Recreating Columns in Spritekit - Episode 07: Finding matches 1/2

Welcome to this new series!
In this series we'll recreate the classic game 'Columns' using Swift and SpriteKit. We'll make a game that is playable using gestures in iPhones.

In this episode we start implementing the logic to find matches in the game board. We focus on horizontal and vertical matches this time. And we make sure that after a match, the gems are removed from the board. Next episode we implement diagonal matches.
