (usually .atlas ) that tells your game where each original image lives inside that big image. What is the Texture Packer
// 1. Load the atlas TextureAtlas atlas = new TextureAtlas(Gdx.files.internal("player.atlas")); // 2. Get a single region (a sprite from the atlas) TextureRegion playerStand = atlas.findRegion("player_idle_01");
