Cupcake Project UI

Posted on Thu 22 July 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui, generative-art

Welp, another day of 100 Days of SwiftUI finished. Today was a rough day, hours of meetings. Some of them were important, but it was still exhausting.

Nothing at all new when building the UI for the Cupcake app, so it was a nice easy day there. Meanwhile I did …

More Codable

Yay, another day of 100 Days of SwiftUI wrapped up, and it's not even 10am. I'm going back into the office to do more work on iNat's new vision training server in a bit.

Today in 100 Days of SwiftUI we got back to projects. The section on adding Codable …

Star Wars & Swift

I got another chunk of 100 Days of SwiftUI done today. I also started putting together the parts for the new iNat computer vision training server. It posted on the first try!

No coding today for 100 Days of SwiftUI, just a video to watch. Some of it was a …

Oh man, what a crazy day today. I got another day of 100 Days of SwiftUI done, but the big change for me was having my first day back in the office since before COVID.

I had a lot of fun with the challenge today, but I struggled a little …

Drawing Challenges

Posted on Sun 18 July 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui, generative-art

A wee bit more 100 Days of SwiftUI done today.

The challenges were very straightforward today, perhaps because Paul isn't expecting many people to be interested in 2d drawing. However, since I've been cranking away on this stuff anyways for my own interests in my Generative Art explorations, this coverage …

AnimatableData and Spirographs

Posted on Sat 17 July 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui, generative-art

A bit more 100 Days of SwiftUI finished today.

We covered AnimatableData today, which has already made it across to my Generative Art explorations. In particular, the AnimatedAcrossShapes sketch uses a stack of AnimatablePair structs to stash four animatable CGFloats on a shape. The spirograph was awesome. I had …

More Drawing

Posted on Fri 16 July 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui, generative-art

More 100 Days of SwiftUI done today. I've used CGAffineTransform a little bit, but I'm still not really comfortable with 2d transforms (much less 3d). I guess if I wanna do a lot of drawing with code, I'll have to get comfortable with this.

I don't think I'll have much …

Drawing Project Intro

One more day of 100 Days of SwiftUI done. We're moving into fun and new territory for me. I got my start programming as a kid when I wanted to draw using code in Basic on my Apple //c. I never really got the hang of vector drawing back then …

Moonshot Project Challenges

Posted on Wed 14 July 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui

Another day of 100 Days of SwiftUI finished.

The challenges today were the most involved yet. Partly what's fun about the challenges is that they're becoming less about "remember how to do this thing, and then do it" and more about "which of several ways are you going to do …

Wrapping up the Moonshot Tutorial

Posted on Tue 13 July 2021 in swift • Tagged with swift, swiftui

Work was a little crazy today, but I was able to sneak in a bit of work on 100 Days of SwiftUI.

What was new today? I wasn't aware of Spacer's minLength: parameter which could be useful. And while not related to SwiftUI, the first(where:) method on Array …
