A fast, easy to use, free, and community supported 2D game engine
Will look into it :)
Meanwhile - is the Mac version compatible with Box2d ? If so - what should be done on the template to be able to easily add it ? I tried to add Box2d sources to the Mac project, but it ends with almost 7000 errors - invalid imports of course
EDIT: got a funny forum error while posting this message - "Slow down, you're moving too fast"
Yes, it should be easy to add the box2d sources. "Add... -> Existing files..." should work.
Hmm, tried again and no difference... See for yourself:
1) I have created new project from template (downloaded from GitHub about 3 hours ago)
2) Copied Box2d directory from the same download into the libs folder
3) Added existing files (tried to both cocos2d and project target) - selected the Box2d folder
4) Compile - 6000+ errors
I changed the main.m, HelloWorldScene.m and AppDelegate.m to .mm files but not helping
Also - speaking about the template - it selects cocos2d lib as the default target instead of the actual "game"
I have Box2d working in Air Hockey for Mac: http://twitpic.com/3afopy
I had to change the compiler to GCC 4.0 & copy the Box2d stuff to my project directory (for the header search path to work), but it's working fine.
If you don't want to copy the Box2d stuff to your project directory, you should be able to change the "Header Search Paths" in your project settings to include the Box2d directory (make it recursive).
Works ! Thanks for help everyone, especially for the header search paths suggestion !
What worked for me:
1) Created new project from template with the preferred project name ('MyGame'-mac)
2) Changed .m files to .mm files (delegate, helloworld)
3) Renamed Resources to Resources-mac (so they don't clash with original project)
4) Copied Platforms/Mac and CocosDenshionExtras to the original project directory, in the proper places
5) Copied the mac project file, its resources and classes to the main project folder
6) Changed main.m file with iPhone / Mac #defines (so that same file is used for both projects)
7) Set header search paths in all configurations of the Mac project to 'libs' and selected always search user paths. This step I did for both project and target
8) Added Box2d to the cocos2d libs
Mac update:
autoscaling / no-scaling support added:

How about some notifications for openGLView reshapes and fullScreen toggle?
It will be usefull to update position of some Menus, HUD, etc in noScaleMode.

@iPsi There are already a few notifications in place that can help you:
NSWindowDidResizeNotification: If you have resizing of your NSWindow enabled, then this notification will be posted. Also, the MacGLView has it's Autoresizing Masks set to mirror the size of the window.MacGLView to posts notifications when it is resized, using [glView setPostsFrameChangedNotifications:YES], then subscribe to the NSViewFrameDidChangeNotification. There is also a similar notification for bounds changing.@liquidfire
Thanks a lot! I don't know UIKit/AppKit and never thought about it's notifications. It's definitly time to study them! ;)
