<\/p>\n Now the time has passed quite gracefully, more than a half day now.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Current progress is pretty much learning, and testing functionalities in chipmunk<\/a>\u00a0that will be used as a core in the game.<\/p>\n Before that, I spent first portion of the time in recalling about Box2d, and trying to make it works. I ever used Box2d once back in my experiment iOS game project quite more than a half year ago, back then it’s native and works great. But unfortunately as this time I develop on web platform using HTML5 or cocos2d-html5 framework, it doesn’t work out. Several hours were lost into the realm of physics.<\/p>\n I found a problem about debug information that rendered on screen incorrectly. For instance, the testcase of cocos2d-html5 itself also has a problem regarding to this issue although its functionality in forefront works properly. I asked<\/a> the community about this but can’t wait as I need to step further. I can’t live in the world of physics without debug information.<\/p>\n So I switched to chipmunk\u00a0wholeheartedly\u00a0for this project. I have to admit that less code is done with chipmunk comparing to Box2d. It’s quite simple to grasp the concept of code structure than Box2d. But anyway, if I go back to iOS natively I prefer to use Box2d as it’s originally developed in C++ and well optimized for mobile usage according to my believe + with the fact that I’m a little bit shock to see chipmunk is available on premium<\/a>\u00a0as it means the free and open source version is kind da rip-off in sense.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, the community there at github of chipmunk is rather big with hundred-ish star and fork and it’s quite active. If nothing is super duper complex and doesn’t need 100% optimization, it’s one of your candidate option.<\/p>\n That’s being said. I quickly ramped up chipmunk with this link-of-the-day<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here is what I got to move on.<\/p>\n Back to code now …<\/p>\n [Originally posted this on my blog:\u00a0http:\/\/haxpor.org\/post\/37994792037\/changed-to-use-chipmunk-tested-moving-forward-ld72<\/a>]<\/p>\n \n Tags: jam<\/a>, LD72<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2012 12:29 pm","title":"Changed to use chipmunk, tested, moving forward. | LD72 no. 25"}![\"image\"](\"http:\/\/cdn.memegenerator.net\/instances\/400x\/31928123.jpg\")

\n A problem still occurs in cocos2d-html5 v.2.1 testcase, but its forefront functionality works properly.<\/p>\n ![\"image\"](\"http:\/\/media.tumblr.com\/tumblr_mf33niqC5K1qj5i9r.png\")

\n Yeah, that’s better.<\/p>\n
