Day #8

I like to use this analogy. Imagine your goal is to break into pieces a massive stone or boulder or whatever large piece of rock. Surely many questions will rise, mainly anyone probably will say “Where I do start?”

Well... it can’t be brought down more than this... start hitting it!

So, I have a giant rock in front of me, I have my hammer, my gloves, boots, etc. I can only see part of the mountain, but my goal is to shatter it completely.

The landscape could be exaggerated, but the challenge is the same. At first sight, could be intimidating, but is part of the process. Today my task is to set up some common and free tools that I know absolutely nothing about, to start developing the RPG mechanics of the mobile game.

After download is done, there is some configurations needed to create the project. Isn’t quite the point discuss those issues here, but I’ll give some credit to someone who explained it really well.

The build succeeded, and my first project in Cocos2d-x is born. But it looks like this... And I’m not entirely comfortable with all those warnings. I will have to review them later.

Cocos2D is a game engine that works with various devices from PCs to smart phones. This engine supports the vast majority of the features needed to make wonderful 2D-based games; it even includes a fully-featured physics engine. A core element of CoCos2D is the use of basic animation primitives called sprites. A sprite may be a simple 2D image, and can also be a container for other…
