Cocos2D for Fun and Profit

Cocos2D is a fun little 2D graphics library that makes it easier to make OpenGL games. In this talk, you'll learn about the core concepts of Cocos2D.

This was presented by Jon Manning of Secret Lab at Swipe Conference 2012 in Sydney.

9. What’s Cocos2D?
18. What’s Cocos for?
19. UIKit Object-oriented Designed for UIs Easy to use, tricky to extend OpenGL Immediate mode Designed for 3D Maximum flexibility, steep learning curve
20. Why is OpenGL hard?
21. OpenGL assumes nothing about your content
22. glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 13); glTexImage2D (GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, imageWidth, imageHeight, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, imageData); glBegin (GL_QUADS); ! glTexCoord2f (0.0, 0.0); ! glVertex3f (0.0, 0.0, 0.0); ! glTexCoord2f (1.0, 0.0); ! glVertex3f (10.0, 0.0, 0.0); ! glTexCoord2f (1.0, 1.0); ! glVertex3f (10.0, 10.0, 0.0); ! glTexCoord2f (0.0, 1.0); ! glVertex3f (0.0, 10.0, 0.0); glEnd ();
23. Cocos2D makes a bunch of assumptions

28. UIKit Object-oriented Designed for UIs Easy to use, tricky to extend OpenGL Immediate mode Designed for 3D Maximum flexibility, steep learning curve
29. UIKit Object-oriented Designed for UIs Easy to use, tricky to extend OpenGL Immediate mode Designed for 3D Maximum flexibility, steep learning curve Cocos2D Object-oriented, OpenGL available Designed for 2D Easy to build dynamic 2D scenes
30. Cocos is great for: •2D games •Anything with lots of 2D animation •Simple OpenGL
31. Cocos is not so great for: •Interfaces •Text-heavy apps •Apps that should follow the iOS HIG
