Hello all. Not sure where tutorials go on Gamedev.net these days, so I'm going to go ahead and post it here, please feel free to move this is I picked wrong.
Anyways, I've started another ongoing tutorial series that is currently a WIP. This one covers Cocos2d-x using C++. It looks at the newest version (3.3beta as of writing), which is a version of Cocos2d-x that has been greatly refactored to be more C++'ish and less Objective-C'ish. Unfortunately this move makes a lot of the material out there outdated or simply wrong, I hope to fix that.
The tutorial currently consists of:
Installation, Creating a Project and Hello World
Basic Sprites, Position, Parenting and Coordinate Systems
Handling Mouse and Touch Events
There is also a Table of Contents.
The series is ongoing. I try to stick to modern C++ as much as possible, although it's a language I've not used a ton, so if you spot something stupid, that's probably why. :) Compared to some of my prior tutorial series, each individual post is a bit longer than normal, each about the same as a chapter from a book. For example, when I converted the first post into a PDF, it was 30 pages in length! Assuming a certain amount of popularity, I intend to keep covering Cocos2d-x until I've covered all the major aspects.
As always, any feedback, comments, questions and suggestions appreciated.
