Swift SpriteKit Collision Detection

import SpriteKit class Scene1: SKScene, SKPhysicsContactDelegate { let collisionBulletCategory: UInt32 = 0x1 << 0 let collisionHeroCategory: UInt32 = 0x1 << 1 let spet = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "batdinger") let spets = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "batdinger") override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {

self.physicsWorld.contactDelegate = self
let borderBody = SKPhysicsBody(edgeLoopFromRect: self.frame)
// 2. Set the friction of that physicsBody to 0
borderBody.friction = 0
// 3. Set physicsBody of scene to borderBody
self.physicsBody = borderBody

physicsWorld.gravity = CGVectorMake(-5, 0)
spets.physicsBody? = SKPhysicsBody(rectangleOfSize: spet.size)
spets.physicsBody?.categoryBitMask = UInt32(collisionHeroCategory)
spets.physicsBody?.dynamic = true
spets.physicsBody?.contactTestBitMask = UInt32(collisionHeroCategory)
spets.physicsBody?.collisionBitMask = 0x0
spets.physicsBody?.allowsRotation = false
spets.physicsBody?.affectedByGravity = false
spets.physicsBody?.friction = 0
spets.physicsBody?.restitution = 1
spets.physicsBody?.linearDamping = 0
spets.physicsBody?.angularDamping = 0
spets.position = CGPointMake(300, 500)

//spet.yScale = 0.5
addChild(spet)
addChild(spets)
backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor()
}

func didBeginContact(contact: SKPhysicsContact)
{
    println("HI")
}

   override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
    let transition = SKTransition.revealWithDirection(SKTransitionDirection.Down, duration: 1.0)
    spet.position = CGPointMake(400, 200)
    let scene = GameScene(size: self.scene!.size)
    scene.scaleMode = SKSceneScaleMode.AspectFill

        //self.scene!.view!.presentScene(GameScene(fileNamed:  "GameScene"), transition: transition)

}

}

I have searched google and any other sources and tutorials for a few hours now, followed them exactly, and even pasted source code from another project to my project, and my collision detection wont work. What's wrong? Is it my code wrong? Am I not calling the 'didBeginContact' function correctly? Please help!
