As simple as this question may seem, I just couldn't figure it out. To the overflow community, I am using sprite kit to create a simple game, However when you lose the game I want to programmatically segue back to another viewController (basically the home screen). from The game scene I do not get access to "performSegueWithIdentifier" I've seen a couple answers that relate to this topic however non of them are in swift ... Any solutions? links of related questions include : Link1 Thank You

I think you are misunderstanding SKViews. SKViews are just like a normal UIViews, they take place within a normal ViewController. You will therefore need to segue from the ViewController which is presenting your SKView.

I have the same issue in a game I have created (Ninja-Shooter). In my game, whenever I want to segue back the home screen I pass a value to NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults(). Then in my ViewController I am constantly listening for any change in that value, if the value does change, then I perform a segue.

Hope this helps!

  • I see what you mean by what an SKView is , but what function can allow you to constantly listen for changes in value in your view controller ? @Alex – Chris Mazile Jun 09 '15 at 17:08
  • http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21916702/go-back-to-view-controller-from-skscene this link actually describes exactly what I wish to accomplish, can anyone translate to swift? – Chris Mazile Jun 09 '15 at 19:03
  • Admittedly mine is a poor implementation (I am still relatively new to Swift), I have a function which runs every 0.1 second which checks if the value has changed – Alex Chesters Jun 10 '15 at 06:42

I have discovered that using NSNotification Center Can in fact derive the results I was looking for. If any one in the future needs detailed code I will edit to provide that
