I'm trying to implement a simple scoring system into my game using this tutorial as a reference:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/87232/make-game-like-mega-jump-sprite-kit-swift-part-2
The problem is, if I try to implement as is, it crashes in the GameScene.swift on this line:
let another = whichNode as! GameObjectNode
Here are the main parts of the code where the player collects the coins. I can also invite you to my repo if you'd like to take a closer and better look. I know it can be hard from looking at the code I pasted up here.
GameObjectNode.swift:
enum CoinType: Int {
case Normal = 0
case Special
}
struct CollisionCategoryBitmask {
static let Player: UInt32 = 0x00
static let Coin: UInt32 = 0x01
static let Platform: UInt32 = 0x02
}
class GameObjectNode: SKNode {
func collisionWithPlayer(player: SKNode) -> Bool {
return false
}
func checkNodeRemoval(playerY: CGFloat) {
if playerY > self.position.y + 300.0 {
self.removeFromParent()
}
}
}
class CoinNode: GameObjectNode {
let coinSound = SKAction.playSoundFileNamed("StarPing.wav", waitForCompletion: false)
var coinType: CoinType!
override func collisionWithPlayer(player: SKNode) -> Bool {
// Boost the player up
player.physicsBody?.velocity = CGVector(dx: player.physicsBody!.velocity.dx, dy: 400.0)
// Play sound
runAction(coinSound, completion: {
// Remove this Star
self.removeFromParent()
})
// Award score
GameState.sharedInstance.score += (coinType == .Normal ? 20 : 100)
// Award stars
GameState.sharedInstance.coins += (coinType == .Normal ? 1 : 5)
// The HUD needs updating to show the new stars and score
return true
}
}
GameState.swift
class GameState {
var score: Int
var highScore: Int
var coins: Int
init() {
// Init
score = 0
highScore = 0
coins = 0
// Load game state
let defaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
highScore = defaults.integerForKey("highScore")
coins = defaults.integerForKey("coins")
}
func saveState() {
// Update highScore if the current score is greater
highScore = max(score, highScore)
// Store in user defaults
let defaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
defaults.setInteger(highScore, forKey: "highScore")
defaults.setInteger(coins, forKey: "coins")
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().synchronize()
}
class var sharedInstance: GameState {
struct Singleton {
static let instance = GameState()
}
return Singleton.instance
}
}
And the GameScene.swift:
import SpriteKit
import CoreMotion
import GameplayKit
struct PhysicsCategory {
static let None: UInt32 = 0
static let Player: UInt32 = 0b1 // 1
static let PlatformNormal: UInt32 = 0b10 // 2
static let PlatformBreakable: UInt32 = 0b100 // 4
static let CoinNormal: UInt32 = 0b1000 // 8
static let CoinSpecial: UInt32 = 0b10000 // 16
static let Edges: UInt32 = 0b100000 // 32
}
class GameScene: SKScene, SKPhysicsContactDelegate {
// Other Properties

var player: SKSpriteNode!
// HUD

// Code crashes here
