xcode - SceneKit Update Method for Physics Simulation -


i have played sprite kit , have used update method set things process each time step. i'm trying learn swift scene kit , can't seem find equivalent.

can point me example of implementing update method scenekit? thanks.

(yes, know question scenekit, not spritekit, touches on commonalities , differences between 2 frameworks, i'll address in answer.)

in spritekit, game-loop methods (update, didsimulatephysics, etc) part of scene class skscene. isn't best idea, though — might want treat scene instance more data place implement game logic (especially scenes can built in xcode 6 graphical scene editor). in ios 8 , os x yosemite, methods in 2 places. if you're subclassing skscene per-frame game logic, can keep doing that. if you'd rather put code elsewhere, can set delegate on scene, , implement equivalent skscenedelegate methods there.

scenekit has more of separation of concerns. scnscene closer being pure data-model object, , rendering-loop functionality managed view (or other object) responsible displaying scene. typically display scene in scnview — there other classes can render scenes, too, common api found in scnscenerenderer protocol. use delegate property defined protocol set delegate view, , in delegate can implement scnscenerendererdelegate methods participate in key phases of render loop.

the scenekit loop phases correspond directly in spritekit: update: becomes renderer:updateattime:, didevaluateactions: becomes renderer:didapplyanimationsattime: (because includes coreanimation-style animations spritekit-style actions), etc.

so, scenekit equivalent of spritekit per-frame update method, this:

  1. set 1 of custom objects (say, view controller) delegate of scnview instance.

  2. in custom class, implement following method:

    func renderer(_ arenderer: scnscenerenderer!, updateattime time: nstimeinterval) {     // per-frame code here }

or similar other scnscenerendererdelegate methods if per-frame logic needs happen after actions or physics have been processed.

javascript - RequestAnimationFrame not working when exiting fullscreen switching space on Safari -

request animation frame stops working when exiting fullscreen clicking on original space's safari window. fine if fullscreen mode canceled escape key or calling cancelfullscreen(). steps reproduce: open https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/769042/prezi/safari-fullscreen.html click "draw raf", kittie appears click "fullscreen", go fullscreen click "draw raf", kittie appears go space original safari was, showing "click exit fullscreen mode", click anywhere, out fullscreen click "draw raf", nothing happens what handling click calling: window.requestanimationframe(draw); which draws on canvas context: function draw() { ctx.drawimage(img, math.random()*500|0, math.random()*400|0, 100, 100); } i checked .hidden , .visibilitystate, updated correctly. tested on osx 10.9.3, safari 7.0.4 (9537.76.4). has workaround/solution other switching old settimeout? this sounds webkit bug 88940 : using reque...

postgresql - how to get points from linestring postgis -

i have linestring (0 0 , 2 4 , 5 5); i need output in form : x (1st cell) || y (2nd cell) 0 || 0 2 || 4 5 || 5 and same polygon. how ? you can use st_x , st_y in conjunction st_pointn x , y of individual points, , use generate_series create index each point of linestring, eg, with line (select st_geomfromtext('linestring(0 0, 2 4, 5 5)') geom) select st_x(st_pointn(geom,num)) x, st_y(st_pointn(geom,num)) y line, (select generate_series(1, (select st_numpoints(geom) line)) num) series;

powershell - "Invalid JSON primitive" error when converting JSON file -

(system.argunment.exception) i'm going out on limb here, since didn't provide input data or complete error message, guess problem caused format mismatch between output get-content provides , input convertfrom-json expects. get-content reads input file array of strings, whereas convertfrom-json expects json data in single string. also, piping $json convertfrom-json not change value of $json . change code following , error should disapear (provided there no syntactical error in input data): $json = get-content 'c:\folder1\test.txt' | out-string | convertfrom-json write-output $json
