How can I include cocos2d-x templates in Xcode?

Question

I\'m trying to follow this guide which is often quoted as being an excellent tutorial for Cocos2d-x.

The problem is that my downloads for Cocos2d-x (2.2 and 3.0 alpha0)

Answer 1

@marcg11's answer is valid for Cocos2d-x version 2.*. Script create_project.py doesn't exist in version 3.1 anymore. You should use "cocos" console instead.

E.g. In a terminal go to a folder you want to create your project in and run:

cocos new Cocos2DxFirstIosSample -l cpp -p org.cocos2d.Cocos2DxFirstIosSample

You may also specify other parameters:

$ cocos new --help
usage: cocos new [-h] [-p PACKAGE_NAME] -l {cpp,lua,js} [-d DIRECTORY]
                 [-t TEMPLATE_NAME] [--no-native]
                 [PROJECT_NAME]

Creates a new project

positional arguments:
  PROJECT_NAME          Set the project name

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PACKAGE_NAME, --package PACKAGE_NAME
                        Set a package name for project
  -l {cpp,lua,js}, --language {cpp,lua,js}
                        Major programming language you want to use, should be
                        [cpp | lua | js]
  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        Set generate project directory for project
  -t TEMPLATE_NAME, --template TEMPLATE_NAME
                        Set the template name you want create from

lua/js project arguments:
  --no-native           No native support.
