/**
 
 # Testing GKSKNodeComponent
 
 Apple documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/gameplaykit/gksknodecomponent
 
 A GKSKNodeComponent is a special class of component that contains a node by default.
 When a GKSKNodeComponent is added to an entity, the `node.entity` property of the node is automatically assigned.
 Whereas if we use a regular GKComponent with a node inside it, we must assign that property manually inside `didAddToEntity` and `willRemoveFromEntity`.
 Note that in both cases, the SpriteKit scene must hold a strong reference to the entity in order to retrieve it.

Intuitive camera control in SpriteKit

I'm implementing multi-touch camera control in SpriteKit using UIKit gesture recognizers, and I have troubles making pan and rotate work intuitively together.

From a user interface perspective, the goal is:

• A pan gesture moves the scene as you'd expect, adjusting for camera rotation.
• A pinch gesture scales the scene as you'd expect, with the camera zooming in and out from the midpoint of the gesture, not the view center.
• A rotation gesture should rotate the scene as if it were a piece of paper that you manipulate with two fingers. The gesture midpoint at the start of the rotation defines the rotation pivot.

/**
 
 # ChainCIFilter.swift
 
 In Apple SpriteKit, you can use Core Image filters to add effects to nodes of type `SKEffectNode`, including the scene itself.
 However, the built-in SpriteKit API only takes one filter at a time, and the output can crash SpriteKit's renderer if the result exceeds Metal texture size limit.
 
 This custom `CIFilter` sub-class provides a solution for both issues:
 - You can run multiple filters on the same effect node.
 - The size of the generated output is checked against a size limit, and is sent to SpriteKit only if the limit is not exceeded.
