A live coding command line tool for cocos2d-js / cocos2d-x lua binding!

This tool do the same thing of Cocos Code IDE Live Coding feature.

No more waiting for the game to recompile or re-launch, now you are able to make live modifications to the game and see the real time results.

With this tools you can enjoy this feature freely with any code editor!!!

Require

1. Mac OS platform
2. cocos2d-js 3.2 runtime or cocos2d-x lua-binding runtime(I didn't test it).

Usage

1. Build this project in XCode, it will generate a executable binary.

2. Launch a runtime Cococs2d App. （Runtime feature take effect under debug build by default.）

3. Run this binary in terminal with correct args, for example:

    LiveRefresh 127.0.0.1 /your/project/root/folder
   

4. Then, you can use Cocos Console command, such as fps off、version or your self custom commands.

5. Do some modifications with your code or resources, then type refresh command will check the diff between your project foler on your mac and your app r/w folder on your phone/simulator, and update files then reload. So, you could update your code lively! Enjoy it!!

   Notice: Every time you modify your code, you need run refresh command to make them take effect.

Implementation

This just some implementation tips, you can read the source code to check it out.

1. Socket connect cocos console port, send/rev console command.
2. Socket connect FileServer which defined in Runtime.cpp, send/write file contents to app.
3. Use sendrequest custom command defined in Runtime.cpp read fileinfo_debug.json to check diff.
