LibGDX Video Tutorial: Scene2D Grouping and Hit tests

 

In this third part of multiple part video tutorial looking at using Scene2D we look at creating Groups for organizing Actors, as well as hit testing, making it possible to select actors available in your scene.  All of the code is included below.  For an HD version of the video click here.
