SpriteKit uses a grid of points to position nodes. In this grid, the bottom left corner of the scene is (0,0), with a positive X-axis to the right and a positive Y-axis to the top.
Similarly, on the individual sprite level, (0,0) refers to the bottom left corner of the sprite, while (1,1) refers to the top right corner.
Each sprite has an anchorPoint property, or an origin. The anchorPoint property allows you to choose which part of the sprite aligns to the sprite's overall position.
To illustrate this, let us examine the blue square sprite we just drew on the screen. Our sprite is 50 pixels wide and 50 pixels tall, and its position is (300,300). Since we have not modified the anchorPoint property, its anchor point is (0.5,0.5). This means the sprite will be perfectly centered over the (300,300) position on the scene's grid. Our sprite's left...
