Game Physics

Abstract

In the Painter game, you created a very basic mechanism for objects moving around in the game world and colliding with each other. In Tut’s Tomb, this is no longer sufficient. Objects need to fall according to gravity, they need to bounce off walls, and they need to handle collisions differently. In this chapter, you are going to adapt your game structure so that it is more suitable for these advanced interactions. You will see that it’s quite simple to add physically correct behavior to your game objects in SpriteKit.
