How to implement a space shooter with SpriteKit and SWIFT - Part 5: Particles and Sound

Adding particles and sound 




Welcome to part 5 of my tutorial series. In the previous parts we've created a sprite, added movement, created enemies which follow our sprite, added bullets, a HUD, collision detection, .... 
But, for a real game some important elements are missing to beautify the game:
  • Sound effects: explosions, game over, ...
  • Particle effects: explosions, background star field 

I'll show how to implement this today. As a starting point you can download the code from tutorial part 4 here
