Cocos2d-x Gesture Recognizers

This project is an extension of Cocos2d-x that provide touch Gesture Recognizers.

The classes recognize the following gestures

• Swipe (one finger, 4 directions)
• Long press (one or multiple fingers)
• Pinch with rotation (two fingers)
• Pan (one or multiple fingers)
• Tap (one or multiple taps with one or multiple fingers)

My work was inspired by Apple documentation about the Gesture Recognizers:

Apple Gesture Recognizers for iOS

The code was tested on

• Android 5.1.1 physical device
• iOS 10.1 physical devices (iPhone and iPad)

Latest version tested with: Cocos2d-x 3.13 👍

How to build the sample project

iOS

• Create a new cocos2d-x project:

	cocos new -l cpp TEST

• Copy the cocos2d folder from TEST to the repository root folder
• Open the Xcode project inside the proj.ios_mac folder
• Build

Android

• Create a new cocos2d-x project:

	cocos new -l cpp TEST

• Copy the cocos2d folder from TEST to the repository root folder
• With terminal go inside the repository root folder
• Run:

	cocos run -s . -p android --android-studio

How to integrate gestures code inside your (or new) project

The repository contains two folders inside Classes folder:

• Gestures
• Test

The actual gesture recognition require only the Gestures folder. The Test folder contains various example scenes. To try the code you can do the following steps:

iOS

• Create a new cocos2d-x project:

	cocos new -l cpp <project name>

• Delete Classes e Resources folders from the sample project and add those of this repository
• Update your Xcode project with Classes and Resources folders
• Enable multi touch in file ios/AppController.mm. The line you must modify should look like this:

	[eaglView setMultipleTouchEnabled:YES]

For further informations see how to enable multi-touch here

Android

• Create a new cocos2d-x project:

	cocos new -l cpp <project name>

• Delete Classes and Resources folders from the sample project and add those of this repository
• Add the source file of this repo in proj.andorid/jni/Android.mk
