Execution flow in cocos2d-X

Question

I am newbie in cocos2d-x.I want to know the execution flow.After searching many websites and forums,still I am unable to understand that from where actual execution starts.

Answer 1

All the classes are in the Classes directory of the project.

In the AppDelegate class you define the initial scene of the game through a Director instance. For example:

// create a scene. it's an autorelease object
auto scene = MainMenuScene::createScene();

// run
director->runWithScene(scene);

Then in the init function of each Scene you can add a callback to allow calling a function when an event happens. For example:

auto playItem = MenuItemImage::create("MainMenuScreen/Play_Button.png", "MainMenuScreen/Play_Button.png", CC_CALLBACK_1(MainMenuScene::GoToGameScene, this));

Then in a particular event of each scene you can move to another scene through the Director singleton. For example.

auto scene = GameScene::createScene();
Director::getInstance()->replaceScene(scene);
