Trying to add a press state

Really wanting to darken the tiles on touch down but can't for the life of me find anything online about how to do it. Note: I've found a bunch of stuff that helps but everyone on Stack Overflow does everything programmatically, not through storyboards, so it doesn't totally translate (at least for a noob like me).

Any help here?

What type of tile is it? UIView or UIImageView? If you can share some code I maybe able to help you.

Hey Aaron – it's a UIImage with a Tap Gesture Recognizer on it. Can't seem to find a way to capture touch down. Thanks!

Try this:

//Create the TapGesture
  let singleTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("tapped"))
        singleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1

//Setting the TapGesture to the UILabelView
yourLabelNameHere.addGestureRecognizer(singleTap)
        yourLabelNameHere.userInteractionEnabled = true

//Creating a function to change the color of the UILabel on Tap.
func tapped() {

        println("Game Started")

 yourLabelNameHere.backgroundColor = UIColor(hex: "F0972C")

    }
