Does a project have to be created as a sprite kit or can the framework simply be added?

Question

I am taking a step backwards to learn sprite kit for the 2D Games I'm making, as opposed to using UIKit. In all the tutorials I've gone through, they've created the new project as a Sprite-Kit as opposed to single-view. Just wondering if I'll have to recreate my games or if I can simply add the sprite kit framework to my existing project? Thanks.

Answer 1

The framework can simply be added.

Check the Sprite Kit Programming Guide from Apple. Apple is creating their Sprite Kit's example from a Single View Application and then Apple is adding the Sprite Kit framework to the project.
