Cocos2D ported to JavaScript
The much beloved Cocos2D for iPhone is making it’s way to the web in the form of a JavaScript port. If you’re not familiar with this engine, here’s a quick description:
Cocos2d-javascript is a 2D game/graphics engine based on cocos2d-iphone but designed to run in the web browser. It uses the latest features available in HTML 5 allowing real-time rendering of 2D graphics without the need for plug-ins such as Adobe Flash.
While HTML 5 is still new and not fully supported across all browsers it won’t be long before the vast majority of web users are able to enjoy all that it offers. When this time comes cocos2d-javascript will be an excellent way to develop games and applications.
This is great news for the future of non-flash games on the web — and for those making cross-platform games via JavaScript. This is even better news for the countless number of developers who have never heard of Cocos2D but are struggling with the Javascript tools currently out there for game development on the web.
