Customize Cocos Framework & Simulator

Overview

The following section provides guidance on how to create and include custom Cocos Framework & Simulator for your games.

Version Requirement

Customizing Cocos Framework requires Cocos Framework v3.7 or higher.

The directories below are based on v3.7 and the installation of Cocos Framework.

How to customize Cocos Framework

Customizing Cocos Framework is actually modifying its source codes. After the installation of Cocos Framework, you can customize the framework with IDE or code editors.

• On Mac, you can open projects /Applications/Cocos/frameworks/cocos2d-x-v3.7/build/CocosFramework.xcodeproj with XCode. Then you need to modify and debug codes.
• On Windows, you can open projects [installation directory]/frameworks/cocos2d-x-v3.7/build/CocosFramework.sln with Visual Studio. Then you need to modify and debug codes.

How to release the custom Cocos Framework

Build a new precompiled library

There is a scripting tool in Cocos Framework to compile source codes to precompiled library: frameworks/cocos2d-x-v3.7/tools/framework-compile/gen_cocos_libs.py.

The following is a detailed description of how to use this scripting tool:

usage: gen_cocos_libs.py [-h] [-c] [-all] [--win] [--mac] [--ios] [--android]
 [--dis-strip] [--vs VS_VERSION] [--app-abi APP_ABI]

 -h, 

 -c

 -all  

 --win 

 --mac 

 --ios 

 --android 

 --dis-strip, --disable-strip  
 --vs VS_VERSION   

 --app-abi APP_ABI

For example:

1. python gen_cocos_libs.py -c -all : Clear previous precompiled library and compile all platforms.
2. python gen_cocos_libs.py --win --vs 2015 : Compile Win32 platform with Visual Studio 2015.

Precompiled library will be created in the following directory frameworks/cocos2d-x-v3.7/prebuilt. Include the new precompiled library to game projects.

*Note To customize Cocos Framework, you need to modify source codes and maintain project files. Any problem in the custom codes or projects will lead to a failure in implementing compiling tools.*

Create a new simulator

There is a scripting tool in Cocos Framework to compile source codes to precompiled library: frameworks/cocos2d-x-v3.7/tools/framework-compile/gen_cocos_simulator.py。

The following is a detailed description of how to use this scripting tool:

usage: gen_cocos_simulator.py [-h] [-c] [-m {debug,release}] [-o OUT_DIR] -p
  {ios,mac,android,win32,all} [--vs VS_VERSION]


-h, --help

-c, --clean  

-m {debug,release}, --mode {debug,release}  

-o OUT_DIR, 

-p {ios,mac,android,win32,all}

--vs VS_VERSION   指定使用的 Visual Studio 版本。不指定的话，自动查找可用版本。

For example:

1. python gen_cocos_simulator.py -c -p all : Clear previous simulators and compile all platforms.
2. python gen_cocos_libs.py -p win32 --vs 2015 : Compile Win32 simulator with Visual Studio 2015.

Integrate custom simulator

Copy and replace the files under “ installation directory/Cocos/cocos-simulator-bin “. Once you have done it, you can use the custom simulator.

*Note Simulator is mainly used to preview projects. If you want to use a new simulator, you need to replace the current used simulator with the new one.*
