SOLVED: Project26 from 100 Days of Swift (UIKit) error - Cannot find 'addChild' in scope

I'm working on project 26 and got it all working but then I decided to move all the code that dealt with creating a level into its own struct.

Now, I get a compiler error on all the 'load' methods when calling addChild(node). I've searched around but wasn't able to find anything that explained this or how to fix it. I even tried chatGPT but it was no help.

What am I doing wrong?

Here is a gist of the struct

The calls to addChild() should be inside your game scene, because that's where the method exists. Structs generally work best when they store simple, inert data, rather than trying to take action in your game.

Thanks. I ended up removing the addChild() calls in the struct and then just created the nodes in my game scene by looping through an array created in the struct.
