In Chapter 2, What Makes a Game a Game?, we learned some techniques that are used in almost every video game. In this chapter, we will talk about some techniques that are used to add complexity to games, such as creating our own SKNode
subclasses or drawing geometrical primitives. We will also learn some other techniques that will provide a realistic look and feel to a game, such as animating sprites or implementing the parallax effect.
You will learn the following things in this chapter:
How to create classes that extend
SKNode
How to implement the parallax effect
How to animate sprites
Drawing geometrical primitives
