Playing sound effects

Playing simple sounds is even easier. We will use SKAction objects to play sounds on specific events, such as picking up a coin or starting the game.

Adding the coin sound effect to the Coin class

First, we will add a happy sound each time the player collects a coin. To add the coin sound effect, follow these steps:

1. Open Coin.swift and add a new property to the Coin class to cache a coin sound action:

           let coinSound =  
               SKAction.playSoundFileNamed("Sound/Coin.aif",  
               waitForCompletion: false)
