   Cocos2d should have a prefix in class name.
   For example: UI..., NS...,CG...,gl...

   But the prefix should be:
   cc > [ccNode node]; [ccAtlasSprite ...
   CC > [CCNode node]; [CCAtlasSprite ...

   I prefer CC in capital letters.

   It should - but probably wont bc its too much work to go back and change and bugtest everything.

   You will be able to migrate using :
   find "CocosNode"
   replace "CCNode" or "CCView" to use an API similar to the UIKit
   ...

   It would be nice for version 1.0 was used this new API.

   totally agree with this. Since there's no "namespace" in Obj-C, prefixing classes like this is needed.

   Because it is Objective-C it needs to be upper case to follow the rules.
   And yes, I second that a prefix is badly needed!

   C2D would be clearer than CC in my opinion.

   Yes C2D would be clearer, but currently a lot of functions are using cc namespace, for example:
   ccp() >>c2dp() //all CGPoint Extensions
   C2P_DEGREES_TO_RADIANS //all macros
   ...

   too much work.

   I agree that C2D is better. I always found CC a bit confusing.

   > too much work.

   Doesn't XCode offer a refactoring function ?

   Would it be possible to have a macro file for games during the transition:

   #define ccp C2Dp
   ...

   If someone knows how to maintain backwards compatibility, please, let me know.

   My idea is:
   have prefix in v0.9, but functions without prefix should work. Transition should be easy. Ideally, classes without the prefix should raise a warning at compile time.

   In v1.0, remove the functions without the prefix.

   Ideas ?

   Regarding the prefix, I find C2D a bit too long. I like CC or C2 better than C2D.

   CC Would be great IMO. Less finger moving.

    +1 for CC.

    Could we do something with typedef e.g set up a compatibility header with stuff like

    typedef CCAtlasSprite AtlasSprite;

    I also prefer CC.
    #define works too:

    #define AtlasSprite [CCAtlasSprite class]
