*BONUS ENTRY* SwiftUI Mini Project - Part 2

So no need to make excuses - it's been a pretty mental time! Lots of positives but not going into detail now. The thing with coding is that I am continually frustrated with my lack of probes and the fact that I can't put in as much as time as I'd ideally like. At some point I need to do a review and set some goals. This always seems to come around but like I said, can't be helped. 

 Last time it was a mini project, putting into practice some bits of SwiftUI. I am going to do one more session, trying out some more about properties, or other types of options to use with SwiftUI. Then I will be resuming with Ray's websites, checking out some of the new content added there. Having paid for the whole year, there's less pressure to make the most of the content each month. However, that doesn't mean I shouldn't be using it at all - like a gym membership mentality! I'm on the train while doing this by the way and will aim for approx an hour. Let's go!

Start Time - 09:09 

OK, let's look at where we got to before - getting another window of my blog up...

We managed to get a toggle view that looked like this -



It looked cool! Of course I could play around with some properties some more. Let's refresh things by trying out changes to font, colours, size etc....

While that's loading let's look at what else we realistically want to achieve.

-An option to click on each driver and pull up some information.

Delays for approx 5 minutes.

OK, cool! I've played around with some properties including making the font bigger.

I'm not even going to try to understand the proxy stuff! That's something to come back to when I have a deeper understanding. The rest of it seems OK. So that last bit is to be able to click on each item. Let's see what Laurie did before.....

Before that I have reindented the code (control and I). Ctrl + i.

Cool! I have gotten the driver details bits, which brings up the name, image then key info under. I've only got championships and wins at the moment. So am adding in races, poles, fastest laps...

Right! So we're pretty much done! I've borrowed a lot of code from Laurie to get the idea of having various different structs etc. I have to stop in a moment, which is fine as I've had a great play around with the code. I won't pretend I understand it all, so I think I will need one entry to carefully analyse each step and what it all means. This will do for now!



 So each time a driver is clicked, this comes up! Awesome stuff and mission successful! Also, one more entry to sort out some formatting etc.

Finish time - 10:17

*Xcode Project Entry 2* F1 Quiz - part 1

Image
It's Christmas Eve and time to code! To think, a year ago, I was plodding along with some eBook, blindly convincing myself that I was on a steady road to coding greatness. Really, it was from June where I made the decision to start again, humbling as that may seem. It would have been comforting to have completed endless 'beginner' courses but branching out and applying the theory is the key thing, which brings us to this entry. Yes, my second Xcode OWN project! I thought about doing an educational one, as there is certainly a lot of scope and relevance for that, being a teacher and all. However, making a quiz makes sense, for various reasons.  First off, I have made this before through Angela's excellent tutorial. No offence to Sandra, but hers is not even close to the elegance and effectiveness of Angela's project. The one thing to take from Sandra is the stack views. Definitely something I will use from now on. This is one of the great things about learning from...

Angela Yu Course Part 10 (up to lesson 112)

It's unlikely that I'll be able to do any Swift tomorrow as I'm going to Eastbourne today, for the weekend. So I can give half an hour now, maximum! Coding Challenge - Destini App! Choose your own adventure books! I used to ADORE these. Angela explains that these have had some sort of revival through the Lifeline games. It's very binary - yes/no mostly. I have my own experience of this based on WDC... Now the challenge is to complete the game! Having followed the first few instructions, which I found a bit confusing it must be said, I was about to surrender and see the answer. Then I managed to stop myself - I CAN do this, or at least have a good go! Even if I don't get the correct answer, it will be good practice to put what I know into practice. This is my weakness, which I keep coming back to - that when some problem solving is required, I fold far too quickly. So here is what I need to do: Let's break this down... I need to use the...

Angela Yu Xcode 12 Course - Part 7 (lectures 74 to 79)

No time to waste! Only got a short amount of time now so going to get a few minutes or so in! Start Time - 20:14 Conditionals If statement for 'love calculator' example. So a simple example for this. The idea will be that conditionals are used to show that the print statement will do it differently for whatever the number is. With updated Swift, I would use the Int.random(0...100). Easy fix that would be. Also no UIInt32 needed but just an Int. So with the if statements, it would be a STRING being returned.   Linked to the whole choose your own adventure - if/else for each choice. BMI Challenge No need to do this - easy enough to be honest. Just skimming through. BODMAS principles... So something I picked up on before is not needing the greater than AND less than value for the middle line (for the else if bmi > 18.5) A better solution, which Angela is already explaining before I could say it is returning a string instead of a Double. So the...
