Cocos2d-html5 alpha released

Added by Zhe Wang 12 months ago (6 comments)

We are happy to announce that Cocos2d-html5 alpha is released!

This is the first version of Cocos2d-html5. Most of functionality and test cases from Cocos2d-X are implemented in Cocos2d-html5. Currently, Cocos2d-html5 utilizes canvas for rendering, the API is almost the same as Cocos2d-X and Cocos2d-iPhone. High level API will be wrapped in next phase, which will offer nicer interface for Javascript programmers and will also be compatible with the javascript binding of Cocos2d-x & Cocos2d-iPhone.

Cocos2d-html5 has two menu implementations. One is DOM menu, and the other one is canvas menu. DOM menu will run more efficiently, but the drawback is that all menu items will always above the canvas.

Test cases has being tested and works as expected on

Chrome 16 & 18,
Safari 5.1,
IE 9 & 10
Firefox 12.0.

You can download the zipball and start from Getting Started with Cocos2d-html5.

But I think you are as lazy as me. So I prepare the deployed test case on this website from this wiki page .
RUN COCOS2D-HTML5 TEST CASES NOW
You can click and play with them here, with the pre-condition that your browser supports html5

We have not conducted detailed tests on mobile web browsers, as we are currently focusing on desktop environment. The mobile part is the job of javascript binding of cocos2d-x and cocos2d-iphone, that should run in native way.

We want to hear your valuable feed back in order to make Cocos2d-html5 better, please join the discussion on our Cocos2d-html5 subforum:

Beta release: http://cocos2d-x.googlecode.com/files/cocos2d-x0.11.0-win8-0.9.1.zip
Github repository: https://github.com/cocos2d-x/cocos2dx-win8

Inheriting the open source spirit from cocos2d, this branch is also open & free under MIT License.

Features:¶

Write Codes in C++, the same framework enables you to port your existing games from Cocos2d-X to Windows 8 easily.
Utilises DirectX 11 instead of OpenGL ES 1.1 for rendering. You don't need to know the complexity between these 2 rendering tech.

Document:¶

Installation and first run: How to create a new project for windows8 metro
SimpleGame: http://github.com/lihex/SimpleGameCocos2dxWin8

TBD¶

The Cocos2dx-win8 completion is already very high,but features below are semi-finished or TBD in the next version:

Chipmunk
Accelerometer
Rendering layer optimization

Cocos2dx-win8 branch will keep update and sync the translation with cocos2d-iphone & cocos2d-x monthly. Any feedbacks, suggestions, bug reports would be appreciated, please post them into our forum. We’ll create bug tracking from posts. If you release games based on this branch, please let me know.

Cocos2d-x Devcon was successfully held in Beijing

Added by Zhe Wang about 1 year ago

On 31st of March, the fourth CocoaChina Developer Conference and Cocos2D-X Technical Seminar were successfully held in Beijing. This year's Devcon focuses on technical part of the open source game engine Cocos2D-X. Speakers including the father of Cocos2D Ricardo Quesada, Cocos2D-X founder Walzer, Chukong Inc. CEO Haozhi Chen, CocoaChina founder Guanqun Liu, Net Dragon Product Manager Jianfeng Zou and many more experts in the industry participated in this event. Dozens of high profile industry leaders including from Google, Intel, Microsoft and around 1000 developers attended the event, some are even from outside China.

The opening addresser Haozhi Chen the CEO of Chukong Inc. shared their stories and experience on developing their game "Fishing Joy" with Cocos2D-X. "Fishing Joy" were downloaded and installed 61.5million times, with 4.5million daily active players.

Ricardo Quesada then shared his vision in "Cocos2D Past, Present and Future". The Past revealed the whole story behind the open source game engine and its community. The Cocos2D leader shows that there are about 3500 apps released based on Cocos2D and also the Cocos2D game engine family tree. The Future we see that there are bunch of tools lined up in 2012, such as the WYSIWYG editor CocosBuilder. On top of that, there are more feature in progress such as Javascript binding for both Cocos2D-x and Cocos2D-iphone, which will ease your game development, and same piece of code will work on 2 branches. Lastly the widely anticipated HTML5 version of Cocos2D also in the work.

Video of Ricardo's presentation is available here

Afterwards Walzer presented the "Stories of Cocos2D-X Communitiy", unveils that there are over 100million games downloaded that were developed using Cocos2D-X. The development of Cocos2D-X were split between "Coverage" and "Depth". Coverage signifies better support for more platforms; Depth represents more features such as Javascript and LUA binding, OpenGL ES 2.0 & DirectX 11 etc. Walzer also explained how to participate and contribute to Cocos2d-X community, and announced assets portal on Cocos2D-X website where everyone can contribute plugins, tutorials and subset features. The planed schedule is April: Cocos2D-X 2.0 Stable release & CocosBuilder Support, May: Cocos2D-HTML5 alpha. Walzer showed a Tetris demo that the same javascript source code can run on top of cocos2d-x + javascript binding on iOS, and on top of cocos2d-html5 in Chrome. That means sooner or later, you can write cocos2d game once in javascript, and pack it in native way, or run it in the browser.

Next, engineer of Google Kun Hu explained why Google have chosen to be the sponsor Cocos2D-HTML5 framework. Cocos2D-X core developer Sean Lin introduced Cocos2D-HTML5 framework and important features. The highlight of the show is when Sean demonstrated a stress test of early Cocos2D-HTML5 build, where 1000 sprites smoothly moves and crowded the screen in Google Chrome while still maintaining around 30 FPS, all this is inside a no hardware acceleration canvas2d environment.

Then, engineer of Microsoft Tory Xu and Cocos2D-X core developer Minggo Zhang introduced Cocos2D-XNA. Minggo talked about the connection between Cocos2D-XNA and Cocos2D-X, the features of Cocos2D-XNA, and how to port existing games to Cocos2D-XNA.

“Growing up with the open source Community”, Jianfeng Zou from NetDragon talked about Cocos2D-X optimizations and tools made by Netdragon. For example, the Mac port, which is submitted to merge with Cocos2D-X; the Texture Memory Inspector, which will help optimizing texture memory usage, and is about to be submitted to the open source community. NetDragon has also made many more tools such as protocol generator, AnimationEditor, Lua script binding. NetDragon have also made their own version of cocos2d-x with LUA on windows phone 7.

In addition to those speakers, there were many more guest speakers shared their stories and experience in developing multiplatform game with Cocos2D-X. Xuxin Zhang the CTO of Nebula shared their story behind "Crazy Castle" development with Cocos2D-X; Zhimeng Wang the senior engineer of IM2.0 shared their story behind "Funny Sango TD development with Cocos2D-X; Zhendong Wang the COO of AStepGame shared their experience in porting the game "Three Kingdoms TD: Legend of Shu" to Cocos2D-X; David Liu the CEO of RedAtoms shows the audience "Multiplatform Game Development using Cocos2D-x"

The Fourth CocoaChina Devcon lasted the whole day, provided rich opportunity for Cocos2D community to share their experiences and knowledges. It is also successful for industry insight and marketing experiences.

Almost 200 media reporting the whole event. Netease and CSDN have also created their special event site:
