News: Cocos2D-X Updated – Lua Script Support Added

I’ve mentioned Cocos2D-X previously – the C++ version of the popular Cocos2D game engine that allows for cross platform development on iOS, Android, and Windows complete with templates written for Xcode and Visual Studio.

Not too long ago I saw that Lua scripting was added into the build on Github along with a demo project showing a simple game scene. This has now been added to the official release.

Every function available within Cocos2D-X is available through the Lua scripting engine. You can check out the “HelloLua” project for syntax.

You can find the official news on this release here:
0.8.5 released! Lua support, xcode4 templates and more.

The homepage for Cocos2D-X can be found here.

No workarounds like Wax needed for Lua scripting anymore, the speed looks good so at the very least this is a great start for official Lua scripting within Cocos2d.

Tool: Simple Apple Style HTML And Xcode Documentation Generator (Open Source)

There are quite a few documentation tools out there. What’s really great about this tool is how easy it is to use for an Objective-C developer. The end result is that you can generate HTML documentation looks exactly like Apple’s own documentation complete with navigation along with fully indexable and browsable Xcode documentation.

The tool is Appledoc from Gentlebytes, and along with the source of the project they have provided extensive usage examples and documentation.

Here’s an example of the generated HTML documentation:
Sample appledoc documentation

The homepage can be found here:

The Github page can be found here:
https://github.com/tomaz/appledoc

Looks like a good solution for anyone wanting to create great looking documentation easily.

Tutorial: Building A Simple iOS TCP Socket Based App Client And Server

There are many guides, and libraries available to make HTTP communication between iOS apps/servers easier. I’ve found an excellent step-by-step tutorial that demonstrates how to use NSStream and CSStream to communicate from within your iOS apps to a TCP server.

The tutorial is from Cesare Rocchi and also demonstrates the basics of creating a custom TCP server using Python, and the Twisted networking engine along with how to make a simple interface for the client in Cocoa Touch..

Overall this is a great tutorial that guides you with detail through every step.

Open Source: Easy Base64 Encode/Decode And AES 256 Encryption Library

A pretty common problem is the need to communicate using AES encrpytion. While Base64 encoding is fairly easy to implement AES encryption/decryption with the CCCrypt library is not terribly straightforward with the iOS SDK and numerous tutorials have been written on the subject.

I found a very simple to use encryption library from Hiroshi Hashiguchi that wraps the CCCrypt librar and allows you to very easily perform Base64 Encoding/Decoding with AES 256 bit support.

You can find the library on Github here:
https://github.com/dev5tec/FBEncryptor

Included on the Github page are full instructions, and there is a sample project including demonstrating use of the library.
