Nat Weiss from iPhoneGameKit.com has just completed a Cocos2d-X-powered platformer example game and announced a free How to make a Cocos2d-X game book.

The first chapter has been written. It's called What is Cocos2d-X & Why is it One of the Best Free Game Engines ?

Additional chapters are being added to the book every week. It will eventually feature everything from setting up your Cocos2d-X projects to artificial intelligence. There will even be a chapter about self-publishing your game to the app stores.

The Example Game¶

In addition to the free book, the source code to the Paralaxer side-scrolling, wizard-fighting Cocos2d-X example game is available for download at Paralaxer.com.

Download and play Paralaxer on the App Store and Google Play. The Windows version is also available for download and the Mac version is coming soon.

So check out the Paralaxer Cocos2d-X Game Source Project for iPhone, Android & Windows and learn how to make a platform game with Cocos2d-X.
