How to start a new game

1. Download the code from cocos2d download site
2. Enter tools/project-creator
3. Run the create-projects.py script

Example:

$ cd cocos2d-x/tools/project-creator
$ ./project-creator.py -n mygame -k com.your_company.mygame -l cpp -p /home/mygame
$ cd /home/mygame

Build new project for android

$ cd proj.android
$ ./build_native.py

Build new project for ios & osx

• Enter proj.ios_mac folder, open mygame.xcodeproj
• Select ios or osx targets in scheme toolbar

Build new project for linux

if you never run cocos2d-x on linux, you need to install all dependences by the script in cocos2d/build/install-deps-linux.sh

$ cd cocos2d/build
$ ./install-deps-linux.sh
$ ../..

Then

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..

Build Requirements

• Mac OS X 10.7+, Xcode 4.6+
• or Ubuntu 12.10+, CMake 2.6+
• or Windows 7+, VS 2012+

Runtime Requirements

• iOS 5.0+ for iPhone / iPad games
• Android 2.3+ for Android games
• OS X v10.6+ for Mac games
• Windows 7+ for Win games

Running Tests

Select the test you want from Xcode Scheme chooser.

• For OS X / iOS

$ cd cocos2d-x/build
$ open samples.xcodeproj

• For Linux

$ cd cocos2d-x/build
$ ./install-deps-linux.sh
$ cmake ..
$ make

Run Samples

$ bin/hellocpp/hellocpp
or
$ bin/testlua/testlua

  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.vc2012.sln

• For Android

$ cd cocos2d-x/build
$ python ./android-build.py hellocpp

Import HelloCpp Android project using Eclipse(released with Android SDK). The path to be imported is cocos2d-x/samples/Cpp/HelloCpp/proj.android.
