Course Description

This course is about the Sprite Kit framework and how to use it to build your own Game clearly inspired by Nintendo's best selling game Super Mario Run.

We're going to build this app from scratch meaning you don't have to have any prior experience in game development.

By the end of this course you will have a complete game you can then publish in the App Store.

The source code and the resources that we provide you with are already of incredible value. However the real value is actually the more than 10 hours of video content, in which we explain everything extremely detailed and if you still have any questions or need help, you can always just message us.

We start this course by giving you a thorough introduction to the SK Framework and its most important components, afterwardswe'll jump right into building our game, without having to worry about not understanding what we're doing.

Using SKTileMapNode and the SceneEditor we will learn how to create amazing worlds and levels visually without having to write all of the code.

The Game itself will feature things such as:

EnemiesScoresPower Upscollectibles and much more.

As it is the case with all of our course we will provide you with all of the resources, project files and source code used in this course.

Though it might be helpful to have a basic knowledge of Swift, it is definitely not required at all. Since you have lifetime access to this course you can take it at your own pace and rewatch any lessons as many times as you like. Therefore this course is the perfect introduction into the amazing world of game development!

So far with setting up the SpriteKit things seem to move very quickly.

By Luis Fernando Massoni on 5/6/2020

The lessons is still a little bit hard to understand.

By Aykut Erdodu on 4/15/2020

imdilik iyi gidiyor. fakat neyi neden yaptiginin aciklamasi ok iyi yapilmiyor. sadece izliyoruz.

By Rodrigo Camargo on 4/10/2020

I really liked the course. It was well explained and very useful. Although I must warn everybody this course was made on an older version of XCode 9 and Swift 3.0 and this must be changed to Swift 5 (or later) to compile properly on XCode 11.4. Also, I'm facing animations problems that I need to investigate further, but this won't change my 5 stars review since I learned a lot and really enjoyed the course. Thanks, Rume Academy.

Not updated, questions not answered in two years. cant move past lesson 24 because im using IOS13 Swift 5. Just look for a more updated course.

By Ycel Bayram on 4/3/2020

Very well organized, easy to follow. never copy-paste codes without explanation. It is my second course of these guys and I m really glad to bought that one too.

By Alchemy Lab on 3/1/2020

Corso ben articolato e pieno di informazioni utili, peccato sia un po' datato

By Spencer Belton on 2/20/2020

Way outta date by now. A lot of the code has been deprecated and the course has not been updated recently. The course is good but not a match for newer courses. He also doesn't tell you why you write that line of code. He just expects you to follow along and type what he types. I didn't learn anything new through his course.

By Vivek Manjunath on 1/22/2020

Learning some amazing stuff here. However, the code base is completely outdated and is not updated with current iOS versions.

By Robert Owens on 1/14/2020

yes, now it is time to download and modify and digest what I have learned. you should make another class on this subject

By ruth Wickings on 1/12/2020

good on basics, old swift code so could be updated, badd spelling irritating but still is understandable

By Shane Bolenback on 1/9/2020

I found a few bounds along the way, possibly due to this course using an older version of Xcode and the kits, but other than that, really good.
