Unity-to-Cocos porting: shared kit, playable framework and visual validation

I work on Unity-to-Cocos ports for browser games and playable ads. My workflow combines playable-shared-kit conversion tooling, cc_playable_framework runtime integration, and capture-based visual validation.

The stack behind the port

Unity source passes through playable-shared-kit inspection and conversion into cc_playable_framework scene and runtime integration, producing a Cocos browser demo. Unity Intelligence, demo-studio and resource/build tools support inspection, validation and delivery.

playable-shared-kit: inspect and convert. cc_playable_framework: integrate, run and build. Scaffolds still need behaviour review.

A repeatable porting workflow

Start with one representative effect or mechanic. Fix mismatches, then replay the same controlled case.

Tooling that makes the result reviewable

Unity Intelligence supplies source inspection and Unity reference captures. demo-studio aligns captures and produces side-by-side comparisons. Resource and build tooling supports asset-footprint checks and browser delivery.

Compare visual behaviour using the same camera and clock. Check frame time, package size and input separately.

A low average difference can hide a missing flash. Review motion, trails, timing and capture warnings before treating a port as ready.
