Scene size in Xcode 6 / SpriteKit / Swift

Question

I\'ve been getting stuck doing what should be really simple stuff in Xcode, I am trying to add a sprite to the scene and for it to sit in the bottom left corner:

<         


        

Answer 1

You have to edit the GameViewController:

Cut everything from viewDidLoad() except super.viewDidLoad()

Overwrite viewWillLayoutSubviews

override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewWillLayoutSubviews()

    if let scene = GameScene.unarchiveFromFile("GameScene") as? GameScene {
        // Configure the view.
        var skView = self.view as SKView
        skView.showsFPS = true
        skView.showsNodeCount = true

        /* Sprite Kit applies additional optimizations to improve rendering performance */
        skView.ignoresSiblingOrder = true

        /* Set the scale mode to scale to fit the window */
        scene.size = skView.bounds.size
        scene.scaleMode = .AspectFill

        skView.presentScene(scene)
    }
}

Also you should set the scene size as you can see

scene.size = skView.bounds.size

Hope this helps
