Cocos2D for the Web

Today I’m releasing version 0.1 of Cocos2D JavaScript. This is the first release and there will be many more to come.

You can grab it from the downloads section and checkout the tutorials to get started.

Upgrading Your Project

If you’ve been using the older version available via github here are some notable changes.

• Uses Node.js to serve and compile code (precompiled binaries included)
• No longer requires Python to be installed
• Installed system wide so you don’t need to include Cocos2D’s code in your project
• @super keyword has been removed. (use Foo.superclass.bar.call(this) instead).
• Renamed make.js and config.js files to make.json and config.json respectively.

To upgrade your project follow these steps.

• First install v0.1 by following the instructions in the README.md file.
• Rename your make.js and if you have one, your config.js files to make.json and config.json
• Replace all references to @super with ClassName.superclass.functionName.apply(this, arguments). Where ClassName should be the name of your class and functionName should be the name of the function.
• Completely delete the cocos2d folder in your project.
• Delete the ./cocos and ./cocos.bat scripts in the root of your project
• Test your project by running cocos server
