Green Ground Color

Hi there,

Somewhere between the last video and this video the green color that was used to test the ground was removed and now we just see the moon (which is, of course, much better!). The code I have for the green color is this:

MVGroundNode *ground = [self spriteNodeWithColor:[SKColor greenColor] size:size];

I have tried changing the spriteNodeWithColor to '''[SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:@"background_1"] size:size]'''

but that doesn't seem to fix it. Any ideas? Thanks!

Just like greenColor there is a clearColor so all you have to do is replace the green with clear.

Ahh, thanks Amit! Now my first game is finished! Yay!

I actually tried ClearColor (along with TransparentColor), but just realized that I had capitalized the C on clear. Silly me.

Thanks again! Such a fun course. . .
