Nowhere in my documentation trail is there a set of instructions that specify how to forward this .xcodeproj file. So, just give me that info.

Jason, I provided a link to my extended back and forth with Justin. Quite frankly I believe that info is more than adequate. Nevertheless if you insist on my xcodeproj I have it here for you

Here she is … https://apps.apple.com/app/monster-paddle-pong/id1670409052

(1) playerPosY and playerHeight are = Double (2) SwiftUI ( I think? But, I do call import SpriteKit, GameController, + QuartzCore for various other needs ) (3) if Double(playerPosY - playerHeight/2) <= -(roomHeight/2 - kFudge) DOES! compile (4) I gotta say all this is very mysterious to me

AND NO Error anywhere when you use the above if (false) silliness.

Ditto for using UIDevice.device.name

HORRAY! HOORAY! Set myScene.scaleMode = .resizeFill PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

In my OP, I call trackPath = UIBezierPath(ovalIn: trackRect) instead of adding lines and curves to create a UIBezierPath from scratch. Is this a problem?

I am not ignoring you ... I'm just trying to absorb the mountain of information out there on "pivot". Right now, myTrain is a child of my master GameViewController. From what I have learned so far is that this "pivot" in my case is a created intermediate parent between myTrain and the above GameViewController. So, I let this pivot rotate to its heart's content, but its child = myTrain won't pivot because its zRotation = 0. Hopefully this is correct .. but I am not 100% certain ??

Up till now, I have been concentrating on building a new UIBezierPath with rotation of the UIDevice. I came across a set of routines that make an existing UIBezierPath fit into a new cgPath.boundingBox. So, I will travel down that road for a bit and see where it leads me.

I am definitely ready to cry "Uncle" ...

Won't let me select my .zip file

Stupid ole me .. just reply to your email .. sometimes my stupidity amazes me.

It is 100% certain that I appreciate your wonderful generosity about crediting my TSI count. Clearly, I won't turn it down .. but this is the 1st of my last 2 challenges that I (we) need to solve before I Archive and submit to your App Store. You will see the very last problem in all its infamy when you Run this App in Xcode - that rotated Train (SKSpriteNode) which is described here: My very last challenge

Here’s another link to my very last challenge. I provide this for the singular reason that stackoverflow allows showing pics to help diagnose problems. For this last challenge pics definitely help. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77903234/why-does-orient-path-true-cause-the-sprite-node-to-rotate-cw-when-the-path-is
