A little known secret (apparently) is that Cocos2D and SpriteBuilder have an actual developer guide that covers a lot of basics and advanced stuff alike.
The only problem with it is that it’s not well-known, hence this post. I’m hoping to bump it in the Google search results by posting and tweeting it, so if you could do the same that would be really appreciated!
Here’s the link to the SpriteBuilder & Cocos2D Developer Guide:

Cocos2D Swift Examples
Also, let it be known that the developer guide has Cocos2D example code in both Swift and Objective-C.
