How to setup the file path to litiengine in Gradle?

Hey! Read up a bit on Gradle, never used anything like it before since I'm a first year engineer student, and can't seem to get past this bump.

Ive copied the settings and build from the Gurk Nukem project but can't seem to specify a path to that my Gradle build can use? Can anyone see if I'm doing something obviously wrong?

Hi, sorry for the late answer:

Generally speaking: you want to use a released version of the LITIENGINE. The Gurk Nukem project directly references the LITIENGINE as a project. This is not the recommended way of doing things but since the game is used as a sample project for the engine, and thereby always kept up to date, we decided to use that setup.

As an end-user of the engine, you should use a released version of it. This has been previously discussed in this GitHub issue

In short: use compile 'de.gurkenlabs:litiengine:0.5.0 instead of compile project(':litiengine') in your build.gradle.

We should probably adjust the sample project to that format because it's not making the intended usage very clear.

Thank you for your feedback/question.

I've updated the Gurk Nukem project by implementing the mentioned changes.
