I know in the past I have been a big fan of cocos2D and have talked extensively about the functions. I have in the last two weeks written a side shooter an a box2D pinball game nether of the two could have been done without cocos2D. Now I am learning how to build a rapper for UIView class for displaying video for OpenGLES layer. This software is amazing the box2D stuff is complex and time consuming but a huge improvement over writing a physics engine for 2D. With the tools such as vertex helper it has shorten the time building vertex models for your box2D powered app. Here they now enter open source C++.
Its a little bit more involved then the Object-C version but a huge improvement over trying to build it from the ground up. The other benefit is the ability to develop for both iPhone and Android. So great platform cross portability for Android developers are racing it seems to get in on the cocos2D fun. I myself am jacked about the idea of being able to build on one platform and with only small amount of changes port it over to the other. I am still working with Objective-C its just another option for people to port over to move their games over to another platform.
