In this tutorial you are going to create a SpriteKit Space Game that uses particle emitters for an animated star field and explosions. You are also going to use the iPhones accelerometer to move your player on the screen.
Check out Part 2: https://youtu.be/hirL1eDbum8
You are going to add a menu, the player is going to get lives and you are going to learn how to work with multiple SpriteKit scenes.

Why did you shuffle the entire array of strings instead of picking a random number from 0 to 2 and indexing into the array? Shuffling strings randomly will increase the number of computational instructions required, putting an unnecessarily high burden on the battery life of the phone.
Plz help iy says hello world when i run it….
Hi. Thanks for the tutorial; very interesting and everything works fine for me. I was just thinking that in would be nice if the player (starship) could bounce off the edge of the screen and change direction instead of dissapearing and appearing on the other side. I tried but i can’t figure out how to make the player node interact (maybe with an impulse or a force) when it hits the edge of the screen. Tahank you.
got it finished and running on my device, this is a great tutorial
I have a problem with the starfield. when I run the app it shut down and I get a error called:

Hi brian i get an error ” argument of ‘#selector’ cannot refer to local function ‘addalien()’ any idea how to fix this ?
Thanks for this TUTORIAL , Now i understand how spriteKit work …nice work mate
If anyone has issues with the emmitter nodes not initializing. First of all make sure that you have NOT selected integrate Gameplay kit when starting the project and second. If you cant see the starfield in the background, either it is under the hello world title OR the gamescene.sks file is not hooked up properly. Just a heads up, spend like 3 hours figuring this out lol

Brian, thanks for the tutorial. Maybe sometime you’d do a bit on radialgravityfield?
I opened the app to test it on my device but it just showed a grayish black screen. That was after I cut the “Hello World!” text out of the Game Scene. Please tell me what I’m doing wrong.

+BrianAdvent Hey Brian Amazing tutorial! I did in in one siting! I kind of had to play with the position of the label the ship and the aliens but man, the fact that it was so easy to do, I am sure it is because the code is a well made and simple code! Thanks a lot man!
P.D. I wanted to add a while loop to run only for a minute, allowing the user to play within the loop (and also display the time left) if any one has any idea, help would be much appreciated.
hey can someone help. when I’m adding in the alien function:
” func addAlien () {
possibleAliens = GKRandomSource.sharedRandom().arrayByShufflingObjects(in: possibleAliens) as! [String]
let alien = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: possibleAliens)”
the two functions say the following error:
“cannot convert value of type (String,String,String) to expected argument type [Any] / [String]”
Please help.
