Making things go bang: SKEmitterNode
Making things go bang: SKEmitterNode 관련
This is easily the best bit of the game, mostly because it involves even more particle systems. There are three things we need to create: a method to explode a single firework, a method to explode all the fireworks (which will call the single firework explosion method), and some code to detect and respond the device being shaken.
First, the code to explode a single firework. Put this somewhere in your game scene:
func explode(firework: SKNode) {
if let emitter = SKEmitterNode(fileNamed: "explode") {
emitter.position = firework.position
addChild(emitter)
}
firework.removeFromParent()
}
You should be able to read that once and know exactly what it does: it creates an explosion where the firework was, then removes the firework from the game scene.
The explodeFireworks() method is next, and is only fractionally more complicated. It will be triggered when the user wants to set off their selected fireworks, so it needs to loop through the fireworks array (backwards again!), pick out any selected ones, then call explode() on it.
As I said earlier, the player's score needs to go up by more when they select more fireworks, so about half of the explodeFireworks() method is taken up with figuring out what score to give the player.
There's one small piece of extra complexity: remember, the fireworks array stores the firework container node, so we need to read the firework image out of its children array.
Enough talk – here's the code:
func explodeFireworks() {
var numExploded = 0
for (index, fireworkContainer) in fireworks.enumerated().reversed() {
guard let firework = fireworkContainer.children.first as? SKSpriteNode else { continue }
if firework.name == "selected" {
// destroy this firework!
explode(firework: fireworkContainer)
fireworks.remove(at: index)
numExploded += 1
}
}
switch numExploded {
case 0:
// nothing – rubbish!
break
case 1:
score += 200
case 2:
score += 500
case 3:
score += 1500
case 4:
score += 2500
default:
score += 4000
}
}
As you can see, exploding five fireworks is worth 20x more points than exploding just one, hence the incentive to select groups by color!
There's one last thing to do before this game is complete, and that's to detect the device being shaken. This is easy enough to do because iOS will automatically call a method called motionBegan() on our game when the device is shaken. Well, it's a little more complicated than that – what actually happens is that the method gets called in GameViewController.swift, which is the UIViewController that hosts our SpriteKit game scene.
The default view controller doesn't know that it has a SpriteKit view, and certainly doesn't know what scene is showing, so we need to do a little typecasting. Once we have a reference to our actual game scene, we can call explodeFireworks(). Put this method just after the prefersStatusBarHidden property in GameViewController.swift:
override func motionBegan(_ motion: UIEvent.EventSubtype, with event: UIEvent?) {
guard let skView = view as? SKView else { return }
guard let gameScene = skView.scene as? GameScene else { return }
gameScene.explodeFireworks()
}
That's it, your game is done. Obviously you can't shake your laptop to make the iOS Simulator respond, but you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Cmd+Z to get the same result. If you're testing on your iPad, make sure you give it a good shake in order to trigger the explosions!
