There is change in the wind. And they call the wind Mariah. Do you see how those butterflies in Brazil have been flapping faster?
Let me explain. With Apple iOS 8 there could be big changes to programming arrangements, and it could be that you need to study Swift (is a Google search in order?). But we are still in the here and now, and today’s tutorial is about Objective C, the current iOS language of choice.
Today we just do some simpler OOP work and create two pared down classes called Player and Game. In the main function of our Xcode Objective-C OS-X Foundation project’s main.m source code, we create two Player objects (an object is the instantiation of a class), and this has to be done, for our arrangements, if you expect to be able to play a Game … though some people say “Solitaire’s the only game in town …” the more verbose (amongst us) go …
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
And solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it’s easy to pretend
He’ll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing solitaire
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it kills
Goes without saying
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he’s playing
And solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it’s easy to pretend
He’ll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing solitaire
And solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing solitaire
As you can see no matter what the future brings mobile iOS wise, desktop applications in Objective-C can be used to perform that software functionality you need … how ARE you going with that unobtrusive percolator as you swing out of bed “timed to perfection” idea you started 7 years ago?
Hope you get something out of today’s tutorial. We give thanks to Objective-C by Steven Holzner for the gist of the coding ideas presented today.
