About¶

Cocos2d-x community focus on expending the platform adaptor of cocos2d gaming framework. Currently we've ported 3 branches:

• native port, it's mainly written in C++, mixed with a little Java and Objective-C. Lua binding and javascript binding are offered on scripting layer. With cocos2d-x, developers can easily port their cocos2d games onto iOS, Android, Bada, BlackBerry Qnx, Marmalade, WindowsXP/Windows7, Linux and Windows8 Metro.
• html5 port, named as cocos2d-html5, it's written in pure javascript and html5, focus on desktop browsers
• xna, in pure C#, focus on Windows Phone 7 and XNA rendering.

All branches above are released under MIT License.

We aspire to create a world-class open source project.
