axcho / ccbox2d Goto Github PK

I just installed CCBox2d and followed the directions to install the XCode4 template. Then I attempted to create a new project with the template via XCode ( v4.6 ) and it deleted everything in my target folder.

Steps:

1. Install template in ~/Library/Apple/Developer/XCode/Templates/cocos2d
2. Go to XCode, select File->New->New Project.
3. Selected "cocos2d_ccbox2d" click next
4. The panel comes up with the title "Choose options for your project:" There is nothing in the area under it. See image.
   
   But you can click next.
5. Click Next and a Standard Navigation Panel comes up. There is no place to enter a name.
6. If you click OK, XCode ginds for a while and then quits/crashes.

If you then go to the directory you picked, you will find only an XCode project called "Development.something". I can't remember exactly and I don't want to reproduce it.

But everything that was in that directory is gone.

Files folders everything. For me that was my Development folder. Thank God for offsite source control and backing up, though I did lose a mornings work.

This project has a lot of potential and I am excited to use it. However, there are two major issues.

1. Not built for cocos2d 2.x. I have a fork where I've begun the changes and for the most part it's not too difficult to port, however, the debug drawing is broken and I'm still an Open GL novice so fixing that will take more time.
2. The API is somewhat inscrutable. Just creating a simple CCBodySprite and adding it to a layer has proven to be a frustrating process. For example this seemingly simple code does not work:

CCBodySprite *sprite = [CCBodySprite spriteWithFile:@"foo.png"];
sprite.worldLayer = self;
[sprite addShape:[CCShape circleWithCenter:ccp(240, 160) radius:16]];
[self addChild:sprite];

Because the body is never created. So, I tried this:

CCBodySprite *sprite = [CCBodySprite spriteWithFile:@"foo.png"];
    b2BodyDef bodyDef;
    bodyDef.type = b2_dynamicBody;
    bodyDef.allowSleep = true;
    bodyDef.awake = true;
    bodyDef.userData = sprite;
    sprite.worldLayer = self;
    // have to include the CCBox2dPrivate.h header to access world property
    // which is really confusing because AFAICT this is the only way to get
    // it to create a body
    [sprite configureSpriteForWorld:self.world bodyDef:bodyDef];
    [sprite addShape:[CCShape circleWithCenter:ccp(240, 160) radius:16]];
    sprite.position = ccp(p.x, p.y);
    [self addChild:sprite];

Which kind of works, but the position if the sprite is always 0, 0 no matter what the postion property is set to. Am I missing something obvious? Can you provide a simple example of how to create a CCBodySprite that works as expected?

Any help would be appreciated. Like I said, this project seems like it will be awesome once some of it is demystified. Thanks so much for open sourcing it!

If you do a download of the current repository it won't build because the file "CCBox2D-Prefix.pch" is missing.

Also CCWorldLayer.h line 67 has a typo.

-(UInt16) collisionTypeBits:(NSSArray*)collisionTypes;

NSSArray has too many Ses.

I'm trying to do a build and test for the Mac, like axcho asked, but haven't gotten past this yet.

Just found this: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1765875/79584589.png

Something like third image can be used as official icon for CCBox2D.
Woot? =)
