## What it is
Cocos2D-ObjC is a 2D game engine framework for building games and graphical interactive applications on iOS, Mac, and tvOS using Objective-C and Swift. It provides scene management, sprites, actions, particle systems, tilemaps, and physics integration via Chipmunk, rendering with OpenGL ES 2.0 or Metal.

## Use cases
- build a 2d game for ios in objective-c
- make a sprite-based game with scene transitions
- add particle effects and tilemaps to a mac game
- create a tvos game with retina support
- integrate chipmunk physics into a 2d game
- build a 2d game using metal rendering

## When to choose
- you are building a 2D game or interactive demo for iOS, macOS, or tvOS
- you prefer Objective-C or Swift over Python or C++ game engines
- you want a lightweight, modular engine with sprites, actions, and tilemap support

## When to avoid
- you need 3D rendering or a modern cross-platform engine
- you want actively developed tooling - the project recommends the Fiber2D rewrite for pure Swift cross-platform work
- you target platforms beyond Apple's ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
