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

Also, v1.0.0-beta + sprite reorder fixes is available for download:

This branch is the same as v1.0.0-beta with Araker’s reorder-sprite changes. If your game adds/removes/reorders many sprites per frame, I suggest trying this version instead.

What’s next:

  • v1.0-rc in 3~4 weeks: It will includes fixes, fixes, fixes, and Xcode 4 templates
  • v1.0 , in 6~8 weeks: It will include more fixes and fixes.

THIS VERSION INCLUDES A CRITICAL BUG FIX. Please, use this version or apply this patch.

Please, let us know if you find any bug in this version. Thanks.
