Create a 2D endless runner game with Cocos Creator

In this section we learn how to create a project as well as how to lay out some simple scenes that will be used in the game.

We continue building our game by first enabling the box2D physics and then follow up with an overview of the rigidBody and its options.

We look at the BoxCollider options and how they can be used in a game of this type.

We make sure that the ground is destroyed when it leaves the game scene. We also write code that enables our ground to spawn.

We make the player have the running animation and add the polygon collider component. We then enable the fixed rotation property.

We make the player to be able to jump in this section by applying forces appropriately. We also talk about adding the keyboard event listeners and the touch event listeners.

We see how to detect collisions and see what physics body the player collided with. We use this with our logic to enable the player to jump again.

We add the cactus and bush as obstacles for the player to be able to jump.

We make the obstacles spawn randomly so that the they are unpredictable.

We make the collision detector notice when the player hits the obstacle and then end the game.

I show how to change between two scene using the button on the menu Scene.

I show how to have music and effects for the game
