cocos2d-x might change name to cocos3d-x?

cocos2d-x
#1

i’m not a game maker, but i was wandering cocos2d-x now supports 3d, the name still remains “2d”, maybe we can change it to “cocos3d-x”. or just “cocos-x”

We have discussed this at length many times on these forums. Please search for discussion on this.

Actually I couldn’t find any topic that answers this question on the forums. Could you please point me to any one?

they’re just naming it cocos

I recall a few threads. I can find them.

For now: http://discuss.cocos2d-x.org/t/discuss-the-next-step-of-cocos2d-x/21182

Not to mention, that there is already one:
http://cocos3dx.org

Interesting. This is the first time I know cocos3dx.org
But we shouldn’t divide 2D and 3D separately. For cocos, we can create 2D, 3D, 2.5D or 3D scene mixed with 2D UI from one engine.

Totally. I found out about it a few weeks ago, as a search on cocos and 3D came up with that site: http://cocos3d.org/
I never heard of both of them before.
How many cocos versions are even out there? cocos2d(-x, -js, -xna, -swift, -python), cocos3d, cocos3d-x,…

I totally agree on that. I don’t know of any other engine, which does name it’s version after their features. E.g., UE2D, UE3D, Cryengine2D, Cryengine3D… would be like a Disturbance in the Force :smile:
It would just introduce even more FUD.

I just ordered cocos-x.org, so that nobody else does it before us. Just send me a PM if you decide renaming it to cocos-x and moving to cocos-x.org! For now it simply redirects to cocos2d-x.org.
