In the final chapter of this book, if your heart so desires, you can start learning Swift, Apple's new programming language. Here, you'll get a brief overview of what Swift is, how the language works, and some various syntax differences between Objective-C and Swift. We'll also cover the creation of a few simple apps using Swift.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
How Swift works
Learning Swift through Playgrounds
Using Cocos2d-Swift to create a game in Swift instead of Objective-C
Tip
This chapter will not cover most of Swift. It is instead intended as an introduction to coding in Swift through Cocos2d to create a game with this engine.
Also note that Swift, as a language, is only compatible with iOS 7 and above. If you intend to support iOS 6 or prior, you cannot use Swift in your project.
