SpriteKit enumerateChildNodesWithName with advanced searching?

Question

The following code doesn\'t work as expected. According to the SPRITE KIT PROGRAMMING GUIDE, pages 61 and 62 one may perform \"advanced searches\" by using regular expression l

Answer 1

I tried the following variation of your code in both the current and beta versions of Xcode on both iOS and OS-X.

    SKScene *scene = [[SKScene alloc] initWithSize:self.gameView.frame.size];

    for (int x = 0; x < 20; x++)
    {
        for (int y = 0; y < 20; y++)
        {
            CGPathRef myPath = CGPathCreateWithEllipseInRect(CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 20), NULL);
            SKShapeNode *myCircle = [[SKShapeNode alloc] init];
            myCircle.path = myPath;
#if TARGET_OS_IPHONE
            myCircle.fillColor = [UIColor redColor];
#else
            myCircle.fillColor = [NSColor redColor];
#endif
            myCircle.name = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"CIRCLE_%d_%d", x, y];
            myCircle.position = CGPointMake(20*x,20*y);
            [scene addChild:myCircle];
            CGPathRelease(myPath);
        }
    }

    [self.gameView presentScene:scene];

All of your sample expressions work on the Mac in both versions of the SDK. On iOS, however, they only worked in the Developer Preview.
