Cocos
- is our GUI tool that helps create new projects and manage projects. The future of this project is unknown. Cocos GUI
never supported VS 2015.
cocos
- is also available from the command-line and does most of what the GUI tool does, but it isn’t helpful with project management like the GUI tool was. When you run cocos new
there should be a VS project created. If you are running v3.13.1
then have a look here specifically at the post by @IanHu
Cocos Studio
- this was our layout and scene creation tool. It is EOL’d
Code IDE
- this was our JavasScript/LUA IDE. It is EOL’d
Cocos Creator
is our new unified game development environment. It supports JavaScript. Lua and C++ are coming. There is this thread where @ricardo is providing updates on his progress.
