To resize a sprite in SpriteKit, you can adjust the size property of the SKSpriteNode. Here is a simple example in Swift:

import SpriteKit

class GameScene: SKScene {
    override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
        let sprite = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "exampleSprite")
        sprite.position = CGPoint(x: self.frame.midX, y: self.frame.midY)
        
        // Set the initial size of the sprite
        sprite.size = CGSize(width: 100, height: 100)
        
        self.addChild(sprite)
        
        // Resize the sprite after 2 seconds
        let resizeAction = SKAction.resize(toWidth: 200, height: 200, duration: 2.0)
        sprite.run(resizeAction)
    }
}

In this example:

  • We create an SKSpriteNode with an image named "exampleSprite".
  • We set its initial size to 100x100 points.
  • We then create an SKAction to resize the sprite to 200x200 points over 2 seconds and run this action on the sprite.

If you need more detailed information on resizing elements in other contexts, such as SwiftUI or UIKit, you might find the following sessions from WWDC useful:
