skspritenode

I might be missing something. But my current app on the appstore works in iOS 7, but in iOS 8 completely fails because it won't create a preallocated pool of sprites. They appear to be written to the same address unless the sprites have specifically different properties. In iOS 7 the following code produces a set with 4 unique objects. In iOS 8, the same code produces a set with only 1 object: NSMutableSet *aSet = [NSMutableSet set]; SKColor *sameColor = [SKColor redColor]; CGSize sameSize = CGSizeMake(10, 10); for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { //allocate a brand new sprite SKSpriteNode

How can I bring a SKSpriteNode to the front of all other node? With UIView, I can use bringSubviewToFront to bring an uiview in front of other views. Fogmeister You can't "bring it to front" but you can change the zPosition of it. The higher the zPosition of the node the later it gets rendered. So if you have three nodes with zPositions of -1, 0 and 1 then the -1 will appear at the back. Then the 0. Then 1 will appear at the front. If they all use the default zPosition of 0.0 then they are rendered in the order they appear in the children array of the parent node. You can read it all in the

Aside from the fact that the question asked here : Draw a hole in a rectangle with SpriteKit? has not satisfactorily been answered in its own right, the most significant difference between the two is that this question requires an absence of workarounds and specifically asks about reversing the functionality of SKCropNodes. The primary concerns in this question cannot be addressed by the type of hacky ways the above question could be answered due to the randomness of the holes, the number of holes, and the variation in objects to which the holes are to be applied. Hence the Swiss Cheese

I'm making a game where I have a node that is spawning and falling from the top of the screen. However I want to make the nodes spawn at random time intervals between a period of 3 seconds. So one spawns in 1 second, the next in 2.4 seconds, the next in 1.7 seconds, and so forth forever. I am struggling with what the code should be for this. Code I currently have for spawning node: let wait = SKAction.waitForDuration(3, withRange: 2) let spawn = SKAction.runBlock { addTears() } let sequence = SKAction.sequence([wait, spawn]) self.runAction(SKAction.repeatActionForever(spawn)) The code for my
