## 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
## The main features in detail of Cocos2d-x v3.12
|
|
|
|
### VR support
|
|
VR Support is now available! Currently there is support for __Google Cardboard__, __Oculus Rift__, __Samsung Gear__ and __Deepoon E2__. Also provided is a *generic* __VR__ renderer to help with testing. It should not be used to trust deploying a production __VR__ game. In usual Cocos2d-x fashion it is very easy to get started with an easy to understand API. Read our chapter in the [Programmers Guide](http://cocos2d-x.org/docs/programmers-guide/vr/index.html) for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Tizen support
|
|
You can now develop for the __Tizen__ mobile platform. The latest __2.4__ SDK is supported. Tizen development uses it's own uniqie IDE as well as a simulator for testing applications. For setup instructions please read our [documentation](http://cocos2d-x.org/docs/installation/Tizen/).
|
|
|
|
### Improve Android performance
|
|
|
|
Thank you to our users for helping diagnose performance issues on some Android devices. It is because Cocos2d-x creates a big map buffer by default and fills the map buffer with actual data, which is less than the map buffer size. On some Android devices, it will transfer as much 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
|
|
|
|
The web engine is receiving a big performance upgrade. The WebGL renderer have been completely refactored from the ground up. This means improved rendering and a reduced memory footprint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Use clang on Android
|
|
[Google deprecated gcc starting in NDK r11](https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/revision_history.html), Cocos2d-x now uses clang. We suggest using the NDK r11c.
|
|
|
|
We found an issue that, if using NDKr 10c + clang, then `Node::enumerateChildren()` will crash on Android.
