cocos2d-x¶

• cocos2d-x is a multi-platform, light weight & developer-friendly C++ 2D mobile game engine, open source and released under MIT License. It is a child branch of the famous "cocos2d-iphone" project, and will keep the primary features sync with it.

• The "X" in cocos2d-x means:
  • means C++. Sometimes we write .cpp postfix as .cxx. So "X" means the project is written by C++, and offer C++ APIs
  • means CROSS. The goal of this open project is to cross multi mobile platforms
