A project for learning to develop video games in C++

info

This project has been created for teaching some friends about developing video games using C++, we have choose Cocox2d-x to simplify our development.

Main goals:

• keep it simple
• do small steps
• focus in game mechanics
• don't build an engine
• giving live to a game

requirements

• C++ compiler for your platform (clang, gcc, etc.)
• C++ IDE (XCode, Visual Studio Code, Android Studio)

First download the dependencies

$ cd cocos2d
$ python download-deps.py

Now you could open the project folder for the platform you like to use:

• proj.android
• proj.ios_mac
• proj.linux
• proj.win32

Currently we are just updating the iOS and Mac project other may not work, yet.

running from the command line

$ git clone --depth 1 git@github.com:cocos2d/cocos2d-x.git cocos2d
$ cd cocos2d
$ python download-deps.py
$ git submodule update --init
$ python setup.py

now for running the game, from the project folder:

$ cocos run -p <PLATFORM>

where <PLATFORM> is :
