cocos2d Description

A framework for building 2D games, demos, and other graphical/interactive applications cocos2d is built over pyglet and it will provide some classes and conventions to help you structure a "scene based application".A cocos2d application consists of several scenes, and a workflow connecting the different scenes. It provides you with a "director" (a singleton) which handles that workflow between scenes. Each scene is composed of an arbitrary number of layers; layers take care of drawing to the screen (using the pyglet and OpenGL APIs), handling events and in general contain all of the game/application logic.Cocos simplifies the game development in these areas:· Defining a workflow for your game· Creating special effects in layers· Creating transitions between scenes· Managing sprites· Basic menus Here are some key features of "cocos2d": · Flow control: Manage the flow control between different scenes in an easy way · Sprites: Fast and easy sprites · Actions: Just tell sprites what you want them to do. Composable actions like move, rotate, scale and much more · Effects: Effects like waves, twirl, lens and much more · Tiled Maps: Support for rectangular and hexagonal tiled maps · Transitions: Move from scene to scene with style · Menus: Built in classes to create menus · Text Rendering: Label and HTMLLabel with action support · Documentation: Programming Guide + API Reference + Video Tutorials + Lots of simple tests showing how to use it · Built-in Python Interpreter: For debugging purposes · BSD License: Just use it · Pyglet Based: No external dependencies · OpenGL Based: Hardware Acceleration What's New in This Release: · Added particle systems: Sun, Fire, Fireworks, Meteor, Galaxy, Flower, Exposion, Spiral · Added lerp actions · Applied patch by naveen.michaudagrawal · Applied patch by Kao Cardoso F??lix · Applied patch by JeanpierreDA · Fixed Camera "once" locate bug · Many bugfixes · Primitive vector based line drawing. · Tile-map editor
