Sprite Kit Table View

Question

I'm trying to build a scrolling table of game center scores in an SKScene. Is there a way to use sprite kit and storyboards/xibs? [self addChild:customTable] on an SKScene doesn't seem to work.

Answer 1

UIKit elements like UITableView, UIView, etc cannot be used as children of SpriteKit nodes. You can place a UITableView on top of a SKView/UIView but that comes out as crude. I would suggest you use a normal UIViewController to display your Game Center scores.

However, if you still need to display the scores using SpriteKit, there is a component called ScrollNode which might do the trick. You can find it here.
