Endless scrolling (repeating) background in Spritekit game - Swift

Question

I want to Create a endless scrolling background for my spritekit game, iT should consist of one or two images probably, which repeat themselves? I found these one and two exampl

Answer 1

I know this is late to the game, but I found how to do this horizontally as well!

Starting off with Egghead's code (Excellent work!) I modified some things:

    let background1 = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "Street_Example")
    let background2 = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "Street_Example")

Also:

    background1.position = CGPoint(x: frame.size.width / 2, y:frame.size.height / 2)
    background1.size = CGSize(width: frame.width, height: frame.height)
    background1.anchorPoint = CGPointZero
    background1.position = CGPointMake(0, 0)
    background1.zPosition = -15
    self.addChild(background1)

    background2.size = CGSize(width: frame.width, height: frame.height)
    background2.anchorPoint = CGPointZero
    background2.position = CGPointMake(background1.size.width - 1,0)
    background2.zPosition = -15
    self.addChild(background2)

And to update the position of the background:

    background1.position = CGPointMake(background1.position.x-2, background1.position.y)
    background2.position = CGPointMake(background2.position.x-2, background2.position.y)
    if(background1.position.x < -background1.size.width)
    {
      background1.position = CGPointMake(background1.position.x + background2.size.width , background2.position.y)
    }
    if(background2.position.x < -background2.size.width)
    {
      background2.position = CGPointMake(background2.position.x + background1.size.height, background1.position.y) 
    }
