Summary

You now have a basic knowledge of Cocos2d and have created your first game! You know about CCNode and the scene graph. You learned the common CCNode subclasses, including CCSprite for 2D images, CCButton for buttons, and CCLabelTTF for text. You also learned how to organize your game into different scenes using CCScene and, how to transition between these scenes using the CCDirector-shared instance. You also learned how to run code on every frame by using the update methods provided in CCNode.

In the next chapter, you will discover how you can avoid all the repetitive initialization code by using the graphical editor: SpriteBuilder.
