   The game consists of launching one of two players as far as possible. The players are Sapus, the super-hero toad and Monus, the anti-hero monkey.

   It took me between 2 and 3 months to develop this game.
   The game uses Chipmunk (the animal body is simulated with 5 circles shapes), it uses Parallax, TileMapAtlas, AtlasSprite, Menu, cocosLive.
   The most difficult part was tunning the physics engine.

   I would've made the iPhone version free and the iPad version $0.99. And not just because I have an iPod Touch ;)

   Since there are millions people waiting to download free game from free app a day. There is no reason to let your apps free since they won't buy anyway (too many free apps to consider paying).

   More devs will leave or they will make free apps with ads.

   @riq didn't you say you're supposed to make different threads for different apps?

    This is from the [sticky] Announce your games in "cocos2d games" thread.

    One post per game. If you have 5 games to announce, it's better to create 5 different threads

    Sapus tongue is more of a demo of the features in cocos2d, it is available as source code that can be purchased. Keeping the iPhone/iPod and iPad versions together in one place makes sense.

    There are 11 posts in this thread, only 2 of which are on topic :(

    Just downloaded it, nice work! It's a little easier than the iphone version, not sure whether its down to the controls of the size of the screen though. (Just for reference no problems on 2.2 GHz Macbook with 4GB RAM)

    Looking forward to the full screen version :D

    @abitofcode: Thanks for testing it.

    cocos2d for Mac with Fullscreen support coming one of these days... not sure when, but it will be part of v0.99.5 or 1.0.

    It took me about 4 or 5 days to port it. The most difficult part was porting the "UIKit" objects into "AppKit" objects.

    If your game is based solely on cocos2d (non UIKit objects), then it should be much easier to port it, since the only thing that you would have to port it is the "touch events" into "mouse events" and/or "key events".

    Porting from UIKit to AppKit:
    - UITableView is somewhat different to NSTableView: so I had to write that code from scratch
    - The 'UIAlertView' part was written using a modal NSWindow
    - Mixing OpenGL + AppKit was done using an overlay window... probably this was the most difficult part
    - On the Mac version, all the AppKit widgets were done using Interface Builder (simpler), but on the iPhone version I created them manually.

    This has made my day. Great work Riq.

    Edit: are you going to do a blog post or press release about this Riq? This is a huge milestone for cocos2d and we should get word out about Mac OS support.

    I wonder how many programmers we have here that came from the Mac platform first (I used the popular Basic program before Xcode/cocos), versus people from Windows or beginners. Perhaps this will be a boon to Mac gaming. I know I balked at the idea of learning OpenGL myself (though I'm doing my best to learn what the classes I'm using are doing in cocos).

    Thanks again, I hope I can contribute soon!

    @steve-oldmeadow: Yes, this Tuesday or Wednesday I'll announce it on the blog and on other iphone and mac devel forums.
    v0.99.5-beta2 will be released too.

    I'm also thinking of making a little video about cocos2d for Mac, but I don't know if I'll have the time to do it.
