cocos2d Xcode 4 templates

Published by riq on March 16, 2011 in cocos2d. 47 Comments

cocos2d for iPhone Xcode 4 templates can be downloaded from here:

IMPORTANT:

As you might know, Xcode 4 has a new way to define templates. The new format is not documented, so, in order to create the new templates a lot of copy & paste, and trial & error was needed.

The current cocos2d Xcode 4 templates are not as polished as the Xcode 3 ones, but they include the basic functionality.

The package includes:

  • cocos2d template
  • cocos2d + Box2d template
  • cocos2d + Chipmunk template

The “file” and “Mac OS X” templates are not ready yet.

INSTALL (Option A):

eg:

$ mkdir -p ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates
$ cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates
$ tar xzvf cocos2d-1.0.0-beta_templates.tar.gz

INSTALL (Option B):

  • Download “develop” branch from github
  • run the install script
$ cd cocos2d-iphone
$ git checkout develop
$ git pull
$ ./install-templates.sh -f -u

    Just a quick note, on my install the path was Developer/Library etc, not the other way round. Maybe it is for others, I’m unsure of how the xcode installer works across systems.

    Great work btw, looking forward to trying them out in a sec!

    Hi, I’ve download these templates and I’m facing a problem I don’t know how to solve.
    If I create a sample new project with just Cocos2D, I can run it with no problem and behaves as expected, with te Hello World on the iPhone screen.
    But if I try to create a Box2D project, and try to run the sample, without changing anything, the complier fails. I’m not able to know what I’m supposed to change, in previous version of Xcode I ran the same test, and it worked with no problems.
    Xcode tells me there are 14 issues (like “No such file or directory in b2Shape.h”, i.e.)…. any help? Nobody has faced this problem??

    Hi, Riq,

    Great help!
    How did you know to where to try out your copy & past to find the correct location?
    Is there any principle?

    Getting the same problem as JRM with Option A, will try Option B.

    I’m getting the box2d template error as well. Anyone?

    Update to above comment: option B fixed the problem

    JRM, I was having similar problems creating a new Box2D project under XCode 4. I have found a workaround:

    In each of the Box2D source files, change the #include paths from:

    #include

    to

    #include “b2Collision.h”

    It’s a bit of a pain in the ass because you have to go through every file and change it, but it will at least get the job done. It seems to be a bug in XCode4. This is the only workaround I have come up with.

    for file template you could do the following for now:

    copy the “cocos2d 1.0.0″ from /Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/file templates to /Developer/Library/XCode/Templates/File templates and then rename folders inside the cocos2d/CCNode Class folder from “*.pbfiletemplate” to “*.xctemplate”.

    If someone needs I’m created template files.

    1. Download from “cocos2d_1.0.0.zip” https://files.me.com/miroslav.perovic/7despc
    2. copy the “cocos2d 1.0.0.zip″ to /Developer/Library/XCode/Templates/File templates and unpack it
    3. Run Xcode and add new template files in your application

    PS This is not official cocos2d template files.

    Just FYI…

    It seems that when XCode updates it also backs up the Develop folder into one called Developer-old and then recreates a new one.

    If this happens you will need to copy the File Templates from the old one into the new one for it to work again.

    On mine the templates disappeared after a Software Update.

    Thanks!
