### Android

You can run the samples...

**Using command line:**

    $ cd cocos2d-x
    $ ./setup.py
    $ cd build
    $ ./android-build.py cpp-empty-test -p 10
    $ adb install cocos2d-x/tests/cpp-empty-test/proj.android/bin/CppEmptyTest-debug.apk

Then click item on Android device to run tests. Available value of `-p` is the API level, cocos2d-x supports from level 10.

**Using Eclipse:**

    $ cd cocos2d-x
    $ ./setup.py
    $ cd build
    $ ./android-build.py cpp-empty-test -p 10

Then

* Import cocos2d-x Android project into Eclipse, the path used to import is `cocos/2d/platform/android`
* Import `cpp-empty-test` Android project into Eclipse, the path used to import is `tests/cpp-empty-test/proj.android`
* Build `cpp-empty-test` Android project and run

### Windows

* Enter `cocos2d-x/build`, and open `cocos2d-win32.vs2012.sln`
* Select `cpp-empty-test` as running target
* Click run button


### Linux

# v3.5beta0

## Highlights of v3.5beta0
## Features in detail

### 3D Particles

It allows to import particles from Particle Universe (http://www.fxpression.com). The usage of particles is as follow,

Option 1, create 3D particle with particle (.pu) file and material file

```c++
auto rootps = PUParticleSystem3D::create("lineStreak.pu", "pu_mediapack_01.material");
addChild(rootps);
rootps->startParticleSystem();
```

Option 2, you can also create 3d particle with particle (.pu) file only, it will load all the material files in the material path
```c++
auto rootps = PUParticleSystem3D::create("advancedLodSystem.pu");
addChild(rootps);
rootps->startParticleSystem();
```
