Cocos2d-x is an open-source, cross-platform C++ framework for building 2D games and graphical applications, with Lua and JavaScript bindings. It runs on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, and HTML5, and serves as the foundation for Cocos Creator 1.x and 2.x.
Use cases
- build a 2d mobile game for ios and android
- cross-platform 2d game engine in c++
- make an html5 game with javascript
- 2d game engine with lua scripting and hot updates
- create interactive books or graphical demos
- 2d physics game using box2d or chipmunk
- skeletal animation game engine with spine support
When to choose
- you need a mature, lightweight 2D engine with C++, Lua, or JavaScript APIs
- you target mobile and desktop platforms plus HTML5 from one codebase
- you want hot-updatable games via Lua/JavaScript scripting
- you need built-in physics, tilemaps, particles, and skeletal animation
When to avoid
- you need a full 3D engine or modern editor-driven workflow (use Cocos Creator 3.x or Unity)
- you want a large plugin ecosystem or commercial-grade support guarantees
- you require a permissive license - the repo lists no standard license, so review terms before commercial use
