i tried to do the animation when someone on tiktok goes live

have been very slowly learning the foundations of swiftui.

new way of doing tutorials.

learn and then apply next. this one includes button layouts, button with images, alerts and changing of the background

also,

TIL:
- you can declare a string like an array like so
- i thought you can implicitly assume the type of each element of the array as a String, but TIL Character type in Swift

several things:
1) i dont know why but i saw the first one and i was confused about the syntax. didnt realise it was a closure that accepted a DragGesture.Value
2) i mistook the second one for a for..in syntax, another confusion
3) the third one is with formatting

finally finished this tutorial. added some of the challenges in as well.

it's a SwiftUI game which asks the user to spell out all the available words within a word (eg: strike in striker)

the app is supposed to choose whether you win or lose and it’s also supposed to make its own move. i finally got the logic down.

as a side quest, i randomised and made sure the app shows differently each turn

finally got the logic down for this one

simple unit conversion

but autocomplete was confused for awhile there and didnt suggest .percent . here's what chatgpt said about it

Guess the Flag game. SwiftUI progress

the commitment is insane. but as of right now,

mastodon literally just follows people and their content.
twitter’s fyp requires a lot of work
bluesky is almost like the middle ground. their discover feed is meh, getting there tho.
