Developing games with cocos2d

Cocos2D is a game development platform.

It uses a hierachy of classes

• Director - there is only one director. The director is running scenes
• Scene - there can be multiple scenes, but at any one time only one scene is running
• Layers - a scene can be composed of multiple layers
• Sprites - sprites are animated images which can be part of a layer

• Install the Anaconda Distribution (https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/)
• Install VS Code from within Anconda (this installs automatically the Python extensions)
• Launch VS Code
• Select the /anaconda/bin/python3 environment ('base': conda)
