Coding the player walk cycle

If you want to test the animations in the current project itself, add the following to the HelloWorldScene.h file first:

#include <spine/spine-cocos2dx.h>

Include the spine header file and create a variable named skeletonNode of the CCSkeletalAnimation type:

extension::CCSkeletonAnimation* skeletonNode;

Next, we initialize the skeletonNode variable in the HelloWorldScene.cpp file:

    skeletonNode = extension::CCSkeletonAnimation::createWithFile("player.json", "player.atlas", 1.0f);
    skeletonNode->addAnimation("runCycle",true,0,0);
    skeletonNode->setPosition(ccp(visibleSize.width/2 , skeletonNode->getContentSize().height/2));
    addChild(skeletonNode);

Here, we give the two data files into the createWithFile() function of CCSkeletonAnimation ...
