Create an SKScene that Fills the SKView

A simple use case it to create an SKScene that exactly fills the SKView. This avoids the need to consider scaling the view to fit or setting a camera to show a part of the scene. The following code assumes an SKView called skView already exists (e.g. as defined in Create a Full Screen SKView using ...

Create an SKScene that Scales to fit the SKView

An SKScene has a scaleMode parameter that defines how it will change its size to fit within the SKView it is presented into the SKView if it is not the same size and/or shape.

Raw String Literals

It's best for readability (and your sanity) to avoid escaping the escapes. That's where raw strings literals come in. (Note that some languages allow delimiters, which are preferred over strings usually. But that's another section.) They usually work the same way as this answer describes: [A] ba...

Strings

In most programming languages, in order to have a backslash in a string generated from a string literal, each backslash must be doubled in the string literal.

Simple string operations

Because Regular Expressions can do a lot, it is tempting to use them for the simplest operations. But using a regex engine has a cost in memory and processor usage: you need to compile the expression, store the automaton in memory, initialize it and then feed it with the string to run it. And there...
