Has Cocos2DX been changed utterly by Cocos Creator? It seems to be just like the final replace of 2DX was a pair years again. Will it proceed to be up to date/supported?
Sure, it is strongly recommended to make use of cocos creator for brand spanking new tasks, cocos2dx won’t up to date once more.
Relies upon what’s your understanding of lifeless. It won’t be receiving new options, however I imagine it is going to be maintained for bugs. And for me that’s greater than sufficient to maintain utilizing it for a lot of a few years. Additionally, i don’t discover any lacking function for the kind of second video games I do.
Cocos2dx 4.0, regardless of the numerous “is lifeless” remark, is a really mature engine. Simply verify what number of superb video games the place and are nonetheless completed with it. Some builders are nonetheless utilizing right this moment 3.x model.
In case you are like some devs, together with myself, that need to code in c++ I’d advocate not be discouraged by the “is lifeless” feedback.
Perhaps in case you’re video games are 3d cocos creator would make sense? I don’t know.
I believe it’s a disgrace that they determined to drop new model of cocos2dx. I ve learn quite a lot of feedback in different discussion board like Godot about coding in c++. In Godot you’ll be able to, type of, however it extra like a binding.
Cocos2dx was the one 100% cpp engine mature sufficient for CPP devs. They’d one thing distinctive that different engines don’t present. It’s unhappy that they dropped it, however as I stated, in my case not less than, cocos 2dx 4.0 is greater than sufficient for years to come back.
Hope that helps

I’m utilizing 3.17 the final of model 3. 4 launched a few bugs for me and I don’t use METAL witch is the equal of home windows direct X. the engine has all the things you want, couldn’t consider something it actually wants aside from a GUI interface scripting of the engine. additionally dose cocos creator not want the supply with the intention to compile to native Apps.
else it simply runs within the internet browser?. I desire supply as is I can optimise it & have higher management. it’s actually easy to make use of anyway. and to let you know the reality would spend extra time now determining how you can get a sprite on display screen then simply calling addChild(); and removeChild();.
but when anybody is I can be more than pleased to create a Video tutorial on utilizing the Supply programming and Optimise the crap out of it and the way it works. Joystick, Servers, Threading , debugging and video games.
if sufficient individuals ask I’ll begin a youtube channel and ask the admins right here to start out a thread.
however cocos2dx supply could be very a lot alive for me.

In any case, I additionally a lot desire to create a spirte and place it utilizing code that having to go throuhg a ui, drag and drop, translate in a viewport, then choose the sprite and fix to it kind scripts…I do see the enchantment for different customers to make use of cocos creator, however many people nonetheless desire and can hold utilizing cocos2dx even when it isn’t up to date anymore.
