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’s endorsed to make use of cocos creator for brand spanking new tasks, 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 consider 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 characteristic 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 wonderful video games the place and are nonetheless finished with it. Some builders are nonetheless utilizing right now 3.x model.
If you’re like some devs, together with myself, that need to code in c++ I’d advocate not be discouraged by the “is useless” feedback.
Possibly should you’re video games are 3d cocos creator would make sense? I don’t know.
I feel it’s a disgrace that they determined to drop new model of cocos2dx. I ve learn a whole lot of feedback in different discussion board like Godot about coding in c++. In Godot you may, 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 at the least, 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 every part 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 in an effort to compile to native Apps.
else it simply runs within the internet 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 methods to get a sprite on display screen then simply calling addChild(); and removeChild();.
but when anybody is I shall be very happy 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 begin a thread.
however cocos2dx supply may be very a lot alive for me.

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 connect to it kind scripts…I do see the attraction for different customers to make use of cocos creator, however many people nonetheless favor and can hold utilizing cocos2dx even when it’s not up to date anymore.
