Why should we make app when multitouch doesn’t work, drawnode (simple rectangle) drops fps by 10 and more?

slackmoehrle · April 20, 2015, 12:26pm

Are you saying multi-touch doesnt work on Windows Phone?

DrawNode does need some optimization. We are aware of this.

What’s news about “Back Button”?

slackmoehrle · April 20, 2015, 1:16pm

I have someone from Microsoft taking a look and providing a fix. I received word this morning that they were testing and hoping to certify the fix today.

https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/issues/10240

Still not fixed in 3.5.

slackmoehrle · April 20, 2015, 2:43pm

Thanks. Let me ask someone to take a look at this too.

There are also other issues that should be resolved in order to develop apps for the contest:

Looks like the back-button issue has been fixed!

https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/pull/11523

andreee671 · April 21, 2015, 2:00pm

So, all we need is to update cocos version to the latest?

slackmoehrle · April 21, 2015, 2:14pm

Yes, back-button has been fixed. Pulling the latest from GitHub would be helpful

genix_developer · April 25, 2015, 5:24am

I think Microsoft and Chukong Technology should send a email confirm joined to contest

cnsoft1 · April 25, 2015, 6:17am

Cool! it seems that, we should focus on our game production, the platform related issue can be handled by the right guys. e.g: Microsoft . Chu Kong. i like this mode.

smitpatel88 · April 25, 2015, 1:27pm

Does anyone got problem similar to this?

Can anyone help me out?

marcelocontarini · April 25, 2015, 1:55pm

WP back button will be available on next cocos release (3.6 final, i think)?

slackmoehrle · April 25, 2015, 2:00pm

I sent you an e-mail with your token, what other e-mail are you looking for?

slackmoehrle · April 25, 2015, 2:00pm

or pull from GitHub and you can have it now.

genix_developer · April 25, 2015, 2:15pm

No.I need a email confirm after i submitted my entry

kidproquo · April 25, 2015, 2:26pm

Pulling from Github is not enough since the template files are also modified and you won’t have the updated versions in your project.

This is what I did and it worked:

Update the cocos2d folder in the project by following this: Every New Version Relase should be downloaded?. Then do git pull and git checkout v3.
Update the cocos download. I have v3.5. Inside the downloaded folder, add a remote: git remote add origin https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x.git. Then do do git pull and git checkout v3.
Now create a new cpp test project. Copy all XAML, .cpp and .h files from test project’s proj.win8.1-universal\App.Shared to your project’s App.Shared folder.

Hi,

I really wanted to try and enter a game for this competition, but I’m unable to make a game of mine work in anything but a browser, I’m just getting a black screen and I’m running out of ideas to try. More details here: Black screen with FPS numbers only when running win32 app in desktop & .apk in android

If anyone has any thoughts, I’ll gladly appreciate them.
