• Xcode 4.6 (for iOS or Mac)
• gcc 4.7 for Linux or Android. For Android ndk-r8e or newer is required.
• Visual Studio 2012 (for Windows)

A subset of C++11 features are being used in cocos2d-x:

• std::function,including lambda objects for callbacks
• strongly typed enums,for most of the cocos2d-x enums and constants
• std::threadfor threading
• overridecontext keyword,for overriden methods

st std::function

• CallFunccan be created with anstd::function<void()>
• CallFuncNcan be created with anstd::function<void(Node*)>
• CallFuncNDandCallFuncOwere removed since it can be created with simulated withCallFuncNandCallFunc. See ActionsTest.cpp for more examples
• MenuItemsupportsstd::function<void(Node*)>as callbacks

The old values can still be used,but are not deprecated.

Removed Objective-C patterns

clone() instead of copy()

clone()returns an autoreleased version of the copy.

copy()is no longer supported. If you use it,it will compile,but the code will crash.

Example:

1// v2.1
2CCMoveBy *action = (CCMoveBy*) move->copy();
3action->autorelease();
4
5// v3.0
6// No need to do autorelease,no need to do casting.
7auto action = move->clone();

Singletons use getInstance() and destroyInstance()

All singletons usegetInstance()anddestroyInstance()(if applicable) to get and destroy the instance.

Examples:

v2.1 methods are still available,but they were tagged as deprecated.

Getters now use thegetprefix.

node->boundingBox() node->getBoundingBox() sprite->nodeToParentTransform() sprite->getNodeToParentTransform() And getters were also tagged asconstin their declaration. Example:

2virtual float getScale();
3
45float getScale() const;

POD types

Methods that were receiving POD types as arguments (eg:TexParams,Point,250)">Size,etc.) are being passed asconstreference.

void setTexParameters(ccTexParams* texParams); void setTexParameters(const ccTexParams& texParams);

Misc API Changes

ccTypes.h

Removeccprefix for structure names in ccTypes.h,move global functions into static member functions,and move global constants into const static member variables.

Global functions changed example

 1
 2// in v2.1
 3ccColor3B color3B = ccc3(0,0);
 4ccc3BEqual(color3B,1,207)">1));
 5ccColor4B color4B = ccc4(0); 
 6ccColor4F color4F = ccc4f( 7color4F = ccc4FFromccc3B(color3B);
 8color4F = ccc4FFromccc4B(color4B);
 9ccc4FEqual(color4F,ccc4F(10color4B = ccc4BFromccc4F(color4F);

12color3B = ccWHITE;
