Dive Into SpriteKit - You Design the Game (Udemy.com)

Mostly correct difficulty level for a beginners course, but so much content is duplicated between the three variants of each game, and even within each lesson sometimes when the same preparation is done for several different choices. So the unique content for the course is somewhere between half and a third of the given lengths for the video material.

As always, Mr. Stephen deStefano has created great course content to teach basic codes about SpriteKit and Swift. (Not SwiftUI, but Swift..) And I hope and wish to see same course about Game Design with SwiftUI someday... But you have to learn to walk before you start running, yes? And this is the course to help you, if you are interested in SpriteKit. And as a bonus, you will have fun learning it.. :) Special thanks to Mr.Paul Hudson who's books are great help. And thank you again Mr.Stephen, this is really helpful.

Two things of interest: - Xcode has changed pretty significantly in the years since this tutorial was started, so it's useful to use the template project. - Xcode's iPad simulator is so very slow, and using an actual iPad is crucial for proper execution.

Simple and easy. Not super advanced but enough to get comfortable with SpriteKit. You’ll need a bit of prior Swift experience but this was a very accessible course. Also, the instructor was very responsive in the questions.

Not a lot if background stuff covered like if the tablet gets an error in signing and a true demo of dragging and dropping files from the given assets. this would have been helpful. Had to search the internet for what all my errors were. But after getting it working, the coding has been excellent.

Greate course. Easy to follow. Already confident to make my own game app. I wish if there were stuff like camera follow and moving player using joystick and make a game that looks great in all devices. Enjoying the course. Thank you

I started with just a little experience with Swift and xCode but this course is presented so well and the explanations are very clear and viable that everything works great. If you are like me and like to learn by doing with thorough direction then this course is excellent.

Great course so far. I finished the first app and learned a lot. I like the idea of having the user choose direction of the app. The really like the instructor he voice is great and the course moves slower so the things learn sinks in. One thing i would like to see and i have not found any course that does this but All these apps have all the code in one Scene program. But when you expand the program you need more structure. For instance you have a folder full all the Enemy Classes and have that class have all the property , methods for an instance of this Enemy. I'm really struggling on my App i'm trying to write. I do not want to make to many global Var's or pass a lot of parms.

everything fine, except that sample code needs you to own an iPad. I don't, so I had to adapt fixed size screen examples to get some "responsive design" working on iPhone... But let's consider it as part of training...

I enrolled many iOS lectures in Udemy. But Stephen DeStefano is the best. He is very kind and trying to answer all of my questions. I appreciate him. Thank you for making SpriteKit lectures. It helps me a lot. I can't wait to enroll his next lecture.
