Chapter 1. Hello World – A Cross-platform Game

The legend says that the first working script you should do when learning a new language is the classic Hello World printed somewhere on the screen.

This chapter will guide you through the creation of a cross-platform Hello World example, covering these concepts:

  • The theory behind the creation of cross platform games
  • Cocos2d-JS installation and setup
  • A Cocos2d-JS project blueprint
  • Scenes, Layers, and Sprites
  • Preloading images
  • Adding images
  • Removing images

By the end of the chapter, you will be able to create a template project to create any kind of Cocos2d-JS cross-platform game that is capable of running on various devices at different resolutions.
