Your games will often require the ability to run code when the player taps a specific sprite. I like to implement a system that includes all the sprites in your game so you can add tap events to each sprite without building any additional structure. We have already implemented onTap methods in all of our classes that adopt the GameSprite protocol; we still need to wire up the scene to call these methods when the player taps the sprites.

Overview of this book
Swift is the perfect choice for game development. Developers are intrigued by Swift 3.0 and want to make use of new features to develop their best games yet. Packed with best practices and easy-to-use examples, this book leads you step by step through the development of your first Swift game.
This book starts by introducing SpriteKit and Swift's new features that can be used for game development. After setting up your first Swift project, you will build your first custom class, learn how to draw and animate your game, and add physics simulations.
Then, you will add the player character, NPCs, and powerups. To make your game more fun and engaging, you will learn how to set up scenes and backgrounds, build fun menus, and integrate with Apple Game Center to add leaderboards and achievements. You will then make your game stand out by adding animations when game objects collide, and incorporate proven techniques such as the advanced particle system and graphics. Finally, you will explore the various options available to start down the path towards monetization and publish your finished games to the App Store.
By the end of this book, you will be able to create your own iOS games using Swift and SpriteKit.
