Introduction to CocosSharp
The document outlines a presentation by James Montemagno, a developer evangelist at Xamarin, on building games using CocosSharp, a C# port of the Cocos2D game engine. It discusses key concepts such as the scene hierarchy, application lifecycle, and various components within the CocosSharp framework. Montemagno also provides resources and samples for getting started with game development using this technology.

- 12. CCApplicationDelegate § Handles applicationlifecycle § Similar to UIApplicationDelegate on iOS § Sets the application’s content folder § Load the main window’s first scene public virtual void ApplicationDidEnterBackground public virtual void ApplicationDidFinishLaunching public virtual void ApplicationWillEnterForeground

- 15. CCScene § Manages gamelogic for various portions of your game § Contains layers (CCLayer)
- 16. CCLayer § Contains CCNodes §Labels, Sprites, Menus, and more var scene = new CCScene (mainWindow); var layer = new GameStartLayer (); scene.AddChild (layer);
- 17. CCSprite § Nodes thatcreate images in your game § Image file must be in a Content folder § DefaultTexelToContentSizeRatio(s) § Used to maintain content across resolutions
- 18. CCAction § Actions performtasks on nodes § For example, animating sprites § Run multiple actions sequentially using CCSequence § Run multiple actions in parallel using CCSpawn
