Hi, we have added an admin secion for the cocos2d games page, so if you have added any of your games there, and you did enter your forum username on the add form, then you can manage them here:
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/games/cms
Just use your username/password from the forum, if you have one. Once logged, see the main navigation under the banner, “Games” to list and edit your games, and “Categories”, a read-only list of our cocos2d categories.
Once editing a game you will see the iTunes info, with a link to refresh (may take some time) and if you scroll down the page, you will see the cocos2d categories and the cocos2d version used, please try to fill all them. If you find your game doesn’t belong to any of our categories, please let us know.
Also note the subnavigation on the left, “Reviews” and “Videos”, so you can add more specific information. Use “Reviews” to add information related to other websites reviews, or even to link to the forum section.
And if you didn’t enter your username when you created the game, no worries, you can go again to:
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/games/add/
And fill in all information, including your forum username, and this will update the database and you will be able to use the CMS.
Please have a look and shout if any problems.

Nice job! just added in the version number for STAPig.
Guys, from time to time I notice few games on the forum (and probably on the games page) that to be honest don’t look like cocos2d games, we knew this could happen, people spamming their games even if not used cocos2d. I am not sure how we can control games on the forum, but on the games page, maybe we can do something, we could force everyone to put a reference to cocos2d, on text, on the iTunes description, then when scrapping the data from iTunes or when displaying the list of games on our site, we could search for the string “cocos2d” and filter out any game with no reference. I know this is big impact, as initially all games on the page would eventually disappear, but maybe it’s a good thing to do on the long run. What you guys think?
Why not have a required link to the ‘[game] my game’ thread in the forum, we tend to spot games in there pretty quickly if they’re not cocos2d.
Alternatively require a minimum of a month forum membership before allowing the game to be added to the games section.
I don’t think a name and shame policy would work, it’d have the overall effect of more exposure of the game in question.
Maybe the minimum of a month sounds like the easy thing to do, will check. Thanks!
nice
Maybe a bug:
Edited my game iTraceur / iTraceur Mini and they dissapeared from Games Admin Page. They still are in Games – i just can’t modify them.
I just updated info from iTunes and set cocos2d version.
@iPsi, sorry yes, it’s a bug! good spot, will send update to Ricardo, once there I will ask you to go here:
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/games/add/
and fill in again the info, that will make your games to appear again, sorry for any inconvenience!
So for everyone else, DON’T USE the iTunes refresh link on the admin just yet, wait for update.
Actually @iPsi, if you use the http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/games/add/ page now, be sure you put the username, your games will be back on the admin, just wait until the update is up to use the iTunes refresh link.
Ok, fixed the bug that was hiding the game from the admin section after updating the iTunes info.
By the way, I am working on a cocos2d game network, something similar to PlayHaven and others, see this:
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/games/network?id=356286001&refresh
It’s a page for the iPhone, that’s why so big. The idea is to pass the id of your game and it will list related games (related by cocos2d categories). It’s still on development, but the idea would be to either open from our games on a separate browser, so just a simple http link, or implement a simple UIWebView to load on top of our cocos2d scene. Will post more details one finished.
