GDX | Game Development Extensions | Game Engine library

Currently I have a game in libgdx that show ads on top of the game layout. However, as you can notice, it hides part of the top of the screen, where the score is shown.

Question: How can I make the ads show ABOVE the game view/screen, so it doesnt overlap/hides anything from the game? I want the screens to be as shown in the next picture.

Current code:

I've been learning about libgdx recently. In the process of following the instructions on their libgdx wiki I ran into some problems.

Specifically in the GameScreen class at the 99th line I changed the code inside so that it goes back to the previous screen (MainMenuScreen class) and yes you see when the mouse is pressed it worked (I mean go back to the screen before ) but a very very short time after, the screen AUTOMATICALLY switches to the GameScreen class (like I click the mouse once but it makes me 1 more redundant task). I guess when I click on the GameScreen screen it did the code in the if statement on line 99 to go to MainMenuScreen screen. In that screen at line 32 I guess it was true after I got to this screen because when I change the key is listened then it works fine (only converts once). I was intending to try implementing InputProcessor on each screen class but now I'm avoiding it for some reason. Can someone give me some advice recommend.Thank you

Here is the source code for the MainMenuScreen class.

I'm using libgdx scene2d to render 2d actors. Some of these actors originally included scene2d Label actors for rendering static text. The Labels work fine but drawing ~20 of them on the screen at once drops the frame rate by 10-15 frames, resulting in noticeably poor rendering while dragging.

I'm attempting to avoid the Labels by pre-drawing the text to textures, and rendering the textures as scene2d Image actors. I'm creating the texture using the code below:

Consider:

I'm using LibGDX to render 2d fog-of-war type functionality. This involves drawing a dark rectangle over the entire map with transparent holes in it where you can see the map below. I'm attempting to use OpenGl stencil buffer to create the circular masks, but I can't seem to get the logic correct.

The code below correctly draws the dark rectangle (the fog) but the circular masks are not being stenciled. i.e. the entire map is dark.

I am starting programming with Scala and I decided to make a really simple game using libgdx. I have created this class:

I have this ship sprite (prototype for now) and I've been trying to move it along its rotation but it is not working so well.

<-- Example Image of what I think should happen --> When researching, I saw that sometimes the cosine is for the x position and the sine is for the y position, this makes me a little confused about what to do. But sometimes I saw otherwise which makes me wonder since I thought the x should be using sine and y should be cosine

I'm working on a game, and during the initial phase I want the user to be able to switch between two/three screens freely.
From what I've seen online you switch screens by calling the setScreen function on your game instance. The problem is that it seems to work only when you pass a new instance of a screen as the parameter (I tried to pass the whole screen to A a new screen B, but calling myGame.setScreen(A) while on B doesn't do anything), and I'd like to store the changes applied by a user even after he leaves the screen.
I thought about storing these informations in a class that I'll pass as a parameter everytime the user switches screens, but this solution seems inefficient and wrong.
Is there any standard way to return to a previous screen without losing all the changes done to it? Does myGame.setScreen work only on new instances of Screen?

Here's the code I tried to use to return to the old screen :

Does anyone know why libGdx can't find the .tsx file? I have have tmx tsx and png in the assets folder under the core folder. In the tmx file, I have the source set to the file path for the tsx file. I made the tsx and tmx file with Tiled if that helps.
