PocoSDK Integration Guide

PocoSDK implementations for most popular game engines are already provided in poco-sdk repo. You can easily integrate PocoSDK in your game following the corresponding instruction.

Feel free to open an issue if you get stuck in integration.

Unity3D

PocoSDK supports Unity3D version 4 & 5, ngui & ugui, C# only for now. If your game is not supported yet, please refer to implementation guide.

1. Clone source code from poco-sdk repo.

2. Copy the Unity3D folder to your unity project script folder.

3. If you are using ngui, just remove the sub folder Unity3D/ugui . If you are using ugui, just remove the sub folder Unity3D/ngui .

4. Add Unity3D/PocoManager.cs as script component on any GameObject, generally on main camera.

Cocos2dx-lua

PocoSDK supports cocos2dx-lua version >= 3.1.

1. Clone the sdk source code from poco-sdk repo.

2. Copy the cocos2dx-lua/poco folder to your project script folder. You can rename the folder if you wish.

3. Initialize poco-sdk by copying following code to your game initialization script.

local poco = require('poco.poco_manager')
poco:init_server(15004)  -- default port number is 15004, change to another if you like

Note

Your cocos2dx-lua project should at least enable socket or socket.core module, as poco requires this module to setup a tcp server at runtime.

Note

If your cocos2dx-lua project does not have mime module, it still works but a little slow.

4. Check the adb logcat (for Android) whether successfully integrated. (It is highly recommended to use Android Studio.) If you can see the following “LUA-print”, you poco-sdk is successfully integrated.

After integration, you can start to play with poco. Or if you have any problems, feel free to open an issue here. Title format: [cocos2dx-lua sdk integration] xxx

Cocos2dx-js (beta)

PocoSDK supports 3.1 <= Cocos2dx version <= 3.13.1 (theoretically). To make sure compatibility across every javascript engines, the javascript sdk is written in ES5.

cocos2d-x 3.13.1 is tested and passed.

1. Clone sdk source code from poco-sdk repo.

2. Copy the cocos2dx-js/Poco folder to your cocos project javascript folder.

3. As sdk requires WebSocketServer, we should build WebSocketServer module and js bindings in native code. The WebSocketServer is part of cocos2dx framework but not include by default thus we build it manually by following steps. See also WebSocketServer reference. You’d better backup your origin websockets folder before copying. The js binding for WebSocketServer requires libwebsockets version == 1.6. There may be some incompatibility issues in cocos2d-x itself if your cocos2d-x engine is not using libwebsockets version == 1.6.

cp -r cocos2dx-js/3rd/websockets <your-cocos-project>/frameworks/cocos2d-x/external/websockets
cp cocos2dx-js/3rd/src/* <your-cocos-project>/frameworks/runtime-src/Classes

4. Edit <your-cocos-project>/frameworks/runtime-src/Classes/AppDelegate.cpp. Add following 2 lines at proper position respectively.

// include it at top
#include "jsb_websocketserver.h"

// register callbacks of websocketserver
sc->addRegisterCallback(register_jsb_websocketserver);

5. Edit <your-cocos-project>/frameworks/runtime-src/proj.android/jni/Android.mk. Add following boxed line at proper position in your own makefile. If you are using AndroidStudio project, edit proj.android-studio/jni/Android.mk and ensure the path is correct.

...

$(call import-add-path, $(LOCAL_PATH)/../../../cocos2d-x/external)

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := hellojavascript/main.cpp \
                   ../../Classes/AppDelegate.cpp \
                   ../../Classes/WebSocketServer.cpp \
                   ../../Classes/jsb_websocketserver.cpp

LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/../../Classes \
                    $(LOCAL_PATH)/../../../cocos2d-x/external/websockets/include/android

LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := cocos2d_js_static websockets_static

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
$(call import-module, websockets/prebuilt/android)
$(call import-module, scripting/js-bindings/proj.android)

...

6. Edit your project.json. Append sdk filenames to jsList in the following order.

{
    // ...
    jsList: [
        // ...
        "src/lib/Poco/sdk/AbstractDumper.js",
        "src/lib/Poco/sdk/AbstractNode.js",
        "src/lib/Poco/sdk/Attributor.js",
        "src/lib/Poco/sdk/DefaultMatcher.js",
        "src/lib/Poco/sdk/IScreen.js",
        "src/lib/Poco/sdk/Selector.js",
        "src/lib/Poco/Cocos2dxNode.js",
        "src/lib/Poco/Cocos2dxDumper.js",
        "src/lib/Poco/POCO_SDK_VERSION.js",
        "src/lib/Poco/Poco.js"
    ]
}

7. Recompile your cocos project

8. require('Poco') in your game’s first initialized script to start PocoSDK, and do not destroy it during game’s lifetime.

var PocoManager = window.PocoManager
var poco = new PocoManager()

// add poco on window object to persist
window.poco = poco

If anything goes wrong, please open an issue here. Title format: [cocos2dx-js sdk integration] xxx

Cocos-Creator

PocoSDK supports Cocos Creator 2.2.1 or higher.

Cocos Creator 2.2.1 is tested and passed.

1. Clone sdk source code from poco-sdk repo.

2. Copy the cocos-creator/Poco folder to your cocos project javascript folder.

3. As sdk requires WebSocketServer, we should enable WebSocketServer module and js bindings in native code.

   The WebSocketServer is part of cocos2dx framework but not include by default thus we should include it manually by following steps.

   1. Go to the engine directory.

   2. Edit the ccConfig.h file. The path is like your/path/to/CocosCreator_2.2.1/resources/cocos2d-x/cocos/base/ccConfig.h

   3. Edit line 62. Change #define USE_WEBSOCKET_SERVER 0 to #define USE_WEBSOCKET_SERVER 1

4. Recompile your cocos project

5. require('Poco') in your game’s first initialized script to start PocoSDK, and do not destroy it during game’s lifetime.

cc.Class({
    extends: cc.Component,

    .....

    //remember to put code in onLoad function
    onLoad: function () {
       .....

        var poco = require("./Poco") // use your own relative path
        window.poco = new poco(); // not destroy
        cc.log(window.poco);

    },

   .....
});

Note

Currently only supports Android and Windows platform, and Poco can only be used after packaging. Not available in preview mode.

Unreal

(Coming soon.)

Android Native App

Nothing to do about integration. Just start writing tests and be happy. See poco for Android Native App section for more details.

Netease Internal Engines

Just config the module preload at Hunter. Please append following script to the end of hunter __init__ instruction. Require safaia version >= 1.2.0. Use print Safaia.__version__ to get current version. Any questions about hunter feel free to contact lxn3032@corp.netease.com.
