How to scale/position nodes Swift SpriteKit? Custom View?

Question

I\'m working on a game but can\'t figure out the right way to scale/ position everything. I have a universal app and when I switch from device to device the nodes aren\'t in

Answer 1

To keep my games universal I make all my nodes sizes and positions dependant on SKScene size

Instead of using hardcoded numbers try using proportions from your SKScene size. For example: Instead of writing this:

node.position = CGPointMake(100, 100)

Write somthing like this:

node.position = CGPointMake(world.frame.size.width / 32 * 16, world.frame.size.height / 18 * 9)

world - SKNode of exactly same size as your SKScene

Same for sizes

let blackSquare = SKSpriteNode(texture: nil, color: UIColor.blackColor(), size: CGSizeMake(world.frame.size.width / 32, world.frame.size.width / 32))

Also GameViewController should look something like this:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Configure the view

    let skView = view as! SKView
    skView.multipleTouchEnabled = false

    // Create and configure the scene

    let scene = GameScene(size: skView.bounds.size)
    scene.scaleMode = .AspectFill
    scene.size = skView.bounds.size

    skView.presentScene(scene);
}

Was this helpfull?
