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, macOS, Windows and Linux.
Cocos2d-x Framework Architecture:
cocos2d-x is:
Clone the repo from GitHub.
$ git clone https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x.git
After cloning the repo, please execute download-deps.py
to download and install dependencies.
$ cd cocos2d-x
cocos2d-x $ python download-deps.py
After running download-deps.py
.
cocos2d-x $ git submodule update --init
Should set up environment before starting a new game or running tests
$ cd cocos2d-x
$ ./setup.py
$ source FILE_TO_SAVE_SYSTEM_VARIABLE
Should invoke this script if using linux system
$ cd cocos2d-x
$ ./install-linux-deps.sh
$ cd cocos2d-x
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cocos run --proj-dir .. -p [mac|win32|android|linux|ios]
$ 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
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cocos run --proj-dir .. -p [mac|win32|android|linux|ios]
You can also create a Lua project with -l lua
.
If need to debug program, then it is more convinent to use IDE to run and debug it. All platforms other than Android can use CMake to generate corresponding project file. Can refer to Detail CMake Guide for detail information.
For Android, the Android Studio project file lies in PROJECT_DIR/proj.android
. Can just use Android Studio to import the exsting project file.

Cocos Creator is the new generation of Cocos game engine with a full featured editor and content creation friendly workflow. It supports all major platforms allowing games to be quickly released for the web, iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and various mini-game platforms. Millions of developers have built 2D / 3D experiences, from hardcore games to web instant entertainment. A pure JavaScript-developed engine runtime is available on the web and mini-game platforms for better performance and smaller packages. On other native platforms, C++ is used to implement the underlying framework, providing greater operational efficiency. The engine is completely open source, and retains the advantages of Cocos2d-x which includes high performance, customizability, ease for debugging, easy to learn, and small package size.
Therefore, we no longer recommend new users to start with Cocos2d-x. Instead, please use the brand-new Cocos Creator for project development to enjoy the best editor and 3D support.
