In-Depth Information
Our First Sprite Kit Project
In this chapter, we will look into Sprite Kit basics. Sprite Kit consists of a lot of small
elements and we need to have a clear understanding of what they do to have an
overview of a typical Sprite Kit project to see how we might plan and implement a
full-featured game.
We will explore everything that we might need when creating our own project,
as the main goal of the topic is to provide an understanding of Sprite Kit as a tool
for game development. We will start with the project that we will be creating in
this topic—an endless runner game.
This style of game is really popular on mobile devices, as it allows for quick gameplay
when you get a minute and has this "just one more" feeling to it. A player wants to
beat/better his own score, maybe even beat his friend's scores. Our game will feature
jumping and you will want to evade dangerous things that may appear on screen.
You get a higher score the longer you run without failing.
