So the part I thought would be rather easy ended up being a little more challenging than expected. I wanted to get my textures to rotate with the Box2D bodies, but it was a no go for a while. Then I discovered the great libgdx-utils-box2d extension! Gosh it works like a charm. The images are certainly temporary, don't worry. The art isn't my main focus at this point. I am working by myself after all.
