I am just wondering what the simplest way to change scenes in Swift + Sprite Kit is?
when changing between scenes, you're going to need to set up a transition, how the scene will change to the next and define which scene you want to transition to.
For the transition,
var transition:SKTransition = SKTransition.fadeWithDuration(1)
The fadeWithDuration
can be replaced with any SKTransition
a list of which can be found in the documentation https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/SpriteKit/Reference/SKTransition_Ref/index.html
as for defining the scene,
var scene:SKScene = GameScene(size: self.size)
You're stating which scene you wish to transition to, in this case GameScene
, but should be replaced with whichever scene you wish to transition to.
In order to start the transition, call:
self.view?.presentScene(scene, transition: transition)
Which will move to the scene scene
which was set up in the line prior, using the transition transition
which was also defined.
