I've been trying to work on a simple Sprite Kit game that involves dodging red balls. I'm using the built-in gravity mechanism, but I'm having trouble preventing the player from falling through the ground. I've looked up a solution (set ground.physicsBody.dynamic = NO), but the player still falls through. What exactly do I need to do?
Edit: The green and brown texture is the ground. Right now the player is set to not being dynamic, so it is 'flying'
Here is my code in the MyScene.m file:
