  • 0

I am starting to design a platform style game using xcode, that will need to use some physics, collision detection etc. including obstacles like rolling rocks, ropes etc.

Should I use Cocos2d/box2d for my project or create my own code?

The reason I am unsure is for a couple of reasons (some have already been answered in other posts)
1. Ive never used Cocos or box2d and not sure how to integrate this into my game (but im sure I will figure this out quicker than building a custom engine?!)

  1. The main reason: Is I want to also convent this game to Android. With my own code I would be able to do this, but using 3rd party code, wouldnt this be near impossible and I would have to design the engine anyway for android?

On a side note, if anyone has any great links to cocos2d tutorials how to use the engine in a project, that would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

    You can use Cocos2d-x. It’s a C++ porting of Cocos2d and supports several platforms, including Android.
