Cocos2D-X Literatue

Question

I want to use Cocos2D-X for my games. So I want to read something about it. But besides poor official documentation I didn't find anything. Can you give some materials on Cocos2D-X.

If you no something better than Cocod2D-x for Android & iOS development, please let me know. Tnx!

UPD: I'm interested in 2D engines only – LosYear Feb 27 '12 at 16:58 — LosYear, Feb 27 '12 at 16:58

The Android programmers in my office chose LibGDX and AndEngine over Cocos2D-X because of the lack of documentation.

I use Cocos2D-iPhone however and do find it's useful, but I also have a lot of documentation for the iPhone version

With regard to comments, other, cross platform options are

Unity is a 3D games engine.
Corona is a 2D games engine that uses Lua.
~~The Particle SDK is a slightly more general cross-platform solution with a background in games.~~

_{Today we announced that Particle Code has been acquired by Appcelerator, makers of the Titanium cross-platform framework.}

_...

_{As of January 1, 2012, [Particle Code] will no longer officially support the [Particle SDK] platform.}

The Airplay SDK is a C++ framework that lets you develop in either Visual Studio or Xcode.

I want something crossplatform. That's why I've chosen Cocos. Do you know something like it? – LosYear Feb 27 '12 at 16:49

@LosYear. No, I realised you weren't the downvoter due to your reputation. AlexTSC - thanks. – James Webster Feb 27 '12 at 17:05
So, If I've got this right Particle SDK is free, but it'll be paid after release? But I'll have some discount – LosYear Feb 27 '12 at 17:19
Ah sorry, I'm outdated, Particle SDK has been taken over. I'll remove that link. – James Webster Feb 27 '12 at 17:21
Yeah it was taken over by titanium – James Webster Feb 27 '12 at 17:25
Is it hard to create game with native SDKs and support two branches? May be it'll be more easy and effective for game? Sure I'll have problems with updating it in app store and marketplace, but may be it will work more faster? – LosYear Feb 27 '12 at 17:31
What do you think about [Moai](http://getmoai.com/)? – LosYear Feb 27 '12 at 17:46
Tnx. I think, I've found my SDK. I can't Vote Up, that's why only "Thank You!" :) – LosYear Feb 28 '12 at 17:43
