Part 1 - Solo Mission (Space Invaders) - Make A Full iPhone Game In Xcode

Part 1 in the series where you will learn how to make the full iPhone game: Solo Mission, a Space Invaders type game. In this video, we will make a ship that will fire bullets in space.

If sound effect isn't playing in Xcode 9:
To fix this, click on your project name in the top left of the screen to go to the home area of Xcode. In the tabs, go to 'build phases'. Open, 'copy bundle resources'. Make sure the sound file is on this list. if it isn't, the sound won't play, so click the plus and add the sound file to the list. Xcode used to add the file to this list, but now it isn't doing it automatically, causing this error. Hope this helps!

Changes in Swift 3.0!

There have been a few changes in the new version of Xcode. The main change in this series is when setting up the scene size to make the game work on set size. There is now some more code in the gameViewController, but only change the line I change in the video still. Your gameViewController will now look this:

override func viewDidLoad() {

super.viewDidLoad()

if let view = self.view as! SKView? {

// Load the SKScene from 'GameScene.sks'

let scene = GameScene(size: CGSize(width: 1536, height: 2048))

// Set the scale mode to scale to fit the window

scene.scaleMode = .aspectFill

// Present the scene

view.presentScene(scene)

view.ignoresSiblingOrder = true

view.showsFPS = true

view.showsNodeCount = true
}

}

The other changes in this series are minor. Creating some actions have changed slightly (for example, scaleTo(...) is now scale(to: ...). Follow the code templates when you are setting up the actions and it will guide you through. If you get stuck, post in the comments! :D
