[android] The Completest Cocos2d-x Tutorial & Guide List

I'm developing a game using Cocos2d-x to Android and iPhone. At the beggining, I had a lot of problems to start using this library, so, in this question, I want to collect all basic, medium and expert tutorials because there are a lot of info questions doing the same mistakes. When I Started, I had to look a lot in many sites using my friend Google. Hope this helps people start now. All in c++.

Beginners

  • Official wiki links
  • How to start in multi-platform HERE The best one. Amazing, XCODE (MAC) and ECLIPSE (LINUX) tutorial.
  • A simple guide to Start
  • Another multi-platform Guide

TIPS

  • Audio format Supported
  • If you use Linux, please, don't use cocos2d-android or cocos2d-android-1, is decreated. Try to use cocos2d-x

  • If you use Linux, and don't know how to use native code, Take a look in development

  • CCLOG("String"); Don't work on Eclipse log cat, but CCLog do it!

  • Max textures size/resolution Here

  • Iphone use RETINA to draw textures in HD, but don't are used on Android. My solution is use RETINA on iphone, and setscale compiling only in Android. Multi-resolution Wiki. In Example:

    #if (CC_TARGET_PLATFORM == CC_PLATFORM_ANDROID)
    this->setObjectScale(1);
    #endif  // CC_PLATFORM_IOS
  • Your first example must be the official on the WIKI
