<img src="http://www.cocos2d-x.org/attachments/801/cocos2dx_portrait.png" width=200> cocos2d-x ========= |Win32|Others| | ----|------| [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/minggo/cocos2d-x/branch/v3)|[](https://travis-ci.org/cocos2d/cocos2d-x) [cocos2d-x][1] is a multi-platform framework for building 2d games, interactive books, demos and other graphical applications. It is based on [cocos2d-iphone][2], but instead of using Objective-C, it uses C++. It works on iOS, Android, OS X, Windows, Linux and Web platforms. **Cocos2d-x Framework Architecture**:  cocos2d-x is: * Fast * Free * Easy to use * Community supported Git user attention ----------------------- 1. Clone the repo from GitHub. $ git clone https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x.git 2. After cloning the repo, please execute `download-deps.py` to download and install dependencies. $ cd cocos2d-x cocos2d-x $ python download-deps.py 3. After running `download-deps.py`. cocos2d-x $ git submodule update --init Download stable versions ----------------------- * [Cocos2d-x stable versions](http://www.cocos2d-x.org/download) * [Cocos2d-JS Lite version](http://www.cocos2d-x.org/filecenter/jsbuilder) How to start a new game ----------------------- 1. Download the code from [cocos2d download site][4] or clone this repo (instructions above) 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 You can also create a JS project or Lua project with `-l js` or `-l lua`. ### Build and run a new project for Android ### Cocos2d-x supports Android Studio. Simple open the `proj.android` directory from within the Android Studio environment. More information can be found in our [documentation](http://www.cocos2d-x.org/docs/cocos2d-x/en/installation/Android-Studio.html). ### 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 web ### Only JS project can be published to web platforms, so you will need to create a JS project first: $ cocos new -l js WebGame Then you can run your game in a web browser: $ cocos run -p web Or you can publish your game to `publish/html5/` folder: $ cocos run -p web -m release [--advanced] Using CMake -------------------------------- Cocos2d-x supports CMake, a cross-platform build system. Example usage: $ cd cocos2d-x $ mkdir cmake-build && cd cmake-build $ cmake .. * [Detail CMake Guide](cmake/README.md) Documentations and samples ------------- * [All Docs in a single place!](http://cocos2d-x.org/docs/) * [Online API Reference](http://cocos2d-x.org/docs/api-ref/index.html) _Note that Cocos2d-x, Cocos2d-JS and Cocos Creator have different API set_ * [Programmers Guide](http://cocos2d-x.org/docs/programmers-guide/2/index.html) * [Latest Release Note](https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/blob/v3/docs/RELEASE_NOTES.md) * [Changelog](https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/blob/v3/CHANGELOG) Main features ------------- * Scene management (workflow) * Transitions between scenes * Sprites and Sprite Sheets * Effects: Lens, Ripple, Waves, Liquid, etc. * Actions (behaviours): * Transformation Actions: Move, Rotate, Scale, Fade, Tint, etc. * Composable actions: Sequence, Spawn, Repeat, Reverse * Ease Actions: Exp, Sin, Cubic, Elastic, etc. * Misc actions: CallFunc, OrbitCamera, Follow, Tween * Basic menus and buttons * Integrated with physics engines: [Box2d][5] and [Chipmunk][6] * Particle system * Skeleton Animations: [Spine][7] and Armature support * Fonts: * Fast font rendering using Fixed and Variable width fonts * Support for .ttf fonts * Tile Map support: Orthogonal, Isometric and Hexagonal * Parallax scrolling * Motion Streak * Render To Texture * Touch/Accelerometer on mobile devices * Touch/Mouse/Keyboard on desktop * Sound Engine support (CocosDenshion library) based on OpenAL * Integrated Slow motion/Fast forward * Fast and compressed textures: PVR compressed and uncompressed textures, ETC1 compressed textures, and more * Resolution Independent * Language: C++, with Lua and JavaScript bindings * Open Source Commercial Friendly(MIT): Compatible with open and closed source projects * OpenGL ES 2.0 (mobile) / OpenGL 2.1 (desktop) based Build Requirements ------------------ * Mac OS X 10.7+, Xcode 8+ * or Ubuntu 14.04+, CMake 3.1+ * or Windows 7+, VS 2015 * Python 2.7.5+(NOT Python 3) * NDK r16+ is required to build Android games * Android Studio 3.0.0+ to build Android games(tested with 3.0.0) * JRE or JDK 1.6+ is required for web publishing Runtime Requirements -------------------- * iOS 8.0+ for iPhone / iPad games * Android 3.0.0+ for Android * OS X v10.9+ for Mac games * Windows 7+ for Win games * Modern browsers and IE 9+ for web games Running Tests -------------------- Select the test you want from Xcode Scheme chooser. * Cocos Console ``` // Enter cpp test folder cd tests/cpp-tests // Or enter js test folder cd tests/js-tests // Or enter lua test folder cd tests/lua-tests // Compile or run test case cocos compile -p ios|mac|android|win32|win8_1|metro|web -m debug|release cocos run -p ios|mac|android|win32|win8_1|metro|web -m debug|release ``` * For OS X / iOS ``` $ cd cocos2d-x/build $ open cocos2d_tests.xcodeproj ``` * For Linux ``` $ cd cocos2d-x/build $ ./install-deps-linux.sh $ mkdir linux-build $ cd linux-build $ cmake ../.. ``` Run Samples ``` $ bin/Debug/cpp-empty-test/cpp-empty-test or $ bin/Debug/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.sln` * For Android ``` $ cd cocos2d-x/build $ python ./android-build.py cpp-empty-test -p 14 $ adb install ../tests/cpp-empty-test/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 14. Or you can import the project located at `tests/cpp-empty-test/proj.android` using Android Studio 3.0.0+.
