SpriteKit Advanced —如何构建2,5D游戏(第二部分) (SpriteKit Advanced — How to build a 2,5D game (Part II))

介绍 (Intro)

This article shows how to write basic shaders in the SpriteKit. It’s split into two parts: first we play, then we learn.

本文介绍如何在SpriteKit中编写基本着色器。它分为两个部分：首先我们玩，然后学习。

It also contains information how to use SKAttribute and SKAttributeValue classes that were added in iOS SDK 10.0.

它还包含有关如何使用iOS SDK 10.0中添加的SKAttribute和SKAttributeValue类的信息。

If you haven’t already read it, here’s part 1 of this article series.

如果您还没有阅读它，请参阅本系列文章的第1部分。

准备项目 (Prepare the project)

Let’s get quick and dirty.

让我们变得快速又肮脏。

Open XCode 8 and create a new project from template: iOS > Game.打开XCode 8，然后从以下模板创建一个新项目：iOS>游戏。
Open the GameScene.sks and remove the label in the center of the screen.

打开GameScene.sks并删除屏幕中心的标签。
Download this and put it inside Assets.xcassets

下载此文件并将其放入Assets.xcassets

Name it “Trees”命名为“树木”
Open the GameScene.m

打开GameScene.m
remove all instance variables删除所有实例变量
remove all methods删除所有方法

片段着色器 (The Fragment Shader)

Now we create an empty fragment shader In XCode:

现在，我们在XCode中创建一个空的片段shader ：

In the Project Navigator select Supporting Files在项目浏览器中，选择“支持文件”
Choose: File > New > File…选择：文件>新建>文件…
Select: Other > Empty选择：其他>空
Name it “myShader.fsh” and press Create.

将其命名为“ myShader.fsh ”，然后按创建。
Put this inside:放在里面：

// currently a boring pass-thru shader void main( void ) { vec4 color = texture2D(utexture, vtexcoord); // here will emerge something worthy glFragColor = color;}

Above fragment shader does nothing perceptible. Quick explanation:

片段shader上方没有任何可察觉的内容。快速说明：

void main()

void main()

this function gets called for each pixel of the sprite and outputs color for that pixel

为精灵的每个像素调用此函数，并输出该像素的颜色

Gets input data from surrounding globals and must set the

从周围的全局变量获取输入数据，并且必须设置

gl_FragColor variable

gl_FragColor变量
vec2, vec3and vec4 are the types similar to C's: float array[2], float array[3] and float array[4]

vec2 ， vec3和vec4与C的类型相似： float array[2] ， float array[3]和float array[4]
u_texture is a texture ID

u_texture是纹理ID

Leave it alone :-)

不要管它：-)
v_tex_coord is a vec2 which contains our current position in texture

v_tex_coord是一个vec2 ，其中包含我们当前的纹理位置
texture2D(tex , p) is a function that returns color from texture tex in point p as vec4

texture2D(tex , p)是一个函数，将point p处纹理tex颜色返回为vec4

which contains rgba

其中包含rgba
gl_FragColor is an output color

gl_FragColor是输出颜色

We must assign it a

我们必须给它分配一个

vec4

vec4

正在加载代码 (Loading code)

What’s left is the loading code.

剩下的就是加载代码。

Open the GameScene.m

打开GameScene.m
add method -didMoveToView:

添加方法-didMoveToView:

- (void)didMoveToView:(SKView *)view {   // 1. load the shader's source from myShaderFile.fsh   NSString *file = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myShader" ofType:@"fsh"];  NSString *sourceString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:file encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];         // 2. create the shader SKShader *shader = [SKShader shaderWithSource:sourceString];       // 3. assign the shader to a newly created sprite node  SKSpriteNode *spriteNode = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:@"Trees"];    spriteNode.shader = shader;        // 4. finally add the sprite to the scene   [self addChild:spriteNode];}

Ensure that myShader.fsh figures in ProjectFile > Target > Build Phases > Copy Bundle Resources!

确保myShader.fsh数字位于ProjectFile>目标>构建阶段>复制捆绑资源中！

You may now run the project on the iOS device. There shall be no errors in the XCode’s console and you should see a screen similar to this below:

您现在可以在iOS设备上运行该项目。 XCode的控制台中应该没有错误，并且您应该看到类似于以下的屏幕：

让我们玩吧！ (Let’s play a bit!)

Now is the fun part. We’ll replace the shader’s main function.

现在是有趣的部分。我们将替换着色器的主要功能。

颜色为红色，保留alpha (Color with red with alpha preservation)

void main( void ){    vec4 color = texture2D(u_texture, v_tex_coord);    float alpha = color.a;    gl_FragColor = vec4(1,0,0, 1.0) * alpha; //google "premultiplied alpha"}

缩小2倍 (Scale down by 2x)

void main( void ){    vec4 color = texture2D(u_texture, v_tex_coord * 2.0);    gl_FragColor = color;}

1秒后交换颜色 (Swap colors after 1 second)

void main( void ){    vec4 color = texture2D(u_texture, v_tex_coord);    float alpha = color.a;    float phase = mod(u_time, 3);    vec3 outputColor = color.rgb;    if (phase < 1.0) {        outputColor = color.bgr;    } else if (phase < 2.0) {        outputColor = color.brg;    }    gl_FragColor = vec4(outputColor, 1.0) * alpha;}

随时间着色 (Colorize over time)

void main( void ){    vec4 color = texture2D(u_texture, v_tex_coord);    float alpha = color.a;    float r = (sin(u_time+ 3.14 * 0.00)+1.0)*0.5;    float g = (sin(u_time+ 3.14 * 0.33)+1.0)*0.5;    float b = (sin(u_time+ 3.14 * 0.66)+1.0)*0.5;    gl_FragColor = vec4(r,g,b, 1.0) * alpha;}

波浪 (Waves)

void main( void ){    float deltaX = sin(v_tex_coord.y*3.14*10 + u_time * 4)*0.01;    vec2 coord = v_tex_coord;    coord.x = coord.x + deltaX;    vec4 color = texture2D(u_texture, coord);    gl_FragColor = color;}

新属性 (New Attributes)

At WWDC 2016 Apple introduced an important update to SpriteKit — the SKAttribute and SKAttributeValue classes.

苹果在WWDC 2016上对SpriteKit进行了重要更新，即SKAttribute和SKAttributeValue类。

Before this SDK update, if we wanted to pass custom parameters into the shader program, we had to pass the data through a uniform value.

在此SDK更新之前，如果我们想将自定义参数传递给shader程序，则必须通过统一值传递数据。

This had two serious drawbacks:

这有两个严重的缺点：

every uniform change caused shader recompilation每次统一更改都会导致着色器重新编译
shader program handled every sprite in the exact same way着色器程序以完全相同的方式处理每个精灵

For example: if we wanted to dye a group of sprites red, and one of them blue, we had two ways. First we create two separate SKShader instances and change our custom myColor uniform.

例如：如果我们想将一组精灵染成红色，而其中一个染成蓝色，则有两种方法。首先，我们创建两个单独的SKShader实例，并更改我们的自定义myColor制服。

Second we make one shader instance and change its uniform which causes a recompilation.

其次，我们制作一个shader实例并更改其统一性，从而导致重新编译。

Both ways cannot be drawn on same pass. And the second one requires complex management code.

两种方法不能同时绘制。第二个要求复杂的管理代码。

SDK 10.0 introduced the SKAttribute and SKAttributeValue classes. These two allow (finally!) passing data to the shader programs without recompilation. The usage algorithm is simple:

SDK 10.0引入了SKAttribute和SKAttributeValue类。这两个允许(最终！)将数据传递到着色器程序，而无需重新编译。用法算法很简单：

The shader part:着色器部分：

Create a shader program

创建一个着色器程序

Create a shader programSKShader

创建一个着色器程序SKShader
Create an array of SKAttributes

创建一个SKAttributes数组
Assign array of attributes to the shader program将属性数组分配给着色器程序

The sprite part:

sprite部分：

Assign the shader program to a sprite将着色器程序分配给精灵
Assign a dictionary of SKAttributeValues

分配SKAttributeValues字典

属性示例 (Example with attributes)

In the last example, we’ll add two more sprites. Every one of them will have the same shader program and will differ only in attributes. Let’s modify the -didMoveToView: inGameScene.m:

在最后一个示例中，我们将再添加两个精灵。它们中的每一个将具有相同的着色器程序，并且仅在属性上有所不同。让我们修改- didMoveToView: inGameScene.m:

- (void)didMoveToView:(SKView *)view {    NSString *file = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myShader" ofType:@"fsh"];    NSString *sourceString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:file encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];    SKShader *shader = [SKShader shaderWithSource:sourceString];        // 1. Add a custom attribute to shader    SKAttribute *attrProgress = [SKAttribute attributeWithName:@"THE_MIGHTY_DARK_FACTOR" type:SKAttributeTypeFloat];    shader.attributes = @[attrProgress];    // 2. Create tree sprites    NSArray *trees = @[                       [self createTreeWithShader:shader mightyFactor:0.3f zPosition:1],                       [self createTreeWithShader:shader mightyFactor:0.6f zPosition:2],                       [self createTreeWithShader:shader mightyFactor:0.9f zPosition:3],                       ];    for (SKSpriteNode *tree in trees) {        [self addChild:tree];    }}- (SKSpriteNode*)createTreeWithShader:(SKShader*)shader mightyFactor:(CGFloat)mightyFactor zPosition:(CGFloat)zPosition {    SKSpriteNode *treeNode = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:@"Trees"];    treeNode.shader = shader;    // 3. Fill the custom attribute on the sprite    treeNode.attributeValues = @{@"THE_MIGHTY_DARK_FACTOR": [SKAttributeValue valueWithFloat:mightyFactor]};    treeNode.zPosition = zPosition;return treeNode;}

… and the shader program:

…和着色器程序：

void main( void ){    vec4 color = texture2D(u_texture, v_tex_coord * (2.5 * THE_MIGHTY_DARK_FACTOR));    float alpha = color.a;    vec3 baseColor = color.rgb * THE_MIGHTY_DARK_FACTOR;    gl_FragColor = vec4(baseColor, 1.0) * alpha;}

... and see the parameterized result!

...并查看参数化结果！

注意事项 (Caveats)

The shader’s source code is typically loaded from a .fsh file to a plain NSString

着色器的源代码通常从.fsh文件加载到纯NSString

This code must compile on the target device during the runtime

此代码必须在运行时在目标设备上编译

no buildtime checks!

没有构建时间检查！
Older devices may use different version of OpenGL ES so beware GLSL syntax differences!

较旧的设备可能使用不同版本的OpenGL ES，因此请注意GLSL语法的不同！

In Raft Challenge’s case there was the need to replace

在Raft Challenge的情况下，需要更换

__constant (valid in OpenGL ES 3.0) to const for OpenGL ES 2.0.

__constant (在OpenGL ES 3.0中有效)以const表示OpenGL ES 2.0。
It’s a good idea to keep a reference to SKShader object somewhere and reuse it as frequently as needed to avoid visible frame rate drop

最好在某个地方保留对SKShader对象的引用，并根据需要重复使用它，以避免可见的帧速率下降

While allocation and shader compilation takes less than 1/60 sec, it may become a huge burden in render loop

虽然分配和着色器编译花费的时间少于1/60秒，但它可能会成为渲染循环中的巨大负担
When using SpriteKit’s Texture Atlases be cautious of vtexcoord

使用SpriteKit的Texture vtexcoord谨慎使用vtexcoord

XCode may rotate some textures which swap

XCode可能会旋转一些交换的纹理

X and Y axis

X和Y轴

X and Y axisColor modification is safe, geometry is not

X和Y轴颜色修改是安全的，几何图形不是

摘要 (Summary)

We learned by examples how to use fragment shaders in the Sprite Kit. We added parameters to sprites so our shader program can render every instance in a different way without any performance loss.

我们通过示例学习了如何在Sprite Kit中使用片段着色器。我们向精灵添加了参数，以便我们的着色器程序可以以不同的方式呈现每个实例而不会造成性能损失。
