 this week i'm FINALLY going to share + open-source three little random projects I've been working on! here's the first one: BALL it's just a little ball that lives in your dock. take it out, throw it around, put it back. comes in one color: red. it makes a little bouncy sound when it hits the walls of your computer. like all good balls, it also casts a shadow. 5 comments
technically, the Ball is a transparent SpriteKit window with a physics body (the ball). the only remotely interesting thing here is that it animates in/out of its dock icon. you technically can't do this, but you can SORTA guess where the dock icon is, so it SORTA works! anyway, here's the code (plus a pre-built download): stay tuned for project 2 of 3 tomorrow :)   |
