Usage

Create a color button

class Scene: SKScene {
    ...
    override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
        let button = SKColorButton(name: SKDirectionalPadButtons.upButton.rawValue, color: padColor, size: padSize)
        button.listener = self
        self.addChild(button)
    }
}
extension Scene: SKColorButtonTouchesListener {
    func buttonTouched(button: SKColorButton, withState state: SKColorButtonTouchEvent) {
        // Do something when the button is touched.
    }
}

SKDirectionalPadButtons is a convenience enumeration for conventional d-pad button. It is recommended to use rawValues from the enum to define d-pad button.

• Implement protocol SKColorButtonTouchesListener method to receive notification of the button's touch events.

Remember to set the listener of the button!

Create an on-screen d-pad

class Scene: SKScene {
    ...
    override func didMove(to view:SKView) {
        let dpad = SKDirectionalPad(padColor: UIColor.blue, padSize: CGSize(width: 100, height: 100))
        // This will position the dpad at the bottom left of the screen while taking care of the safe area insets of new iPhone X.
        dpad.setPositionToBottomLeft(view)
        dpad.delegate = self
        self.addChild(dpad)
    }
}
extension Scene: SKDirectionalPadDelegate {
    func upPadEventTriggered(eventState state: SKColorButtonTouchEvent) {
        // Do something when up button is touched.
        // repeated this for other buttons.
    }
}
