SpriteKit is a graphics rendering and animation infrastructure that you can use to animate arbitrary textured images, otherwise known as sprites. SpriteKit provides a traditional rendering loop that alternates between determining the contents of and rendering frames. You determine the contents of the frame and how those contents change. SpriteKit does the work to render that frame efficiently using graphics hardware. SpriteKit is optimized for applying arbitrary animations or changes to your content. This design makes SpriteKit more suitable for games and apps that require flexibility in how animations are handled.

SpriteKit Physics Collisions demonstrates how to use collision masks and contact masks to create interactions between different game objects. Movement within the game simulation is also performed using the physics subsystem. When a player presses keys on the keyboard, forces are applied to the spaceship to move it within the simulation. Many of the techniques in this sample are also applicable when writing Sprite Kit apps for iOS.
