Joystick download

Published on January 22, 2010 in cocos2d, joystick and LevelSVG. 1 Comment

LevelSVG is using a modified version of cocos2d‘s Joystick implementation.

The main differences are:

  • It supports a Jump button
  • It renders the Joystick (pad and button)

This implementation is not yet committed in the cocos2d repository since it has some hardcoded values, and is focused on games that uses stick + button. The cococs2d’s version is focused on dual stick games.

In case you are interested in it, you can download it from here: joystick-20100122.tar

levelSVG-iconLevelSVG is an “editor” that eases the building of platform or labyrinth games.

LevelSVG is not an editor per-se. Instead it parses files generated by Inkscape to create  cocos2d / box2d worlds.

  • Includes product updates and product support for 6 months
  • $99 for those who buy (or have already bought) any of the Sapus Tongue Source Code products (Premium, Updates, Basic).

LevelSVG map editor

My second game will be a platform game.
One of the most time-consuming tasks in developing platform games is creating good level maps. Therefore, I have put a lot of effort in trying to ease this task by creating an SVG parser that supports:
  • Basic physics objects like: rect, circle, lines, bezier paths and nested transformations
  • The possibility to edit physics properties like: density, friction, restitution and isSensor
  • The possibility to link SVG elements with pre-defined physics objects and cocos2d sprites
  • Collision detection logic between these elements
  • Jump logic (the hero only jumps when touching the ground)
  • Movement logic (tilt, d-pad)

The source code of this level “editor” will be available for purchase in a few days.
