In our fourth example of a game built with Cocos2d-x, I'll show you a simple technique for
rapid prototyping. Often in game development, you want to test the core ideas of your

doesn't work. Rapid prototyping techniques allow you to test your game as early as pos-

• How to quickly create placeholder sprites
• How to code collisions for a platform game
• How to create varied terrain for a side-scroller
