You can download the completed version of the project using the Download Materials button at the top or bottom of this tutorial.
If you’re interested in adding more features to this game, you could add a way to indicate in the app that there’s a new turn. You’ll receive notifications letting you know there’s a new turn, but in the app Game Center notifications don’t show.
Check out this tutorial on Artificial Intelligence with GameplayKit if you’re interested in adding AI to the game to play solo against the computer.
You can also check out the official Apple Documentation about GameKit to see what else it has to offer.
