Day 12: Sporg
This sporg might outlive is all.
This sporg might outlive is all.
Today is an introduction to animation and I’m really looking forward to it.
Today we’ll be looking at easier animations, but tomorrow we’ll progress onto more difficult stuff – it’s a good idea to be aware of both, so you can tackle whatever problems come up in the future.
Today’s post is going to be short because I’m going to be doing some experiments in swift with binding animation and the xcode-beta that I’m running has already crashed twice.
Crank those widgets!
Who are these people who like using 11 point font and why do you hate me?
I’ve been using Big Sur for about a week and it took me until today to realize that I didn’t like the way the new mail looks and feels. Which probably means that I haven’t been checking my email for that week. 👨🏾💻
The apps continue to show more and more of what I can do in Swift and I’m really enjoying the feeling of getting through the challenges.
Obviously I want to get you towards SwiftUI greatness as fast and effectively as possible, but that takes a lot of consistency from you. To be fair, it is already day 31 and you keep coming back, so you’re fulfilling your part of the deal – well done!
What I liked about this particular app is that I had an opportunity to go back to an older project and cherry pick things from that to make this one better. With more experience and understanding, I really reinforced what I was learning.
I wonder how many people are going to use pictures of ☕️ or tea for today’s challenge.
For today’s activity, I started it in the afternoon after a long day. I spent too much time looking up keyboard short cuts to get the Xcode preview to start (command+option+p).
Here are some good links.
After I got that out of my system, I was able to start focusing on the task at hand.
Yes, there will be a fair chunk of practice here, and yes, hopefully this will be an easy project for you. But that shouldn’t stop you from tackling it with gusto – give it your best shot!
After spending 5 minutes with that, I got even more in the weeds and made a video to show something cool with the mini map in Xcode.

Then I settled in and made a really cool app with Paul. It’s exciting to see how all the little pieces come together to make something a lot more.
I think this is a great take away. Learning that these things can be broken into smaller pieces and accomplished.
The sprinkler system at my apartment complex does quite work.
I’m ready for my close up!
