Another day of 100 Days of SwiftUI wrapped up today. I'm at day 75, and I'm already starting to think about what to work on next. I'm trying to decide between Tensorflow, SpriteKit & Metal, or maybe ARKit. I suppose I need to learn all 3 to get where I'm going …

Accessibility

Posted on Sat 21 August 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui, generative-art

One more 100 Days of SwiftUI done today. Cool to see accessibility treated in 100 Days of SwiftUI, but I wonder if treating it as an afterthought is really the best approach.

Today's image is another moire sketch, from the Generative Design book.

BucketList Challenges

Trying to pull myself together for another 100 Days of SwiftUI this afternoon. Nothing much exciting, just a few challenges.

More from the Generative Design book today. Another moire sketch, this time with overlapping rects of parallel lines.

Comparable

Slowly getting back into the rhythym with 100 Days of SwiftUI after a break. I tackled Day 71 yesterday where we add Comparable conformance to a Codable struct and downloaded some data from Wikipedia.

Unfortuately, I'm running into a bug where the simulator freezes every minute or two due to …

Catching Up

It’s been about a week since I’ve posted. I’ve managed to mostly stay on top of my 100 Days of SwiftUI work but I have to be honest. I’ve been too drained from family stuff to deal with blogging. Sometimes life just sucks.

I’ve not …

Another day of 100 Days of SwiftUI wrapped up today. It was a pretty easy day today, we used what we learned the past few days to get the Instafilter app UI and basic functionality working.

Here's a sketch from the Generative Design book. More rotating rects, this time with …

Coordinators and PHImagePickerController

Posted on Sat 07 August 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui, generative-art

Some more 100 Days of SwiftUI finished today. I've used SwiftUI coordinators a few times before, but I think I need some more practice before I'm really comfortable with the pattern. I extended the session by layering in basic support for PHImagePickerController.

A sketch from the Generative Design book today …

Core Image, plus Core Data & Codable

Posted on Fri 06 August 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui, generative-art

Another day of 100 Days of SwiftUI on the books. The UIViewControllerRepresentable stuff I'd done and seen before, but using Core Image filters was new to me. I feel like there's some wizardry to Core Image that'd help with my art stuff, but the learning curve is pretty steep. Kinda …

Custom Bindings

Posted on Thu 05 August 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui, generative-art

First day back on 100 Days of SwiftUI after a cracking Hacking with Swift: Live! conference. I was inspired by the talks but also by my fellow attendees!

Today we covered some basics for how @State actually wraps a value, and peeked under the hood at how to wrap the …

Hacking with Swift Live!

Posted on Thu 05 August 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui, generative-art

I got nothing done for 100 Days of SwiftUI the past few days, because I was attending Hacking with Swift: Live! all week. Tons of coverage of the new concurrency stuff in Swift 5.5, and a great community. It was a wonderful event, and it was nice to have …
