In the new GitHub project page (e.g. https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-iphone), it really took me some times to figure out where is the DOWNLOAD button..Please put the download button back to the top right area (next to the watch/fork buttons), and don't give your users shit work... Thank you!
(Btw, I agree what you said in your article!)
In Don't Give Your Users Shit WorkYour comment sounds like FUD to me, for three reasons:
1) You haven't done your research, nor do you sound like an insider. Cocos2D is licensed liberally and a forked version could be used in closed-source commercial projects without any trouble. It took me under a minute to find the license. I think it's the MIT license. https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-iphone/blob/master/LICENS...
2) It's based on fallacies. Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's likely. Companies often benefit from outside contributions to their open source projects. Releasing an open source project doesn't always mean it's significantly easier to replicate a company's business model.
3) It's useless. It's not a serious attempt at getting a fork going. It's also commenting on a career decision that's already been made.
Congrats to Ricardo, Zynga, and Cocos2D!
In Zynga buys iPhone game engine development team (Cocos2D/Zapus Media)Tell HN: I made my first open source contribution.
Yeah, I know, it's really a kind of "so what" Tell HN. But I feel great, and after a long stretch feeling like I was contributing to nothing at my day job, taking some time to improve an open source project has actually made me feel really great.
Of all the communities I'm involved with, this is probably the only one that would recognize this as being even remotely interesting.
For those who want to know, I found an annoying engine limit in cocos2d-iphone that was causing me grief, so I examined the problem and found a fairly simple solution, which I implemented and then made a pull request on github. Link here: https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-iphone/pull/41
It hasn't been accepted yet, but when it does, I'm pretty sure I'm going to feel like a million bucks.
