You PM’d me about this too.

Cocos2d-x is the game engine. It supports c++, JavaScript and Lua. 2d and 3d.

Cocos Creator is a GUI editor that sits on top of Cocos2d-x. It supports JavaScript but c++ and Lua are currently in beta.

Cocos has 2 parts. It is a command-line tool that comes with Cocos2d-x. There is also a GUI version that is mostly EOL’d

Just three more questions
1.is cocos2d-x command line based or what make it different from creator?
2.creator supports 3d?
3. What is function of cocos

  1. Cocos2d-x has a command-line tool that you can use, called cocos. You at least use this for creating a new project. You can also use it to compile and run your apps as well as generate the pre-built libraries. It is NOT Creator. Creator is a more in-depth scene management tool. Creator has Cocos2d-x under the hood.

  2. I am asking the engineering team for an answer here. I don’t want to give the wrong one. My feeling is that there are no built in 3D tools for you to use. However, I am not current on if you can use another 3D tool and bring your creations into Creator. I’ll update this answer once I hear back from them.

  3. cocos is a command-line tool. Please read about it here. There was a GUI version, but it is EOL’d mostly. We may write another version in the future.
