If anyone was waiting for a 7 year old Objective-C example program to be converted to swift, you are in luck.

Sprite Tour now for Swift

https://github.com/mevdev/SpriteTourSwift

SpriteKit hasn’t gotten much love from Apple after it was created, but it was pretty complete already. I’m not a fan of the sks files or storyboards so I’ve created a starting project where you can just start coding on a 2d game.

Features:

• No sample code
• Programmatic invocation of starting view controller, which eliminates the need for a storyboard.
• GameScene is programmatically invoked, which eliminated the (useless to me) sks file
