sprite kit - Go from SKView back to UIView

Question

I have two parts to my project. Part one is made in the storyboard, and the second is an SKView. How can I go from my second part in the SKView back to the main UIView?

Answer 1

1. Create custom ViewController: File - New - File - Objective-C class. Enter a name: GameSceneViewController. Subclass of UIViewController.

2. Override viewWillAppear method:

   -(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
       [super viewWillAppear:animated];
   
       GameScene *scene = [[GameScene alloc] initWithSize:self.view.bounds.size];
       scene.scaleMode = SKSceneScaleModeAspectFill;
   
       [self.skView presentScene:scene];
   }
   

   skView property will be an IBOutlet for SKView. Also make sure you've imported SpriteKit framework:

   #import <SpriteKit/SpriteKit.h>
   

3. Add new ViewController to the storyboard.

4. In the Identity inspector enter a custom class for the added ViewController: GameSceneViewController

   

5. Add a subview to a root view:

   

6. In the Identity inspector enter a custom class for the added View: SKView

   

7. Create an IBOutlet for the added SKView.

Now you should be able to use segues for switching between ViewControllers
