Cocos2d: Difference between ccp and CGPointMake?

Question

In Cocos2d, many things require ... points. Or position. I used the ccp and CGPointMake methods, and both of them worked fine for me.

However, in some textbooks, I have seen that people use one or both of them in all of their examples. So I'm not sure if there is a real difference (because if there was no difference, I would just use the fast ccp method).

Answer 1

There is no difference except CGPointMake is more difficult to enter:

#define     ccp(__X__, __Y__)   CGPointMake(__X__,__Y__)
