skscene

I've noticed significant fps drops (framerate drops between 5-10fps), when unpausing the view in SpriteKit. I tried this with empty project (Spritekit game template). Here is the code: if(!self.view.paused){ self.view.paused = YES; NSLog(@"Paused"); }else{ NSLog(@"Unpaused"); self.view.paused = NO; } If I pause the scene, everything works as expected and frames are steady at 60fps. I am testing this on device. if(!self.paused){ self.paused = YES; NSLog(@"Paused"); }else{ NSLog(@"Unpaused"); self.paused = NO; } This can make a problem with gameplay when unpausing because some frames will be

every time i run my app in my simulator the view scale always comes out to 768,1024 how do you change this to 1024,768. here is the default size code class GameViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() if let scene = GameScene(fileNamed:"GameScene") { // Configure the view. let skView = self.view as! SKView skView.showsFPS = true skView.showsNodeCount = true /* Sprite Kit applies additional optimizations to improve rendering performance */ skView.ignoresSiblingOrder = true /* Set the scale mode to scale to fit the window */ scene.scaleMode =

I have problem with AVAudioPlayer and playing the short sounds in my spritekit game. I have quite dynamic game scene and when the user tap into particular element I want to play simple "beep" sound, but I notice that performing sound using AVAudioPlayer cause significant performance issue. My audio files are in .mp3 format. Also I have tried SKAction method (playSoundFileNamed) to perform sound and everything looks almost the same, I noticed the same performance issue. My question is what is the best practice to perform sound in SpriteKit. PS: I tried to find WWDC Adventure spritekit sample

I have an SKScene which is the overworld for my 2D game. It's like a neighborhood that the player can explore. The neighborhood is full of houses. Players can freely enter and exit houses. When the player enters a house, I call skView.presentScene(newHouse) to present the interior of the house as a new scene. When the player exits the house, I call skView.presentScene(overworld) to present the neighborhood again. The player is likely to enter & exit houses many times as they explore the neighborhood. Thus, the neighborhood scene and new instances of the house scene are presented many times.

I'm having a hard time finding the answer to this question I assume is not that hard. How can I reference methods and properties defined on a viewcontroller from a SKScene ? And building on that: How can you reference the ViewController from a SKScene that was loaded from within another SKScene? A better option than my "back reference" answer is to use a protocol to explicitly define the methods that a SKScene subclass expects the UIViewController subclass to implement. Here are the steps you'll need to go through. 1) Define the protocol (contract) that the UIViewController will need to adopt

I am new to SpriteKit and just built my first game. Everything was working great until iOS 7.1. Now, after a few times of advancing to a new level and presenting a new Scene , it crashes. I don't think I am presenting it in an incorrect way: ZSSMyScene *nextLevel = [[ZSSMyScene alloc] initWithSize:self.size level:self.level score:score]; [self.view presentScene:nextLevel]; I get a EXC_BAD_ACCESS error, and it looks like it is happening on removeSubsprite , but I can't find anywhere in my code that I would be removing a subsprite: Not sure what other info to provide as this is just an obscure

I am wanting to 'reset' and 'restart' the GameScene so it is as if the GameScene was first called. I have looked at different methods for doing this, but each time I get a warning that I'm trying to add a node to a parent which already has a parent. However, in my code I delete all my existing nodes so I'm really confused as to how to reset the GameScene. This is how I do it now (this code is called when I want to restart the GameScene from scratch and it is called within the GameScene class): let scene = GameScene(size: self.size) scene.scaleMode = .aspectFill let animation = SKTransition
