Authenticate GameKit local player using swift

Im looking to migrate a game over to swift, the only trouble I am having is with blocks/closures. It's the syntax I just don't understand, whereas in Objective C I would use:

GKLocalPlayer *localPlayer = [GKLocalPlayer localPlayer];
localPlayer.authenticateHandler = ^(UIViewController *viewController, NSError *error){
    if (viewController != nil) {
        [self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
    }
}

etc.etc. but I'm not sure how to go about doing the same in Swift. I know it's simple but I just can't get it to work, even after reading the Swift book and googling answers myself. I'm only a hobbyist programmer so I'm far from perfect at all this.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Solution

  • This is how you would do it in Swift:

    var localPlayer = CGLocalPlayer.localPlayer()
localPlayer.authenticateHandler = {(viewController : UIViewController!, error : NSError!) -> Void in
    //handle authentication
}

    The documentation for closures can be found here.
