why don't i have header and implementation files?

when i created a swift spriteKit project, the files aren't the same and i only have the app delegate, game scene.sks - WHAT IS THIS?!, game.scene and gameviewcontroller. Why does Amit have .h and .m files and i don't?

by the way I'm running Xcode 6.1

.h & .m are ObjC files, upon Swift they did away with those files, now if you are combining Swift and ObjC you might need to create a bridging header file, which you can do by creating a new file and asking for a .m file and it should ask if you want a bridging header.

I'm running on the assumption here that you are combining languages since I don't have much info to go on. Cheers.

Hey Mark,

You should be able to use the Objective-C Sprite Kit in Xcode 6 by doing the following:

1 - Open Xcode.

2 - File > New > Project

3 - (Under iOS) Application > (Select) Game > (Click) Next

4 - Fill in the normal information, except under Language:, select Objective-C

5 - After filling out the rest of the information properly, click Next and proceed as normal.

Good luck! -- Kyle
