sktilemapnode

I am learning Swift, and as a project I am working on a tile based 2D game similar to super mario where my character will walk and jump on tiles. The latest version of Xcode and Sprite Kit give the ability to create a Tile Map directly in Xcode. In the presentation of the new Xcode and Sprite kit, the guy demonstrates a game similar to what i am working on. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/610/ (around the 20th minute). He mentions giving Tiles user data properties which i did, and in code we search through all the tiles which have that user data and give them some physics

I am trying to create a simple 2d platform game using Swift, SpriteKit, and SKTileMaps. But every time i change between scenes containing SKTileMaps I see a lot of memory leaks in the Xcode Instruments. I have recreated the problem as simple as I can. I am using a .sks file to create the scene and this file only contains 1 tileMap filled with some tiles. The code in the view controller for presenting the scene: if let view = self.view as! SKView? { let scene = LoadingScene(size: CGSize(width: 2048, height: 1536)) scene.scaleMode = .aspectFill view.presentScene(scene) The code for the scene:

does anyone know how to create an SKTileMapNode programmatically using Swift please? (NOTE: I do not want to do this using the editor, I want to achieve this programmatically only) I have tried the following but does not render my tile map let bgTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "background") let bgDefinition = SKTileDefinition(texture: bgTexture, size: bgTexture.size()) let bgGroup = SKTileGroup(tileDefinition: bgDefinition) let tileSet = SKTileSet(tileGroups: [bgGroup]) let bgNode = SKTileMapNode(tileSet: tileSet, columns: 5, rows: 5, tileSize: bgTexture.size()) bgNode.position = CGPoint(x:

I am creating a tile map for an iOS game I am working on. The map is a top down view of an island. Most of the tiles are water, but some are land. The water tile is reused to create the water, but none of the land tiles are used more than once, because all of the land tiles are unique. I have looked through the docs for SKTileDefinition, SKTileGroup, SKTileGroupRule, SKTileSet, and SKTileMap, and this is what I came up with: func createTileMap() { let waterTile = SKTileDefinition(texture: SKTexture(imageNamed: "map-tile-1")) let waterTileGroup = SKTileGroup(tileDefinition: waterTile) let
