This article provides a step‑by‑step tutorial on building a match‑3 (candy‑crush style) game, covering basic rules, core matching and removal algorithms in JavaScript, and a complete implementation in Cocos Creator with grid layout, touch handling, swap animation, piece falling, and refill logic.
This guide details practical performance‑optimization techniques for Cocos‑based WeChat mini‑games, covering scene and prefab optimizations, asset compression, code size reduction, garbage‑collection handling, mask usage, plugin assistance, code‑level improvements, and a suite of testing tools to measure and verify the gains.
This article explains two techniques for accurate polygon click detection in Cocos—pixel‑alpha testing and PolygonCollider2D with ray‑casting—and describes a bit‑mask based Sudoku solver that uses depth‑first search and solution counting to ensure puzzle uniqueness and improve performance.
This article details the end‑to‑end development of Douyin's National Day mini‑game, covering the Lynx + Cocos tech stack, core Cocos concepts such as ECS, node hierarchy, lifecycle, a step‑by‑step walkthrough of the star‑catcher demo code, background looping strategies, checkpoint transitions, character Spine animation, resource loading pipelines, custom bitmap fonts, and a series of performance optimizations for mobile deployment.
Learn how to achieve seamless multi‑device UI adaptation in Cocos by understanding design versus screen resolution, using Fit Height/Width modes, leveraging Widget components for edge alignment, and applying 9‑slice slicing to option backgrounds, all without cumbersome CSS or extensive code.
This guide walks you through the core source files of the popular “Big Watermelon” Cocos game, explains its simple click‑collision‑score‑display flow, and shows concrete code snippets for altering the scoring logic or other gameplay tweaks, while hinting at algorithmic optimization.
This article explains how the Liulishuo team leveraged the Cocos game engine to render video directly, managed OpenGL contexts across multiple threads, and built a reusable audio‑video processing pipeline for Android, detailing challenges, design decisions, and implementation solutions.
