I want to creat a dynamic 2D water, i', following this unity tutorials
http://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/tutorials/make-a-splash-with-2d-water-effects--gamedev-236
And also this one
http://blog.prime31.com/water2d-part1/
Here is my code
class GameScene: SKScene, SKPhysicsContactDelegate {
var box: SKSpriteNode!
var nodes:[SKNode] = []
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
/* Setup your scene here */
self.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 0.5)
// Set physics body
let borderBody: SKPhysicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(edgeLoopFromRect: self.frame);
borderBody.friction = 0.0;
self.physicsBody = borderBody;
// Set contact delegate
self.physicsWorld.contactDelegate = self;
box = SKSpriteNode(color: UIColor.blackColor(), size: CGSize(width: 200, height: 20))
box.position = CGPointMake(0, 0)
box.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(rectangleOfSize: box.size)
box.physicsBody!.dynamic = false
self.addChild(box)
let one = SKSpriteNode(color: UIColor.greenColor(), size: CGSize(width: 20, height: 20))
one.position = CGPointMake(box.position.x - box.frame.size.width/2, box.position.y + box.frame.size.height * 2)
one.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(rectangleOfSize: one.size)
one.physicsBody!.allowsRotation = false
self.addChild(one)
nodes.append(one)
self.attachPoint(box, point2: one, box: true)
let two = SKSpriteNode(color: UIColor.greenColor(), size: CGSize(width: 20, height: 20))
two.position = CGPointMake(box.position.x, box.position.y + box.frame.size.height * 2)
two.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(rectangleOfSize: two.size)
two.physicsBody!.allowsRotation = false
self.addChild(two)
nodes.append(two)
self.attachPoint(box, point2: two, box: true)
let three = SKSpriteNode(color: UIColor.greenColor(), size: CGSize(width: 20, height: 20))
three.position = CGPointMake(box.position.x + box.frame.size.width/2, box.position.y + box.frame.size.height * 2)
three.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(rectangleOfSize: three.size)
three.physicsBody!.allowsRotation = false
self.addChild(three)
nodes.append(three)
self.attachPoint(box, point2: three, box: true)
self.attachPoint(one, point2: two, box: false)
self.attachPoint(two, point2: three, box: false)
}
func attachPoint(point1: SKSpriteNode, point2: SKSpriteNode, box: Bool){
if(box == true){
let newPoint1 = CGPointMake(self.frame.size.width/2 + point2.position.x, self.frame.size.height/2 + point1.position.y)
let newPoint2 = CGPointMake(self.frame.size.width/2 + point2.position.x, self.frame.size.height/2 + point2.position.y)
// create a joint between two bodies
let joint: SKPhysicsJointSpring = SKPhysicsJointSpring.jointWithBodyA(point1.physicsBody, bodyB: point2.physicsBody, anchorA: newPoint1, anchorB: newPoint2)
joint.damping = 2.0
joint.frequency = 9.0;
self.physicsWorld.addJoint(joint)
} else {
let newPoint1 = CGPointMake(self.frame.size.width/2 + point1.position.x, self.frame.size.height/2 + point1.position.y)
let newPoint2 = CGPointMake(self.frame.size.width/2 + point2.position.x, self.frame.size.height/2 + point2.position.y)
// create a joint between two bodies
let joint: SKPhysicsJointSpring = SKPhysicsJointSpring.jointWithBodyA(point1.physicsBody, bodyB: point2.physicsBody, anchorA: newPoint1, anchorB: newPoint2)
joint.damping = 2.0
joint.frequency = 9.0;
self.physicsWorld.addJoint(joint)
}
}
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
/* Called when a touch begins */
let node = nodes[2]
node.physicsBody?.velocity.dy = 20000
}
override func update(currentTime: CFTimeInterval) {
/* Called before each frame is rendered */
}
}
Here is the result
After touch, execute code in touchesBegan method
After step 2, the nodes start to rotate and fall bellow the node
If they don't rate, following the the tutorials I will have to make SKShapeNode with the color of the node. But SKShapeNode is expensive, is there another way this effect can be accomplished?
The easiest way is to use image for the top part of the water and make it move back and forth, but it won't be dynamic..
If you have ever play Tiny Wings, the water there is implemented exactly the same way in the tutorials.
I don't know, maybe this can't be made in SpriteKit or I just don't know how
