I’m happy to report that although I did not have much time this weekend to devote to game development, I was able to create a new SpriteKit Scene file, lay down a new tile map grid, and position my character sprite in the new level.

The player sprite I made with Aseprite which is a very cheap yet very capable sprite editor.   I had to watch this video on how to make it transparent.  Teach yourself!
