  • examples/advanced/particle.md - Particle effects
  • examples/tools/build-system.md - CMake and build configuration
  • examples/tools/deployment.md - Platform-specific deployment

3. Follow the specific instructions in that example file for syntax, structure, and best practices

Each example file contains:

  • Instructions: Overview and usage guidelines
  • Syntax: API syntax and parameters
  • Examples: Complete code examples with explanations
  • Reference: Links to official documentation

4. Generate C++ code following Cocos2d-x v4 conventions:

  • Use USING_NS_CC; for namespace
  • Use CREATE_FUNC() macro for create functions
  • Follow Cocos2d-x naming conventions
  • Include proper error handling
  • Use smart pointers where appropriate

5. Reference the official documentation:

  • Official manual: https://docs.cocos.com/cocos2d-x/v4/manual/zh/
  • API reference: Check api/ directory for detailed API documentation
  • Examples: Check examples/ directory for code examples

6. Use templates when creating new projects:

  • templates/project-structure.md - Standard project structure
  • templates/cmake-config.md - CMake configuration examples

Doc mapping (one-to-one with official documentation)

  • See examples and API files → https://docs.cocos.com/cocos2d-x/v4/manual/zh/

Core Concepts

Important Notes

1. Version: This skill covers Cocos2d-x v4 specifically 2. Language: C++ is the primary development language 3. Build System: CMake is required for building projects 4. Platform: Ensure platform-specific dependencies are installed 5. Examples: All code examples use C++ syntax 6. Memory Management: Cocos2d-x uses reference counting, be careful with retain/release cycles 7. Coordinate System: Uses OpenGL-style coordinates (origin at bottom-left) 8. Thread Safety: Most Cocos2d-x operations must be performed on the main thread

能力边界

✅ 适用场景

  • 当你需要使用此技能对应的技术栈时
  • 当项目需要遵循最佳实践时
  • 当需要快速上手或深入理解核心概念时

⚠️ 需要注意

  • 复杂业务逻辑需要结合具体场景调整
