## How to run tests
|
|
|
|
### Cocos Console
|
|
|
|
You can use [Cocos Console](www.cocos2d-x.org/wiki/Cocos2d-console) command line tool to run the test cases on almost all supported platforms.
|
|
|
|
In console application:
|
|
```
|
|
// Enter cpp test folder
|
|
cd tests/cpp-tests
|
|
// Or enter js test folder
|
|
cd tests/js-tests
|
|
// Or enter lua test folder
|
|
cd tests/lua-tests
|
|
|
|
// Compile or run test case
|
|
cocos compile -p ios|mac|android|win32|win8_1|metro|web -m debug|release
|
|
cocos run -p ios|mac|android|win32|win8_1|metro|web -m debug|release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to run cpp test in release mode on Android, you can use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cocos run -p android -m release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Mac OSX & iOS
|
|
You can run the samples by:
|
|
|
|
* Open __cocos2d-x/build__ folder, open __cocos2d_test.xcodeproj__
|
|
* Select `cpp-tests`, `lua-tests`, `js-tests` for __iOS__ or __OS X__ target in scheme toolbar
|
|
* Click __run__ button
|
|
|
|
### Android
|
|
You can run the samples by either using the command-line or Eclipse:
|
|
|
|
**Using command line:**
|
|
Perform the following steps:
|
|
|
|
$ 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:**
|
|
Perform the following steps:
|
|
|
|
$ cd cocos2d-x
|
|
$ ./setup.py
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ ./android-build.py cpp-empty-test -p 10
|
|
|
|
Next:
|
|
|
|
* 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
|
|
You can run the samples by:
|
|
|
|
* For win32 project, enter __cocos2d-x/build__, and open __cocos2d-win32.sln__
|
|
* For win 8.1 project, enter __cocos2d-x/build__, and open __cocos2d-win8.1-universal.sln__
|
|
* For win 10 project, enter __cocos2d-x/build__, and open __cocos2d-win10.sln__
|
|
* Select running target
|
|
* Click run button
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
You can run the samples by:
|
|
|
|
$ cd cocos2d-x/build
|
|
$ ./install-deps-linux.sh
|
|
$ cd ../..
|
|
|
|
Next:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ cmake ../cocos2d-x
|
|
$ make -j4
|
|
|
|
Then run:
|
|
|
|
$ cd bin/cpp-empty-test
|
|
$ ./cpp-empty-test
|
|
|
|
## How to start a new game
|
|
Use the __cocos__ console app to create a new game:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cocos new -l cpp|js|lua MyNewGame
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
* add Tizen support
|
|
* improve Android performance issue
|

|
|
## The main features in detail of Cocos2d-x v3.12
|
|
|
|
### VR support
|
|
|
|
TBD
|
|
|
|
### Tizen support
|
|
|
|
TBD
|
|
|
|
### improve Android performance
|
|
|
|
We found cocos2d-x has performance on some Android devices. It is because cocos2d-x creates a big map buffer by default and fill the map buffer with actual data, which is less then map buffer size. On some Android devices, it will transfer as many data as the map buffer size which causes performance issue.
|
|
|
|
More detail information and discussion can refer to [the issue](https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/issues/15652).
|
|
|
|
### improve web engine performance in WebGL mode
|
|
|
|
Web engine performance in WebGL mode is obviously improved in this version. The rendering performance, cpu usage and memory usage are optimized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### use clang on Android
|
|
|
|
As [google deprecated gcc since NDK r11](https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/revision_history.html), so cocos2d-x changes to use clang too. And we suggest using latest NDK version if possible.
|
|
|
