Has Cocos2DX been changed fully by Cocos Creator? It appears to be like just like the final replace of 2DX was a pair years again. Will it proceed to be up to date/supported?
Sure, it is suggested to make use of cocos creator for brand new initiatives, cocos2dx is not going to up to date once more.
Relies upon what’s your understanding of useless. It is not going to be receiving new options, however I imagine it will likely 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 2nd video games I do.
Cocos2dx 4.0, regardless of the numerous “is useless” remark, is a really mature engine. Simply test what number of superb video games the place and are nonetheless achieved with it. Some builders are nonetheless utilizing immediately 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 useless” 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 possibly can, form of, however it extra like a binding.
Cocos2dx was the one 100% cpp engine mature sufficient for CPP devs. That they had one thing distinctive that different engines don’t present. It’s unhappy that they dropped it, however as I mentioned, in my case no less than, cocos 2dx 4.0 is greater than sufficient for years to come back.
Hope that helps
you’re proper @rudiHammad . now as a cocos2dx recreation developer, i can say i dont in a position to get clearly cocos creator with out correct documentation and video tutorials. first issues i’ve by no means labored with typescripts or any form of that editor. additionally right here if you use cocos creator and search on youtube or google for one thing assist in cocos creator you bought largely 4-5 outcomes hardly.
and why cocos group not fascinated with these previous developer who’re working with cocos2dx when cocos2dx 2.x was there. i dont know however for me with out correct tutorial, video, documentation it’s not straightforward to maneuver on creator.
@linrm please make properer docs for all function with actual time instance. that 2-3 git hub take a look at circumstances, and docs just isn’t sufficient. and likewise please do proceed assist for already construct cocos2dx video games.

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 every little thing you want, couldn’t consider something it actually wants apart from a GUI interface scripting of the engine. additionally dose cocos creator not want the supply with a view to compile to native Apps.
else it simply runs within the net browser?. I favor supply as is I can optimise it & have higher management. it’s actually easy to make use of anyway. and to inform you the reality would spend extra time now determining the way to get a sprite on display then simply calling addChild(); and removeChild();.
but when anybody is I shall 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 folks ask I’ll begin a youtube channel and ask the admins right here to begin a thread.
however cocos2dx supply could be very a lot alive for me.

I don’t know in case you’ll discover many requests asking for cocos2dx tutorials. I’d be very fascinated about servers since I don’t know the way to do leadboards simply to connect with a server storing the best scores(haven’t investigated a lot but).
That is the sport that I’m at present creating in cocos2dx 4
my cocos2dx recreation
In any case, I additionally a lot favor 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 sort scripts…I do see the enchantment for different customers to make use of cocos creator, however many people nonetheless favor and can maintain utilizing cocos2dx even when it isn’t up to date anymore.
