How to make a sprite jump to a specific height with SpriteKit?

Question

I am trying to use applyImpulse to make a sprite jump to a specific height. In the example code below, the dynamic black circle jumps to the same height as the static red ci

Answer 1

Instead of applyImpulse use velocity. Velocity will be more specific. jumpingCircle.physicsBody?.velocity = CGVectorMake(jumpingCircle.physicsBody.velocity.dx, 300.0f); Code not tested.
