Cocos2d-x basics

imagemagick is a free console software to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images.

Sometimes in your game you’ll have to scroll the map when your character moves to some new position. For some games the scrolling creates a really significant part of user experience; I’d recommend to read this article just to understand how important it is.

In one of the first articles, I’ve recommended to remove from the default AppDelegate.cpp file everything related to work with multiple screen resolutions.

If you are creating some really large project like a strategy game or a platformer you’ll need some tool to design levels. And this tool is probably Tiled - a universal open source level editor.

The Cocos2d developers wanted the internal part of the game look like theater or movie: there is [the director(https://docs.cocos2d-x.org/api-ref/cplusplus/v4x/d7/df3/classcocos2d_1_1_director.html)] and some scenes. The director orders scenes to change one another.
