So, Currently I have a game that i’ve made in sprite kit and have used this way of fitting everything to the screen size:
buyButton = SKSpriteNode(texture: SKTexture(imageNamed: "BuyButton"), color: .clear, size: CGSize(width: frame.maxX / 2.9, height: frame.maxY / 10))
buyButton.position = CGPoint(x:-frame.maxX + frame.midX*2, y: -frame.maxY + frame.midY*1.655)
addChild(buyButton)
as you can see it uses the frame to calculate the width and height along with the position of the node on the scene, this works with all screen sizes that I have been using from the 6s to the 8 Plus. but when it comes to the iPhone X there is a problem with it. it seems to stretch everything because of the screen size being bigger and oddly shaped as you can see below compared to the iPhone 8 Plus
I’ve been looking for solutions to this problem but none have really helped or just even make it worse and I couldn’t understand how to programmatically use the safe area layout in my sprite kit project like in this solution here
My Question is
How do I go about getting everything to fit in the iPhone X’s screen so that it fits and isn’t cutting off the score labels and stuff I have in the top right corners?
EDIT 2:
itemDescriptionLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: frame.maxX - 150, y: frame.maxY - 130 , width: frame.maxX / 0.7, height: frame.maxY / 3.5))
itemDescriptionLabel.font = UIFont(name: "SFCompactRounded-Light", size: 17)
itemDescriptionLabel.text = "This purchase stops all the popup ads that happen after a certain amount of time playing the game from showing up."
itemDescriptionLabel.numberOfLines = 4
itemDescriptionLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
self.scene?.view?.addSubview(itemDescriptionLabel)
EDIT 3
EDIT 4
let safeAreaInsets = yourSpriteKitView.safeAreaInsets;
buyButton.position = CGPoint(x:safeAreaInsets.left - frame.maxX + frame.midX*2, y: safeAreaInsets.top - frame.maxY + frame.midY*1.655)
EDIT 5
screenWidth = self.view!.bounds.width
screenHeight = self.view!.bounds.height
coinScoreLabel = Score(num: 0,color: UIColor(red:1.0, green: 1.0, blue: 0.0, alpha: 1), size: 50, useFont: "SFCompactRounded-Heavy" ) // UIColor(red:1.00, green:0.81, blue:0.07, alpha:1.0)
coinScoreLabel.name = "coinScoreLabel"
coinScoreLabel.horizontalAlignmentMode = .right
//coinScoreLabel.verticalAlignmentMode = .top
coinScoreLabel.position = CGPoint(x: screenWidth / 2.02, y: inset.top - screenHeight / 2.02)
coinScoreLabel.zPosition = 750
addChild(coinScoreLabel)
I tried it on another SpriteNode that I have such as this one below, which it worked for I have no idea why the yellow label is doing this.
playButton = SKSpriteNode(texture: SKTexture(imageNamed: "GameOverMenuPlayButton"), color: .clear, size: CGSize(width: 120, height: 65))
playButton.position = CGPoint(x: inset.right - frame.midX, y: inset.bottom + frame.minY + playButton.size.height / 1.7)
playButton.zPosition = 1000
deathMenuNode.addChild(playButton)
It came out like this which is perfect:
You can get margins through your view's safeAreaInsets
. The insets will be zero on most devices, but non-zero on the iPhone X.
For example replace your line with this:
let safeAreaInsets = yourSpriteKitView.safeAreaInsets;
buyButton.position = CGPoint(x:safeAreaInsets.left - frame.maxX + frame.midX*2, y: safeAreaInsets.top - frame.maxY + frame.midY*1.655)
