What do you think about porting CocosBuilder to Qt for real cross platform ?

[meiry]

since this project is dead .
i was thinking about idea to port this project to Qt for other users also
its great app is a shame to let it die .

Yes, vlidholt said that he didn't work for CocosBuilder, maybe we can work together to port it to Qt.

+1
To cross port this project to Qt and include updated CCBReaders to the C++ Cocos2d-x project.
I guess the bigger challenge is to keep the CCBReader updated and in sync with the API changes.

well asked 3 moths ago and there is poor response , i guess there is no demand for it ,
i wander if cocos-studio will be good replacement

There is no CocoStudio for Mac yet. Apportable/Spritebuilder is the only cross-platform(iOS/android) solution for Mac users.

If CocosBuilder is updated to work with the latest cocos2d-x 3.0 release then a lot of Mac developers will get truly cross-platform(c++/js) alternative to SpriteBuilder without being restricted to Obj-C/Apportable.

However, Viktor's current employment with Apportable prevents his earlier roadmap vision from being pursued due to conflict of interest with Apportable.

Cocosbuilder 3.0 C++ Branch would find lots of takers looking for cross-platform development

rewrite it with Java + JavaFX then it will be trully crossplatform
