This is the very same moving background used in the Galactic Paper Battles iOS Game! Check it out to see how it looks in action: http://itunes.apple.com/app/id1417391531
How to use:
• Add the "InfiniteScrollingBackground.swift" file to your project
• Create a InfiniteScrollingBackground instance
• Call the scroll method
• That's it!
Check and run the Xcode project inside the Example_Project folder!
class GameScene: SKScene {
// Declaring the InfiniteScrollingBackground instance:
var scroller : InfiniteScrollingBackground?
override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
// Get your images here:
let images = [
UIImage(named: "bgImage1")!,
UIImage(named: "bgImage2")!
]
// Initializing InfiniteScrollingBackground's instance:
scroller = InfiniteScrollingBackground(images: images,
scene: self,
scrollDirection: .bottom,
transitionSpeed: 3)
// Activating it:
scroller?.scroll()
// (Optional) Changing the instance's zPosition:
scroller?.zPosition = 1
}
}• Use images with a similar aspect ratio to the device's display. Example: If it's running on an iPhone on landscape, try using images with an aspect ratio close to 16:9. If on portrait, use images close to 9:16;
• Remember to set a zPosition after initializing the scrolling background object so it's visible.
• You can use multiple InfiniteScrollingBackground instances at once, on top of each other. Just remember to set the correct zPositions. You can use opaque images and different speeds to give a nice effect.
