Sprite Kit NSArray of multiple sprites? - nsmutablearray

Question

I have 6 sprite images I am trying to add to my scene, adding each of them seems to slow everything down a lot. I figured I would need to create an NSArray in order to help with speed. Here is the array I've created, but it's only adding the first image, how can I get it to add all 6?? Thank you in advance!
myArray
NSArray *myArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"image1",#"image2",#"image3",#"image4",#"image5",#"image6", nil];
NSInteger count = [myArray count];
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
if (i > 5) {
break;
}
result = [myArray objectAtIndex:i];
}
//Setting SKSpriteNodes from array.
dice = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:[myArray objectAtIndex:result.intValue]];

Answer 1

Define a property in you scene:
#interface MyScene
#property (nonatomic) NSMutableArray *items;
#end
Then create a method to fill that array:
- (void)fillItems {
for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
SKSpriteNode *d1 = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:#"Sprite1"];
d1.position = CGPointMake(self.frame.size.width/4 + arc4random() % ((int)self.frame.size.width/2),
self.frame.size.height/2 + arc4random() % ((int)self.frame.size.height/2));
d1.color = [self randomColor];
d1.colorBlendFactor = 1.0;
d1.xScale = 0.25;
d1.yScale = 0.25;
d1.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithRectangleOfSize:d1.frame.size];
//Adding SpriteKit physicsBody for collision detection
d1.physicsBody.categoryBitMask = diceCategory;
d1.physicsBody.dynamic = YES;
d1.physicsBody.contactTestBitMask = frameCategory;
d1.physicsBody.collisionBitMask = diceCategory | frameCategory;
d1.physicsBody.usesPreciseCollisionDetection = YES;
d1.name = #"Sprite1";
[self.items addObject:d1];
[self addChild:d1];
}
