This document discusses using the Cocos2d-x game engine for mobile game development. It provides an overview of Cocos2d-x, describing its cross-platform capabilities, open source nature, and modules for graphics, animation, audio, GUI, physics and more. Key classes in Cocos2d-x like Scene, Layer, Sprite, Node and Actions are explained.

3. Why need Game Engine

4. Create a Game
Everyone has creativity
We might want to clone a existing game
We have a good idea for game
Writing Game is COOL, and We are COOL!!!

5. Game Engine help us
Faster Development
Easier Development (You might don't know OpenGL...)
Abstract Layer (You might need to port your game to another platform....).
Focus on FUN
If you spend more time on fighting with code, you has less time to think about your game, especially most of us are independent programmer

6. Game Engine might has
Sprite, Scene, Animation
Modifier
Particle System
Event Handling
Game Thread
Renderer
Physics Engine
Collision Detection
Script Language

7. Mobile Game Frameworks Landscapes
 Corona
 Unity
 Cocos2d-x
 Many other…

19. Graphics& Animation
 Scene
 Layer
 Sprite
 Node
 Action

20. Node
Anything that gets drawn or contains things that get drawn is a Node
The most popular Nodes are: Scene, Layer, Sprite, Menu.

21. Node
The main features of a Node are:
o They can contain other Node nodes (addChild,removeChild,etc)
o They can schedule perodic callback (schedule, unschedule, etc)
o They can execute actions (runAction, stopAction,etc)

22. Scene
Scene an Node are almost identical with the difference that Scene has it’s anchor point at center of the screen

23. Layer
 Layer is a subclass of Node that implement TouchEventsDelegate protocol
 All features from Node are valid, plus the following new features:
•It can receive touch event
•It can receive Accelerometer input

24. Sprite

25. Sprite
Sprite is a 2D image
Sprite can be created with a image, or with sub- rectangle of image
Objects in the game was created by a Sprite or its subclasses

26. Action

27. Action
 Actions are orders given to a Node object
 These actions usually modify some of the object’s attributes like position, rotation, scale, etc.
 Basic Action
•Position : MoveBy, MoveTo, JumpBy, JumpTo, etc.
•Scale : ScaleBy, ScaleTo.
•Rotate : RotateBy, RotateTo.
•Visibility : Show, Hide, Blink.
•Opacity : FadeIn, FadeOut, FadeTo.
•Color : TintBy, TintTo.
