CocosBuilder

This is the fourth release of CocosBuilder 3 alpha. If you are using cocos2d-js, make sure that you also update to the latest version of CocosPlayer and check CocosPlayer’s README.md file for information on how to enable the new JS debugger. Please make a backup of all your project files before updating as CocosBuilder is still in alpha state.

Download

• cocosbuilder.com/?page_id=11

Highlights

• Visual debugger for cocos2d-js projects, works with the version of CocosPlayer included with the source code More info here
• Much improved text editor with better syntax coloring, autocomplete and live syntax checking of your JavaScript files
• Smart sprite sheets now support different formats for iOS, Android and Web
• Publish and run in browser (for cocos2d-js projects)
• Publisher will ask to save files before publishing
• Many smaller enhancements and bug fixes

• Improved support for Cocos2d JS
• Skew properties can now be animated (not supported in cocos2d-html5)

Known issues

• If updating from an earlier version of CocosBuilder, you will need to remove your published folders and republish all files (or the ccbi-files will not be updated to the latest version and will be incompatible with the new CCBReader).
• Sometimes sound fails to play back inside of CocosBuilder, but will work when played back from your real project.

• Images are now displayed correctly on retina devices
• CocosPlayer has better connectivity to CocosBuilder
• Publishing files to CocosPlayer is much faster

• CocosBuilder v3.0-alpha1

Today, an alpha version of CocosBuilder 3.0 is released together with beta versions of cocos2d-iphone, cocos2d-x and cocos2d-html5. All these frameworks and tools work beautifully together and for the first time it is possible to write a cocos2d game that will run multi-platform on web and devices with the very same source code!

CocosBuilder is rapidly becoming more of a complete toolchain for developing, testing and publishing your games. Introduced in this version is CocosPlayer, an app you can install on your iOS device or in simulator. CocosPlayer will automatically connect through wifi to CocosBuilder and allow you to very quickly push new code and resources to the device without any recompilation.

Download the example CocosDragonJS game to see how easy it is to develop a game with CocosBuilder and Cocos2d, or just try it out directly in your browser!

Remember that CocosBuilder 3 is still in alpha, so there can be bugs and many planned features are still missing. The final version will include better Javascript editor support, a visual debugger, improved project browser, timeline sound support and much better documentation.

Getting Started
The documentation for CocosBuilder 3 and the new Javascript bindings are still a bit on the lacking side. The easiest way to get started is to view the CocosDragonJS example, get it from the download page. More examples will follow soon!

Integration between CocosBuilder interface files and Javascript works similarly to integration with Objective-C code, so if you have used CocosBuilder before you can get up to speed quickly. (If you haven’t check out the tutorial at the Zynga Engineering blog). The main difference between how Javascript and Objective-C connections work are that in Javascript a controller class will be used instead of a subclass. This means that you will need to forward callbacks for touches, accelerometer and schedulers from the node to the controller class (this will be simplified in the future). See the CocosDragonJS example on how to do this.

CocosBuilder’s built in Javascript editor is still very basic. It’s planned to add features such as proper auto complete and displaying errors inline. In the mean time, you may want to use an external editor such as Sublime.

Known bugs and issues
CocosBuilder will currently not scale images correctly on Macs with retina displays. Automatic sprite sheet generation is still very experimental.

• CocosBuilder v3.0-alpha0
• cocos2d-html5 v2.1
• cocos2d-iphone v2.1-beta4
• cocos2d-x v2.1beta3-x–2.1.0

Our goal is to provide a complete toolchain for developing multi-platform games both for Web and Mobile, all the way from rapid prototyping to a finished high performing game.

The main components of our stack are:

• A visual editor ( CocosBuilder )
• A graphics engine ( cocos2d )
• A physics engine ( Chipmunk )

For the Web, we are using pure JavaScript code, while for Mobile we are using JavaScript on top of native engines for maximum performance.
