Cococs2d-x and marmalade transition

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hello all,
just one quick question: I’m going to develop a game using cocos2d-x, but the publisher requires Marmalade support. Does this mean that I can code using cocos2d-x and then at the final stage use platform-marmalade to compile it on Android and different devices or I need to develop keeping Marmalade in mind? Thanks.

You should be able to just develop with cocos2d-x under windows and when ready to deploy to a device then build with Marmalade. You will have to create a project file (.mkb) and an app.icf file that defines various things such as memory use when you are ready to build with Marmalade.

I usually setup the window environement under cocos2d-x for a game and also the Marmalade version so that I can check performance on the device and use the marmalade simulator to check for memory usage.

Regards,

Francis

Hi,

I’m using Marmalade 6.0.5 with cocos2d-1.0.1-x-0.13.0-beta. This version of cocos2d-x is ready for working with Marmalade, just use the .mkb file which is in the platforms directory.

Cheers.

Hi Amit,

I you have cocos2d-1.0.1-x-013.0-beta and Marmalade 6.0.x installed then you should be able to just double click on the mkb files.

For example, if you double click on 2d-x\HelloWorld\marmalade\HelloWorld.mkb then this will load into Visual Studio the HelloWorld project to be compiled with Marmalade. I assume it does the same thing with Xcode if you are on a Mac.

To run all the cocos2d-x test then double click on 2d-x\tests\test.marmalade\test.mkb to load and build the project with Marmalade.

Regards

Francis

I just started using Cocos with Marmalade. I’m coming from Marmalade development and I’d like to use cocos, but I cannot find any tip. The links in these posts are old and deprecated.
Suggestions to start with a classical HelloWorld example?

Edit: Found HelloWorld (and other) in the folder: cocos2d-2.1beta3-x-2.1.1\samples\Cpp

Hi Zapp Zapp,

What I recommend is just downloading the last cocos2d-x version and look at the examples.
It should be a directory with a Marmalade example. Use it as the base for your Marmalade cocos2d-x apps/games.

Cheers!
