Initial viewController: an empty viewController with a button to present the GameViewController
GameViewController: the typical GameViewController of the "Hello World" Sprite-kit template.
Goal: I want to present the first viewController from my SKScene
game with the correct deallocation of my scene.
Description: To obtain the result I've extended the SKSceneDelegate
class to build a custom protocol/delegate
that make the transition from the GameViewController
to the first initial controller (main menu). This method could be extended to other viewControllers of your game.
import UIKit
import SpriteKit
class GameViewController: UIViewController,TransitionDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
if let view = self.view as! SKView? {
if let scene = SKScene(fileNamed: "GameScene") {
scene.scaleMode = .aspectFill
scene.delegate = self as TransitionDelegate
view.presentScene(scene)
}
view.ignoresSiblingOrder = true
view.showsFPS = true
view.showsNodeCount = true
}
}
func returnToMainMenu(){
let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
guard let storyboard = appDelegate.window?.rootViewController?.storyboard else { return }
if let vc = storyboard.instantiateInitialViewController() {
print("go to main menu")
self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
import SpriteKit
protocol TransitionDelegate: SKSceneDelegate {
func returnToMainMenu()
}
class GameScene: SKScene {
override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
self.run(SKAction.wait(forDuration: 2),completion:{[unowned self] in
guard let delegate = self.delegate else { return }
self.view?.presentScene(nil)
(delegate as! TransitionDelegate).returnToMainMenu()
})
}
deinit {
print("\n THE SCENE \((type(of: self))) WAS REMOVED FROM MEMORY (DEINIT) \n")
}
}
