SpriteKit-Spring
================

SpriteKit-Spring is a set of extensions to perform spring animations with SpriteKit.

## Installation

### iOS 7

If you need to support iOS 7, you can just drop [SpriteKit-Spring.swift](SpriteKit-Spring.swift) in your project.

### iOS 8

If you support iOS 8 only, you can install SpriteKit-Spring as a framework with [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org) (version 0.36 or above) by adding the following lines to your ```Podfile```:

```
use_frameworks!

pod 'SpriteKit-Spring'
```

You then need to import SpriteKit-Spring wherever you want to use it:

#### Swift:
```swift
import SpriteKit_Spring
```
#### Objective-C:
```objective-c
#import
```

## Usage

In iOS 7, Apple introduced spring animations in UIKit by adding a new animation method on UIView (see [WWDC video](https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2014/#221) and [UIView documentation](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIView_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/UIView/animateWithDuration:delay:usingSpringWithDamping:initialSpringVelocity:options:animations:completion:)).

This library replicates this feature by adding a spring variant to most factory methods of SKAction. The parameters ```usingSpringWithDamping:``` and ```initialSpringVelocity:``` have the same meaning as their UIKit counterpart. See below for examples.

## Examples

### Move

```swift
let move = SKAction.moveByX(0, y: 200,
duration: 5, delay: 5,
usingSpringWithDamping: 0.2, initialSpringVelocity: 0)

node.runAction(move)
```

### Scale

```swift
let scale = SKAction.scaleXTo(2, y: 0.5,
duration: 5, delay: 5,
usingSpringWithDamping: 0.2, initialSpringVelocity: 0)

node.runAction(scale)
```

### Rotate

```swift
let rotate = SKAction.rotateByAngle(CGFloat(M_PI/2),
duration: 5, delay: 5,
usingSpringWithDamping: 0.2, initialSpringVelocity: 0)

node.runAction(rotate)
```

## Notes

- Because they use ```customActionWithDuration:actionBlock:```, none of these actions is reversible (the reverse action performs the same animation).
- All these factory methods are based on the lower level ```animateKeyPath:byValue:duration:delay:usingSpringWithDamping:initialSpringVelocity:``` and ```animateKeyPath:toValue:duration:delay:usingSpringWithDamping:initialSpringVelocity:``` methods, which can animate any CGFloat key path. If you have a SKNode subclass with a fancy CGFloat property that you'd like to animate, feel free to use these methods!
