Connecting an SKLabelNode to a game over SKScene label text

Question

I have an SKLabelNode that increments by one point every time my player touches an object:

let scoreLabel = childNodeWithName("points") as! Points
scoreLabel.increment()

However, I have an SKScene that pops up when my player hits an enemy. In the SKScene, I have labels set up for "High score", regular scoring and a tap to play again:

score.text = String(format: "%d", pointsLabel)
highScore.text = String(format: "%d", pointsLabel) //more of this code is in my GameScene

How do I connect the points label and highscore label with the pointsLabel() SKLabelNode to make the score and high score show up in my SKScene? Will post more code if necessary.

Answer 1

If you want to share the score among several scenes you can save the value with NSUserDefaults.

Saving

let score = 123
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setInteger(score, forKey: "score")

Reading

let score = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().integerForKey("score")
