• Xcode 4.6 (for iOS or MaC)
• gcc 4.7 for Linux or Android. For Android ndk-r8e or newer is required.
• Visual studio 2012 (for Windows)

A subset of C++11 features are being used in cocos2d-x:

• std::function,including lambda objects for callBACks
• strongly typed enums,for most of the cocos2d-x enums and constants
• std::threadfor threading
• overridecontext keyword,for overriden methods

st std::function

• CallFunccan be created with anstd::function<void()>
• CallFuncNcan be created with anstd::function<void(Node*)>
• CallFuncNDandCallFuncOwere removed since it can be created with simulated withCallFuncNandCallFunc. See ActionsTest.cpp for more examples
@H_11_85@menuItemsupportsstd::function<void(Node*)>as callBACks

The old values can still be used,but are not deprecated.

Removed Objective-C patterns

clone() instead of copy()

clone()returns an autoreleased version of the copy.

copy()is no longer supported. If you use it,it will compile,but the code will crash.

Example:

1// v2.1
2CCMoveBy *action = (CCMoveBy*) move->copy();
3action->autorelease();
4
5// v3.0
6// No need to do autorelease,no need to do casTing.
7auto action = move->clone();

Singletons use geTinstance() and destroyInstance()

All singletons usegeTinstance()anddestroyInstance()(if applicablE) to get and destroy the instance.

Examples:

v2.1 methods are still available,but they were tagged as deprecated.

Misc API Changes

ccTypes.h

Removeccprefix for structure names in ccTypes.h,move global functions into static member functions,and move global constants into const static member variables.

Global functions changed example
