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:

  1. Get started with Dynamic Type - This session covers how to handle images and symbols resizing in SwiftUI and UIKit.
  2. Work with windows in SwiftUI - This session discusses resizing windows and their content in SwiftUI.
  3. Dive deep into volumes and immersive spaces - This session explains how to handle resizing of volumes in immersive spaces.

Work with windows in SwiftUI

Work with windows in SwiftUI

Learn how to create great single and multi-window apps in visionOS, macOS, and iPadOS. Discover tools that let you programmatically open and close windows, adjust position and size, and even replace one window with another. We’ll also explore design principles for windows that help people use your app within their workflows.

Get started with Dynamic Type

Get started with Dynamic Type

Dynamic Type lets people choose their preferred text size across the system and all of their apps. To help you get started supporting Dynamic Type, we’ll cover the fundamentals: How it works, how to find issues with scaling text in your app, and how to take practical steps using SwiftUI and UIKit to create a great Dynamic Type experience. We’ll also show how you can best use the Large Content Viewer to make navigation controls accessible to everyone.
