cocos2d-js

Cocos2d-JS provides a console tool that makes the development of CH5 and JSB application more simpler and much convenient. You can use it to create a new project, publish it to android, iOS, Mac OS or web, and it's very easy to use.

##Setup

First step, you need to setup before using this tool. Please clone Cocos2d-JS repository and update all submodule. Open console in Cocos2d-JS folder, then just run ./setup.py on console. You may need to provide your NDK, Android SDK and ANT's path during the setup. Note that this tool is developed with python, so you will need python (32bit) 2.7.5 or later installed on your machine (but it doesn't support Python3).

Some useful links:

  • Android SDK

  • NDK

  • Ant binary release

    • Download Ant.
    • Uncompress the downloaded file into a directory.
    • Set environmental variables JAVA_HOME to your Java environment, ANT_HOME to the directory you uncompressed Ant to, and add ${ANT_HOME}/bin (Unix) or %ANT_HOME%/bin (Windows) to your PATH.
    // Example: Execute in console or add into .bash_profile(Mac)
    export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.7.0_51
    export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin
    

##Usage
