2013-10-29 22:44:55	icedp	hi
2013-10-29 22:45:11	icedp	is it true that JS binding work both on -x and -html5 ?
2013-10-29 23:09:30	--	PuffTheMagic_ is now known as PuffTheMagic
2013-10-30 00:23:24	riq_	icedp, yes
2013-10-30 00:24:13	riq_	if your JS game uses the cocos2d JS API, or the Chipmunk JS API, or the WebGL API it will run on top of cocos2d-x + JS bindings, or on top of cocos2d-html5
2013-10-30 00:27:10	icedp	is there any overhead for using JS on phones? I'm more interested in developing for android/ios, but cross platform with html looks cool
2013-10-30 00:28:22	icedp	or should I go C++ in this case?
2013-10-30 00:36:50	riq_	icedp, it depends on your game
2013-10-30 00:37:18	riq_	match-3 games, puzzle games, simple arcade games could run with cocos2d-x + JSB at 60 FPS on an iPhone 4S
2013-10-30 00:37:50	riq_	But super CPU intensive games might not be suitable for pure cocos2d-x + JS
2013-10-30 00:37:59	riq_	what I recommend is:
2013-10-30 00:38:05	icedp	but it's still much faster then html since rendering's being done through C++?
2013-10-30 00:38:35	riq_	  - Develop your game in JS... and profile it... if you main loop is slow, then write in C++ and add JS bindings to it
2013-10-30 00:38:42	riq_	yes, correct.
2013-10-30 00:39:04	riq_	All the rendering, cocos2d animations, even physics are run in C++
2013-10-30 00:39:29	riq_	you pay a small price when you call C++ calls from JS.
2013-10-30 00:39:46	icedp	oh so you can write only part of the game in C++?
2013-10-30 00:39:51	riq_	yes
2013-10-30 00:40:01	icedp	that makes a lot of sense
2013-10-30 00:40:12	riq_	you can write 100% in JS, or 90%, or 50%... or 0%... it depends on your game and needs
2013-10-30 00:41:26	icedp	or the 90% in JS and the other 90% in C++ ( :) )
2013-10-30 00:43:05	icedp	ok then let's say I'm going to write in cocos2d-x in JS, should I look API refence for Cocos2d-html5 on this page? http://www.cocos2d-x.org/wiki/Reference
2013-10-30 00:45:42	icedp	riq_: thank you for intro btw, very helpful
2013-10-30 00:47:33	riq_	yes, the cocos2d-html5 API is a good starting point
2013-10-30 00:47:47	riq_	icedp, also, take a look a the pre-built games that are bundled with cocos2d-x
2013-10-30 00:47:52	riq_	 - MoonWarriors
2013-10-30 00:47:57	riq_	 - CrystalCraze
2013-10-30 00:48:03	riq_	 - Wateremlon With Me
2013-10-30 00:48:08	riq_	 - Cocos Dragon
2013-10-30 00:48:34	riq_	Those 4 samples are written in JS, and they work on cocos2d-x + JS bindings, and on top of cocos2d-html5 as well
2013-10-30 00:53:13	icedp	formats seems different
2013-10-30 00:53:15	icedp	some has src
2013-10-30 00:53:22	icedp	some has Source and Platform folders
2013-10-30 00:57:21	icedp	whoa.. scenes? that means that was done by CocosStudio?
2013-10-30 00:57:41	riq_	icedp, yes... it is because we have been improving the code
2013-10-30 00:58:00	riq_	the the oldest example is Moon Warriors, a pure JS game
2013-10-30 00:58:21	riq_	then came Watermelon With me: Pure JS, with Chipmunk JS, plus a little of CocosBuilder
2013-10-30 00:58:30	riq_	then CocosDragon:  JS + CocosBuilder
2013-10-30 00:58:39	riq_	then CrystalCraze: JS + Cocosbuilder
2013-10-30 00:59:01	riq_	CocoStudio doesn't support JS yet
2013-10-30 01:01:02	icedp	CocosBuilder for iPhone and iPad it says
2013-10-30 01:01:07	icedp	I need Android as well
2013-10-30 01:01:14	icedp	I'm a little confused at this point
2013-10-30 01:01:24	riq_	CocosBuilder is a Mac editor, but generates code for cocos2d-x
2013-10-30 01:03:27	icedp	I'm on linux
2013-10-30 01:04:03	riq_	you can create JS games (cocos2d-x + JSB  / cocos2d-html5) without using any editor
2013-10-30 01:04:19	riq_	So, use Moon Warriors as an example
2013-10-30 01:04:31	icedp	JSB?
2013-10-30 01:04:32	riq_	it is a pure JS game (no data generated with editors)
2013-10-30 01:04:39	riq_	JSB = JavaScript Bindings
2013-10-30 01:04:43	icedp	oh ok
2013-10-30 01:23:44	icedp	I looked examples and it works on html
2013-10-30 01:23:53	icedp	but I can't compile -x
2013-10-30 01:24:01	icedp	../physics/CCPhysicsBody.cpp: In constructor ‘cocos2d::PhysicsBody::PhysicsBody()’:
2013-10-30 01:24:01	icedp	../physics/CCPhysicsBody.cpp:80:20: error: ‘UINT_MAX’ was not declared in this scope
2013-10-30 01:24:01	icedp	 , _categoryBitmask(UINT_MAX)
2013-10-30 01:34:08	riq_	are you using cocos2d-x v3.0 ?
2013-10-30 01:34:15	riq_	if so, yes, there is a bug
2013-10-30 01:34:25	riq_	it will be fixed in a few hours, or days
2013-10-30 01:38:04	icedp	git://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x.git
2013-10-30 01:38:23	icedp	this one
2013-10-30 01:40:49	icedp	recommend to switch to 3.0-alpha at least?
2013-10-30 01:50:57	icedp	on the other hand I should use 2.2
2013-10-30 01:51:09	icedp	since I want JS as well..
2013-10-30 01:55:03	riq_	both of them are good
2013-10-30 01:55:18	riq_	the only issue right now is that the v3.0 branch is not compiling for Linux
2013-10-30 01:58:11	--	n8o- is now known as n8o
2013-10-30 02:12:59	icedp	a little confused http://cocos2d-javascript.org/demos/box2d-physics this is not the same as cocos2d-x JBI?
2013-10-30 12:47:09	k1t	[04:20:12] icedp: No it is not the same
2013-10-30 12:47:09	k1t	[04:20:54] Aside from the Box2d library that codebase is totally different
2013-10-30 12:47:09	k1t	[04:24:26] its a different port
2013-10-30 12:47:09	k1t	[04:24:34] of teh codes
