[swift-users] Beginner Questions on IOS Game Programming

[Erica Sadun]

Search around for Objective-C tutorials, and then just apply them in Swift. For much of the game programming, what you're learning are the Cocoa/Cocoa Touch APIs (Foundation, UIKit, SpriteKit, SceneKit, etc) rather than a specific language.

I went through the information at www.swift.org and read much of the language guide.  I see the material on functions, variables, constants, and such, but I did not come across anything on other major subjects, such as user input in an app, playing sounds and perhaps wav files in an app, and similar subjects that are required in many apps and certainly in games. Where can I learn about how to code these types of items.  Is there a more comprehensive guide?  Pardon the elementary level of these questions, but I had to code all of these types of things out in C++.
