Hi Luis,

It uses Swift. Here's the ISBN number 978-0989675161

Treehouse has a course about building a game with Sprite kit. There is also a book that teaches games through tutorials called iOS Games by Tutorials and it uses sprite kit. Either of those would be a good starting point.

Hello Traci,

I just started learning how to code with swift. I really want to start building games but the sprite kit tutorial recommends to know objective C. Does the book explain Sprite Kit with Objective C or Swift?

The best book I found is "Learn SpriteKit" by Jamie Brennan. It has an actual complete game to download after getting the book. I created a pretty cool game with it.

It can be found here: http://2dgameworld.com/learn-spritekit/

Good luck!
