Introduction: Foreword

Hey. :) Welcome to our book about how to make a platformer game with Cocos2D-X. This book will teach you how to make a complete game from scratch and publish it yourself. This book will walk you through all the basics steps of how to write game code, make art assets and build your own cross-platform game. ### Requirements What will you need to know to make use of this tutorial? * Some familiarity with the C++ programming language. * Some familiarity with an IDE like Xcode, Visual Studio or Eclipse. ### Updates Please note that this is an *iterative* book. As the open-source Cocos2D-X game engine grows it gets better and better, causing us to enhance this book. A [changelog](/game-source-code/cocos2d-x-platformer-engine/#changelog) will be maintained so you can always see what's new. We hope you enjoy learning about making your own multi-platform sidescroller game!
