Changing the image of a SKSprite to an SKShapeNode

Question

Sprite Kit, Xcode.

I need to find a way to change a sprites image within the program itself. I know how to create jpg files and make them into the sprite image...

If I understand your question correctly, you can achieve what you're after using the textureFromNode method on SKView.

In your SKScene:

-(void)didMoveToView:(SKView *)view {
    SKShapeNode *shape = [SKShapeNode shapeNodeWithCircleOfRadius:100];
    shape.fillColor = [UIColor blueColor];
    shape.position  = CGPointMake(self.size.width * 0.25, self.size.height * 0.5);
    [self addChild:shape];

    SKTexture *shapeTexture = [view textureFromNode:shape];
    SKSpriteNode* sprite = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithTexture: shapeTexture];
    sprite.position = CGPointMake(self.size.width * 0.75, self.size.height * 0.5);
    [self addChild:sprite];
}

Hope that helps!
