Answer 1

dismiss is a method on UIviewController and not on SKScene. However, your scene does have a view property that is its containing view (which is a SKView, which is a UIView, which is a UIResponder). You can use the view's next method inherited from UIResponder to walk up the responder chain until you hit the first view controller (because UIViewController is also a UIResponder): extension UIResponder { func firstParent(ofType type: T.Type ) -> T? { return next as? T ?? next.flatMap { $0.firstParent(ofType: type) } } } //Use in your SKScene like so view?.firstParent(ofType: UIViewController.self)?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
