You may get the assumption that penguins are not my favorite animals. First you had to hit them, now you have to slice them in order to win the game. You’re intuition proves you wrong. Basically this one is a game like “Fruit Ninja” but with penguins and bombs. Each sliced penguin gives you a point in your score, every missed penguin subtracts one of three lifes and if you catch a bomb the game is over immediately. It has also a level system. The more penguins you catch, the harder the level gets and the more penguins will appear at ones. I added…

But since climate is changing are penguins hiding in burrows. It’s my second time using SpriteKit. All the parts of Whack-a-Penguin are images that lay over each other.

I implemented SpriteKit the first time for this game. SpriteKit is Apple’s fast and easy toolkit designed specifically for 2D games. The game I did is called Pachinko or “Peggle”. I inserted the background, placed the rainbow bouncers on their place and added red and green slot bases that would later count the score. They are programmed to spin which gives them a fun animation. First the balls just fell wherever I click and didn’t disappear in the slot bases. I gave the slot bases values – either a negative point for red or positive one for green. I also gave the condition that when ball touches the base they…
