New gaming technologie

SpriteKit

SpriteKit enables developers to create high-performance, battery-efficient 2D games. In iOS 8, we’ve added several enhancements that will make 2D games even better. These new technologies will help in-game characters move more naturally and make it easier for developers to add force fields, detect collisions, and generate new lighting effects in their games.

SceneKit

SceneKit enables developers to render game scenes in 3D and is designed for casual 3D gaming. SceneKit incorporates a physics engine, a particle generator, and easy ways to script the actions of 3D objects. It’s also completely integrated with SpriteKit, so developers can include SpriteKit assets in 3D games.

Metal

Built for developers who create highly immersive console games, Metal is a new technology that will allow them to squeeze maximum performance from the A7 chip. It’s optimized to allow the CPU and GPU to work together to achieve optimal performance. It’s designed for multithreading, and there are great tools for putting it all together in Xcode.

Swift is a programming language introduced by Apple for the conception of the applications and which run on Mac OSX and devices under iOS. Apple conceived Swift to be easy to use while

maintaining the speed and the flexibility of the languages compiled as C ++.Swift has all the power of Objective-C, but without the " liabilities of C ", declared Tim Cook to the

public having presented the axes of comparison which show that the language Swift is faster than Python and more successful than Objective-C.

To spur the next generation of iOS apps, Apple introduce a new programming language: Swift.
