Games have a lot of GUI parts, for example, there are menus, buttons, checkboxes, loading bars, and so on. We cannot make our game without these parts.

Akihiro Matsuura

Akihiro Matsuura has five years of experience as a Cocos2d-x developer. He founded his own company called Syuhari, Inc. five years ago. He has more than 20 years of experience as a programmer. He has written three technical books in Japanese. He also authored Cocos2d-x Recipe Book, Shuwa System Co., Ltd , the first Cocos2d-x book in Japan, iPhone SDK Recipe Book , Shuwa System Co., Ltd, and Cocos2d-x Guide Book, Mynavi Corporation. 7 years ago, iPhone3G was released in Japan. This was when he began to develop its software and ended up developing a lot of applications for iPhone. First, he developed them using Cocos2d for iPhone; however, he had to port to Android. So, he decided to use Cocos2d-x to develop cross-platform applications. At that time, Cocos2d-x was at version 1.0. Since then, he has developed a lot of applications using Cocos2d-x.
