does cocos2d-android-1 compatible with latest cocos2d-iphone?


I start porting my apps to android from ios. My apps were developed using cocos2d-iphone 1.0 version. I'd like to know cocos2d-x or cocos2d-andriod-1 compatible with cocos2d-iphone 1.0?

Thanks

  • No / Not really.

    First of all the iphone version uses Objective-C and the Android version uses Java as the underlying programming language. That makes them incompatible from a language perspective.

    As far as features and stability are concerned, cocos2d is a moving target and the android builds as well as practically any other cocos2d engine are lagging far behind cocos2d-iphone. Maybe with the exception of cocos2d-x whose developers make an effort to be as close to cocos2d-iphone as possible, feature-wise.
