cocos2d-x

cocos2d-x is a multi-platform framework for building 2d games,interactive books,demos and other graphical applications.
It is based on cocos2d-iphone,but instead of using Objective-C,it uses C++.
It works on iOS,Android,Windows Phone,OS X,Windows and Linux.

cocos2d-x is:

• Fast
• Free
• Easy to use

Git user attention

1. clone the repo from GitHub.

   $ git clone git@github.com:cocos2d/cocos2d-x.git

2. After cloning the repo,please execute download-deps.py to download and install dependencies.

   $ cd cocos2d-x
    $ python download-deps.py

3. After running download-deps.py.

   $ cd cocos2d-x
    $ git submodule update --init

How to start a new game

1. Download the code from cocos2d download site
2. Run setup.py
3. Run the cocos script

Example:

$ cd cocos2d-x
$ ./setup.py
$ source FILE_TO_SAVE_SYSTEM_VARIABLE
$ cocos new MyGame -p com.your_company.mygame -l cpp -d NEW_PROJECTS_DIR
$ cd NEW_PROJECTS_DIR/MyGame

Build and run a new project for Android

$ cocos run -p android -j 4

Build and run a new project for iOS

$ cocos run -p ios

Build and run a new project for OSX

$ cocos run -p mac

Build and run a new project for Linux

if you never run cocos2d-x on Linux,you need to install all dependencies by the
script in cocos2d/build/install-deps-linux.sh

$ cd cocos2d-x/build
$ ./install-deps-linux.sh

Then

$ cd NEW_PROJECTS_DIR/MyGame
$ cocos run -p linux

Run

$ bin/MyGame

Build and run new project for win32

$ cocos run -p win32

Build and run new project for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1

$ cocos new MyGame -p com.bar.foo -l cpp -d projects

With the Cocos2d-x v3.3,you can create Universal App (Two projects at the same time: Windows(Tablet) and Windows Phone 8.1 )

Build Requirements

• Mac OS X 10.7+,Xcode 5.1+
• or Ubuntu 12.10+,CMake 2.6+
• or Windows 7+,VS 2012+
• Python 2.7.5
• NDK r9d is required to build Android games
• Windows Phone/Store 8.0 VS 2012+
• Windows Phone/Store 8.1 VS 2013 Update 3+

Runtime Requirements

• iOS 5.0+ for iPhone / iPad games
• Android 2.3+ for Android games
• Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 for Windows Phone games
• OS X v10.6+ for Mac games
• Windows 7+ for Win games
• Windows 8+ for WinRT games (Modern Apps)

Running Tests

Select the test you want from Xcode Scheme chooser.

• For OS X / iOS

$ cd cocos2d-x/build
$ open cocos_tests.xcodeproj

• For Linux

$ cd cocos2d-x/build
$ ./install-deps-linux.sh
$ cmake ..
$ make

Run Samples

$ bin/cpp-empty-test/cpp-empty-test
or
$ bin/lua-empty-test/lua-empty-test

You may meet building errors when building libGLFW.so. It is because libGL.so directs to an error target,you should make it to direct to a correct one. `install-deps-linux.sh` only has to be run once.

• For Windows

Open the cocos2d-x/build/cocos2d-win32.vc2012.sln

• For Android

$ cd cocos2d-x/build
$ python ./android-build.py cpp-empty-test -p 10
$ adb install ../tests/cpp-empty-tst/proj.android/bin/CppEmptyTest-debug.apk

Then click item on Android device to run tests. Available value of -p is the API level,cocos2d-x supports from level 10.
