As Cocos2d-JS v3.0 alpha have been released on 15 March, we are happy to announce that now Cocos2d-html5 and Cocos2d-JSBinding are merged into one single project: Cocos2d-JS. It provides a consistent development experience for no matter what platform you want to distribute, web or native. Code once, run everywhere will become even more simple in 3.0. First of all we will focus on unify the API of JSBinding with Cocos2d-html5. Secondly, Cocos2d-JS provides a script tool cocos console to simplify the creation of the project.
We hope you enjoy the new workflow and new javascript API of Cocos2d-JS. But we do know that the API changes of this version may be too much to some developers, and upgrade from 2.2.2 to 3.0 is not that easy neither. So we have prepared a bunch of documents to save you some time.
This topic is created to collect all your feedbacks for Cocos2d-JS v3.0a, any questions, suggestions, issue reports, complains are welcomed here, please help us to improve Cocos2d-JS and the community appreciate your contribution in any form.
Best regards

@vyrin We have a problem on our server right now. Maybe for the Fools day:P
But if you change the base url from http://www.cocos2d-x.org to http://cocos2d-x.org, it will work.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi there,
I was using Coco2d v2.2 I updated to v3.0 and I am having problem with sounds.
In v2.2 I had both sources (“ogg” for android and “mp3” for iOs). To play the sounds, I used the following function:
cc.AudioEngine.getInstance().playEffect(“Resources/button_click”);
It worked fine without having to specify if it was "mp3"or “ogg”.
Now in version v3 I had to change my code to:
cc.audioEngine.playEffect(“Resources/button_click.ogg”);
I had to specify if it was “ogg” or “mp3” because I was getting an error.
My question is if I am doing it correctly and if there is a way to verify the Operational System is android or iOs.
Also, the sound plays fine in my iMac but it is not working on my iPhone while it is working working fine on my android phone.
Every time i run my batch file with “cocos.py run -s c:/MyGame -p web” in it, the spinning hello world displays.
I edited index.html, main.js, app.js, and resource.js. As a user from cocos2d-html5 v2 I am not sure what is actually happening when I run cocos.py from my source code.
@cronx the cocos.py script only create a local host and run your index.html on it.
So if you modified the js files, it should take effect. What you have met is probably linked to the browser cache, try it on Chrome and disable the cache.
First I want to say that the CLI tool is really good idea! Much more easier to create projects. I have two things that I could not understand though:
How to deploy to an iOS device? Can you actually do that with the CLI tool? If not, is there an Xcode project I can use? (Update: I just found the project in frameworks/runtime-src/proj.ios_mac. Maybe just add info to the readme file. )
The structure of the created project is not very clear.For example do I need to checking /tools to source control? What exactly should be under source control?
All in all, it seems that v3.0 is much better than the previous. Good work!
You can do that with the built in Xcode project: frameworks/runtime-src/proj.ios_mac, we will add this information, thanks for the feedback
There is only bindings generator in /tools, if you don’t need to modify auto binding yourself, you won’t need it. But we will add also the structure intro into README
There is a error on the for interator of the tilemap/CCTMXXMLParser.js on line 616. It is overwriting the variable of line 573. That error is preventing the parser to iterate trough all tile sets. Changing the variable name fixed that
