Implement Cocos2D into UIKit project?

Objective Zero · 09-05-2011, 09:50 PM

Hey,

I know this isn't a Cocos2D forum but I think it is a rather easy and general question so I was hoping someone had an answer to this so, I need to implement Cocos2d into my already existing Xcode project. I am going to be using Cocos2d in just one of my views and that's it. Does anyone know how to implement it correctly? At this point I have downloaded the latest version, but I am not sure what to do from here.

Thanks!

It's been a while since I've looked at cocos, but you should be able to just use the attachInView: method of the CCDirector, and then go from there.

Thanks for the info, but I am currently just trying to literally find out which files to drag into my project and from where to implement Cocos2d.

iphone - 'Embed' cocos2D in UIKit app - Stack Overflow

the concept is to use EAGLView (that is a View that contain cocos2d stuff).

Thanks for the info dany_dev so once I download the whole cocos2d download from their site. Which files do I drag into my app? There are hundreds and I am not sure which to drag in.

You'll probably just need to drag the entire "cocos2d" folder into your project. This will be the folder with all of the base cocos files.

if you want to use cocos2d, you need the entire framework

I wish they made it easier, there is like 15 different folder of all base cocos2d files and I have to drag them all from finder because of this stupid Xcode 4 thing. I wish you could just drag group among Xcode projects, I guess that is what you mean by framework @dany_dev.

@smithdale and @dany_dev

I downloaded the latest Cocos2d and I see a group in the Xcode project cocos2d-ios that is named cocos2d. I copied that group in (from finder) and I get FontManager.h not found in CCTexture2D.m
What other files do I need?

Ok so I tried pretty much everything. I cleaned project, restarted Xcode, downloaded a fresh Cocos2D folder from the site. I drag the folders "cocos2d", "CocosDenshion", and "FontLabel" to my project while clicking add to destination group folder but I get a Mach-O-Linker warning or something like failed build in usr/bin.

Why am I having such a hard time with this ****?
