About this doc

This is a living doc and is intended to be modified!

Conversion plan

The idea of this doc is to set a minimal conversion guide to pass from the old retain - release - autorelease in cocos2d-x to a more modern, stable and cross-platform shared_ptr, auto_ptr or weak_ptr. The latter will be more friendly to the developer and also similar to what ARC provides in Objective-C

Simple case

You should not use OOP (in javascript)

I've been coding javascript for some time now, including interacting with several javascript VMs.

Having said that, this is just a rant about what I think could be a good approach on how to actually do things in javascript. This after looking at how other projects are dealing with it, my personal experience and finally "getting" the way javascript was meant to be used (if there's such a thing). I do not consider myself an expert in javascript, so take whatever you read here with a grain of salt and think of it as just my personal experience and of course, I'll be happy to hear what you know or your best practices around it.

The real purpose for this post is to initiate a discussion about the subject of not really using OOP when dealing with javascript, and the good way to design and think about

	if ARGV.size < 3

	end_no = ARGV[1].to_i
	output_dir = ARGV[2]

	cb (proxy [ClickListener] []
	;;; for this object, we only care about 'clicked'
	(clicked [evt x y] (println "clicked at " x y evt)))]
	(update! screen :renderer (stage) :camera (orthographic))
	;;; add a couple of entities to the screen. We could've used a table here, but

	// This is the code that initializes vungle
