In this epic tutorial you'll learn how to make a tasty match-3 game like Candy Crush with SpriteKit and Swift. Now updated for Xcode 7.3 and Swift 2.2. * * * This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at [https://www.raywenderlich.com/1118-how-to-make-a-game-like-candy-crush-with-spritekit-and-swift-part-2](https://www.raywenderlich.com/1118-how-to-make-a-game-like-candy-crush-with-spritekit-and-swift-part-2) ---

I am a little confused by the use of **private** when referring to a property. Your instructions asks for a private property but does not use the `private` keyword and vise versa. Can you clarify the use? Example Go to GameScene.swift and add two **private properties** to the class: `var swipeFromColumn: Int?` `var swipeFromRow: Int?` In Level.swift, add a new property: `private var possibleSwaps = Set()` Thanks ---

Hey :] Nicely spotted! This is a typo and I’ll fix it straight away – the properties should be `private` :] ---

I’ve been implementing this step-by-step in Swift 2.3. You listed output at one point as: ``` possible swaps: [ swap type:SugarCookie square:(6,5) with type:Cupcake square:(7,5): true, swap type:Croissant square:(3,3) with type:Macaroon square:(4,3): true, swap type:Danish square:(6,0) with type:Macaroon square:(6,1): true, swap type:Cupcake square:(6,4) with type:SugarCookie square:(6,5): true, swap type:Croissant square:(4,2) with type:Macaroon square:(4,3): true, ``` However, I have not been able to find in the code how you outputted the “true” anywhere. I even downloaded your code at this stage, but unless I’m going blind, I don’t see it. Thanks for this tutorial, by the way (and thanks to the original blogger as well). Learning a lot! ---

Hey @azcoder :] Thanks for your comment. You’re right – the `true` should be removed from the output. I’ll fix it straight away. Hope you’ll enjoy the rest of the series. Also note that the tutorial series was updated for Swift 3 (just in case you’re still using 2.3) :] ---

Thanks, Morten! Yes, I haven’t migrated my environment to Swift 3 yet, so I’ve been revising your code for Swift 2.3 compatibility. This is helping me see what changes I’ll need to be aware of when I do change over. 😀 ---

Sounds good :] Let me know if you need the Swift 2 version for any of the parts – I still have that stored locally from before I updated the series to Swift 3. ---

Great tutorial! I am having an issue in the touchesMoved method. It is telling me that locationInNode has been renamed to location(in:), and then right below that where I declare (success, column, row) = convertPoint(location), I get the error Argument labels ‘(\_:)’ do not match any available overloads. ---

@bush that is something that changed in **Swift 3.0.1!** You can easily click on the first error and then on “fix it”. Swift will change it to Swift 3.0.1 syntax. The “Argument labels” error can be fixed by replacing **convertPoint(location)** with **convertPoint(point: location)**. By the way, this tutorial is really great! Thanks a lot! The complete function: > override func touchesMoved(\_ touches: Set, with event: UIEvent?) { > guard swipeFromColumn != nil else { return } > > ``` > guard let touch = touches.first else { return } > let location = touch.location(in: cookiesLayer) > > let (success, column, row) = convertPoint(point: location) > if success { > > var horzDelta = 0, vertDelta = 0 > if column < swipeFromColumn! { // swipe left > horzDelta = -1 > } else if column > swipeFromColumn! { // swipe right > horzDelta = 1 > } else if row < swipeFromRow! { // swipe down > vertDelta = -1 > } else if row > swipeFromRow! { // swipe up > vertDelta = 1 > } > > if horzDelta != 0 || vertDelta != 0 { > trySwap(horizontal: horzDelta, vertical: vertDelta) > > swipeFromColumn = nil > } > } > } > > ``` ---

This tutorial is more than six months old so questions regarding it are no longer supported for the moment. We will update it as soon as possible. Thank you! :] ---
