Welcome to Part 10 of my blog series about game development.
Today I'll show how to use a delegate pattern to communicate with the ViewController which contains our Scene. You can download the project from GitHub: v0.7 if you haven't completed part 8.
One of the most important characteristics of this pattern is 'Inversion of control'. The goal of this principle is to remove dependencies between objects. The main idea is that a 'delegator' object 'delegates' the execution a task to a 'delegate object'. You can find multiple definitions and tutorials about the Delegate Pattern.
