Axmol cpp-tests

cpp-tests may be the best tutorial for Axmol Engine users. It's a demonstration of all the functionalities of the engine, all included in the source code.

Here is how it works

All the source code is available, so anyone can open the files and check how it's done. Compile it, run it, see how things work, and then read the code to figure out how things are done. It's all in there.

Cocos2d-x tutorials

Having a lot of Cocos2d-x tutorals may be of a great help but also can bring confusion. Please be aware there is a lot of deprecations for older Cocos2d-x versions. Only v3 and v4 may be relevant for Axmol Engine. For extra help about deprecated methods, please check Migration Guide - Renamed Types.
