Destructible ground is a staple feature of many games, and if you’ve ever wondered how it’s done here’s a great example showing created using Cocos2D.
Jean-Phillipe Sarda has created a source code example using Cocos2D where he uses the CCMutableTexture class created by Lam Pham (a Cocos2D texture class allowing you to easily modify individual pixels).
Here’s a video showing the code in action:
You can find the example on Github here.
You can find an in-depth writeup on the Cocos2D blog explaining the steps taken to improve performance.
A great starting point if you’re interested in creating a destructible environment in your Cocos2D games.
