Has Cocos2DX been changed utterly by Cocos Creator? It seems just like the final replace of 2DX was a pair years again. Will it proceed to be up to date/supported?

Yes, it is suggested to make use of cocos creator for brand new initiatives, cocos2dx won’t up to date once more.

Depends what’s your understanding of lifeless. It won’t be receiving new options, however I consider will probably be maintained for bugs. And for me that’s greater than sufficient to maintain utilizing it for a lot of a few years. Also, i don’t discover any lacking function for the kind of 2nd video games I do.

Cocos2dx 4.0, regardless of the various “is dead” remark, is a really mature engine. Just verify what number of superb video games the place and are nonetheless carried out 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 suggest not be discouraged by the “is dead” feedback.

Maybe when 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 lots of feedback in different discussion board like Godot about coding in c++. In Godot you may, sort of, however it extra like a binding.

Cocos2dx was the one 100% cpp engine mature sufficient for CPP devs. They had one thing distinctive that different engines don’t present. It’s unhappy that they dropped it, however as I stated, in my case at the least, cocos 2dx 4.0 is greater than sufficient for years to return.

Hope that helps

you’re proper @rudiHammad . now as a cocos2dx sport developer, i can say i dont capable of get clearly cocos creator with out correct documentation and video tutorials. first issues i’ve by no means labored with typescripts or any sort of that editor. additionally right here once you use cocos creator and search on youtube or google for one thing assist in cocos creator you bought principally 4-5 outcomes hardly.
and why cocos group not occupied 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 simple to maneuver on creator.

@linrm please make properer docs for all function with actual time instance. that 2-3 git hub check circumstances, and docs will not be sufficient. and in addition 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 the whole lot 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 to be able to compile to native Apps.
else it simply runs within the net browser?. I want 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 tips on how to get a sprite on display then simply calling addChild(); and removeChild();.
but when anybody is I will probably be more than pleased to create a Video tutorial on utilizing the Source 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.

It is sweet to know that extra individuals are nonetheless utilizing cocos2dx.
I don’t know when you’ll discover many requests asking for cocos2dx tutorials. I might be very concerned about servers since I don’t know tips on how to do leadboards simply to hook up with a server storing the best scores(haven’t investigated a lot but).
This is the sport that I’m at the moment creating in cocos2dx 4
my cocos2dx sport
In any case, I additionally a lot want 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 sort scripts…I do see the attraction for different customers to make use of cocos creator, however many people nonetheless want and can preserve utilizing cocos2dx even when it’s not up to date anymore.
