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
  • 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

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.your_company.mygame -l cpp -d projects

Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 or later is required.

Starting with Cocos2d-x v3.3, you can create Windows 8.1 Universal Apps (Windows Store and Windows Phone 8.1) See more info on How to install and Create games on Windows RT (Windows and Windows Phone 8.1) at http://msopentech.github.io/cocos2d-x/

Starting with Cocos2d-x v3.6 there will no longer be support for Windows Phone 8.0

Build Requirements

  • Mac OS X 10.7+, Xcode 5.1+
  • or Ubuntu 12.10+, CMake 2.6+
  • or Windows 7+, VS 2013+
  • Python 2.7.5
  • NDK r10c+ is required to build Android games
  • Windows Phone/Store 8.0 VS 2013+
  • 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 cocos2d_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.sln

  • For Windows 8.1 Universal Apps (Phone and Store)

Open the cocos2d-x/build/cocos2d-win8.1-universal.sln

  • For Android
$ cd cocos2d-x/build
$ python ./android-build.py cpp-empty-test -p 10
$ 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 10.
