yuukiii submitted a fork that updated this code to recent versions of Swift. Would you mind merging his changes into yours? (I don't know if he submitted a PR from his fork or not. If not, you could always merge the changes yourself and credit him with the updates.

I did not see the fork and manually updated the code to Swift 5 syntax myself, which is tedious and a little tricky.

I would love a PR for this.
