WHY NO REVIEW YET
TopGit writes full reviews for the most-starred, most-requested repositories. This page is a snapshot until then — see the READ ME tab for the original README in full.
This repo is a collection of quality 3rd party extensions and additions for the Cocos2D-iPhone Engine.
Everything that doesn’t modify Cocos2D itself, while bringing new functionality can become a part of Cocos2D-iPhone-Extensions Repo: alternative versions of existing classes, additional categories, new nodes, actions, etc…
All extensions are well documented,shipped with testcases and are compatible with latest stable Cocos2D-iPhone version.
With rare exceptions, they are designed for both Mac & iOS.
As well as Cocos2D, Cocos2D Extensions are licensed under the MIT License.

Extensions
[iOS/Mac] CCMenuAdvanced - CCMenu subclass with additional features: relativeAnchor, more align options, priority property, scrolling with swipe/trackpad/mousewheel
[iOS/Mac] CCMenuItemSpriteIndependent - CCMenuItemSprite Subclass, that doesnt add normal/selected/disabled images (sprites) as children. It retains them and delegates rect & convertToNodeSpace: methods to normalImage_. So it's possible to use CCSpriteBatchNode & add position sprites of menuItem anyway you want.
[iOS/Mac] CCVideoPlayer - Simple Video Player for Cocos2D apps.
[iOS/Mac] CCBigImage - Dynamic Tiled Node for holding Large Images.
[iOS/Mac] CCSlider - Little Slider Control to allow the user to set the music/sfx/etc level in the range of 0.0f to 1.0f.
[iOS/Mac] CCSendMessages - CCActionInstant subclass, that is more flexible than other CCActions that run functions. Can be used in many cases as blocks replacement.
[iOS/Mac] CCScrollLayer - CCLayer subclass that lets you pass-in an array of layers and it will then create a smooth scroller. Complete with the "snapping" effect.
[iOS/Mac] FilesDownloader - Downloader for a group of files with shared source path.
[iOS/Mac] TMXGenerator - Class that generates a single TMX map with multiple layers.
[iOS] CCLayerPanZoom - CCLayer subclass that can be scrolled and zoomed with one or two fingers (complete with rubber effect, two modes & ability to click through delegate).
Video Overview and more Info can be found on the Wiki
Detailed README for each extension is available in it's folder (i.e. Extensions/CCSlider/README.md).
On the GitHub it will be automatically shown under files list in the extension folder.
Building & Running Tests
Agregate target "BuildAllTests" will build all extensions tests - just set it as active target and change only active executable to choose the test.
Extension Test Template is used only as a template for new extensions test targets. It should not build, cause there's no ExtensionTest class implementation for this target.
SYNTHESIZE_EXTENSION_TEST() macro is used (only once in each extension test) to implement ExtensionTest class, that creates scene with default extension test layer.
