I’ve never made a program into an executable before, and I’ve been looking into how to do this for some time now. When I try to put it into a jar everything works fine but when I try to run it nothing happens.
How do I make my game into an executable so it can be run (on windows, not android)
I feel like I am not Linking it to the libraries or something… Not sure.
Thanks!
Edit:
I should add I get the error
JAR export finished with warnings. See details for additional information.

Your problem is that when you use eclipse export as Executable jar file it does not include the assets (graphical, sounds …) that you used in your gdx project. What you can do manually is either copy your assets folder right next to the generated jar file or include your assets folder in your jar file with your favorite zip management tool.
Another way would be to use this same eclipse export wizard and check “Save as ANT script” and then edit the generated ant file to include all the files and folders needed by your app.
Hope this helps
