Axmol Engine
A Multi-platform Engine for Desktop, XBOX (UWP) and Mobile games. (A fork of Cocos2d-x-4.0)
⚠️⚠️⚠️ NOTICE ⚠️⚠️⚠️
This branch still at an early develop phase, and the main goals is:
- OpenGL3/GLES3 support
- The GLES2 support was dropped
- Mesh instancing draw support
- Use glslcc as shader workflow, write shader by ESSL310, build to target platforms: MSL for Apple(macOS/iOS/tvOS), ESSL300 for Android, ANGLE, GLSL330 for Desktop GL
- Improve ProgramManager for loading custom shader program more easy
- Improve text rendering, SDF outline support
- Improve FileStream, handle large 4GB+ files
- Many other improvements: refer to #1279

New MediaPlayer
The new ui::MediaPlayer
(renamed from ui::VideoPlayer
) render video as Texture2D with designed corss-platform MediaEngine, the MediaEngine inspired from microsoft
media foundation IMFMediaEngine
, the MediaPlayer
support all platforms which axmol engine does.
