Launch Image

You get an ugly white screen right before the game starts up. Open up LaunchScreen.storyboard and drag in an image view. Pin it to all four sides of the screen:

Change the image to Gradient.png

Now you've replaced that ugly white screen with a nicer looking gradient! :]

I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial on making a game like Stack!

There are many additional features that you could add to the game:

  • Make the Color Change With Height more distinctively
  • Currently, the Camera won't zoom out all the way for certain heights. Change the amount the camera zooms out to fix this.
  • Apply a force to the cut off block to make it spin off the tower
