BubblePond is a work-in-progress which explores the use of physics-based interactions of 'bubbles' to trigger sound events. In this case, the bubbles are nodes in a SpriteKit scene, and they can trigger three types of sound events:
- arrival in the scene
- contact with another bubble
- departure from the scene
This demo is part of a broader set of generative music projects I'm working on which use AudioKit on iOS and tvOS, and tone.js for browser-based pieces. More to follow...
This project requires:
- Xcode 10.2
- Swift 5.0
- AudioKit 4.7
It uses CocoaPods to integrate AudioKit and other dependencies.
To take it for a spin:
- Clone the repo
- Run
pod installusing the command line or the CocoaPods app - Open the
BubblePond.xcworkspacefile in Xcode, then build and run
Note that SpriteKit performance in the iOS simulator is not all that great, so running it on an actual iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad is recommended.
