## When to use this skill Use this skill whenever the user wants to: - Create Cocos2d-x v4 games or applications - Learn Cocos2d-x v4 core concepts (Node, Sprite, Scene, Action) - Set up Cocos2d-x v4 development environment - Work with sprites, textures, animations, and labels - Implement scene management and node lifecycle - Handle input events (touch, mouse, keyboard) - Use physics engine (Box2D) and collision detection - Implement rendering pipeline, shaders, and particle systems - Build and deploy games for multiple platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) - Use CMake build system and command-line tools - Migrate from older Cocos2d-x versions - Extend engine with custom rendering and script bindings ## How to use this skill To work with Cocos2d-x v4: 1. **Identify the topic** from the user's request: - Engine overview/了解引擎 → `examples/getting-started/about-engine.md` - Quick start/快速上手 → `examples/getting-started/quick-start.md` - Installation/安装配置 → `examples/getting-started/installation.md` - Node and Scene/节点和场景 → `examples/core/node-scene.md` - Sprite/精灵 → `examples/core/sprite.md` - Texture/纹理 → `examples/core/texture.md` - Animation/动画 → `examples/core/animation.md` - Action/动作 → `examples/core/action.md` - Label/标签 → `examples/core/label.md` - Scene management/场景管理 → `examples/core/scene.md` -

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 ### Node System - **Node**: Base class for all display objects - **Scene**: Root node of the scene graph - **Sprite**: Image display node - **Label**: Text display node - **Node hierarchy**: Parent-child relationships ### Coordinate System - Origin at bottom-left (OpenGL style) - Anchor point for positioning - Local and world coordinates ### Action System - **Action**: Base class for node transformations - **Sequence**: Chain multiple actions - **Spawn**: Run actions simultaneously - **Repeat**: Repeat actions multiple times - **Ease**: Apply easing functions ### Scene Management - Scene transitions - Scene lifecycle (onEnter, onExit) - Director for scene management ### Input Handling - Touch events (single and multi-touch) - Mouse events - Keyboard events - Event dispatcher system ## Platform Support Cocos2d-x v4 supports: - **Desktop**: Windows, macOS, Linux - **Mobile**: Android, iOS -
