A simple turn-based strategy game created with cocos2d-x.

There are three primary categories in the game:

• The application layer This layer deals with the hardware and the operating system. Because the cocos2d-x engine has done most of the job for us, what we have to do is to encapsulate the details and provide suitable interfaces for other layers to use.
• The game logic layer This layer manages the game state and how it changes over time. It also manages actors, which are the entities in the game.
• The game view layer This layer presents the game state with graphics and sound. It also translates input into game commands that are sent to the game logic.

Actors are the game entities. An actor itself can't do much thing. Instead, an actor is a container that contains various actor components and scripts, which determines the behavior of the actor. For example, a unit actor may contains the following components/scripts:

• render component
• sound player component
• unit script

• \Classes (Contains most of the codes)
  • \BabyEngine (Contains codes that implements the general subsystems.)
  • \BabyWars (Contains game-specific codes such as actor components, events, controllers.)
• \proj.* (Contains platform-specific codes and project files. I'm developing the win32 version so I only use files in proj.win32.)
• (others) (These are the cocos2d-x files. Don't modify them.)

• Visual Studio 2013 community or above
• Windows that can be installed onto the VS :)
• cocos2d-x v3.8.1

1. Clone this repository to your local disk. I assume that you clone it to D:\BabyWars.
2. Create an empty cpp cocos2d-x project (in any directory you like).
3. Copy all the files in the project directory to D:\BabyWars WITHOUT overriding any existing files.
4. Launch VS and open D:\BabyWars\proj.win32\BabyWars.sln, then compile and run.

The (future) features of the game are inspired by the Game Boy Wars series (and as you can see, I directly took some game resources from Game Boy Wars 2. I'm doing this only because I can't draw any of them...).

The architecture of the game is inspired by the Game Coding Complete, 4th edition, written by Mike McShaffry and Davie "Rez" Graham. This is a great book (although somewhat hard for me). And here is the web page of the game "TeapotWars" in the book: TeapotWars. I've also exported the code to my github page: TeapotWars.
