Over the past year, I have taught myself python stemming from a desire to make a multiplayer game for some of my friends. The process went fairly successfully as I learned the pygame framework and was able to make my game which involved two controllers playing off the same device. However, recently I wanted to branch out and make more sophisticated games in the same genre of local multiplayer. Over the past month, I have been becoming comfortable with swift and developing apps for Apple devices and after learning some basic syntax I feel confident enough to begin working on larger projects. However, I do not know good frameworks that allow me to make local multiplayer games with swift, (SpriteKit). So far I have learned of the Multi Peer connectivity framework, but as I dive deeper into it, it seems to be more geared towards sending data for UI based apps instead of games. I was wondering if any of you experienced folks have any more practical frameworks for building games. All suggestions would be appreciated!
