I’ve writen a small ‘starter’ project that demonstrates in a simple way (I hope) a lot of the concepts – just drop the code into a new project and run :
Here is a simple Sprite-Kit GameScene.swift. Create a new, empty SpriteKit project and replace the GameScene.swift with this. Then build and run.
Click on any of the objects on screen to give make them move. Check the logs and the comments to see which ones collide and which ones make contact.
