Learning cocos2d

• Go to the online tutorials / documentation page: http://python.cocos2d.org/doc.html

  You will find:

  • the Programming Guide

  • the API Reference

  • some tutorial videos

  The tutorials are included in the source package.

• Lot of miniprograms that demonstrates the available objects and possible actions. There are a great starting point while learning and experimenting with cocos: you find a sample with the object that interest you exercising the features that you need, read the code, run, modify and re-run to experiment.

  Also, handy to know what is available in cocos: run all the tests and by looking at the code you know what to look at in the docs.

  You can find them at the test directory in the source distribution. After unpacking, to run the tests you can do:

  $ cd test
  $ python test_*.py

• More complex sample programs

  You can find it in the samples directory in the source distribution, and the most complex in subdirectories there, including a presentation done with Cocos himself.

  After unpacking, to run the samples you can do:

  $ cd samples
  $ python sample_name.py
