Highlight of my last week: Yesterday night @Monal was so kind to explain the inner workings of #Monal and his development setup to me. That was delight- and insightful! Thanks for that nice talk!

The three main themes of this release are majorly improved Windows (cross) development support and the compiler has been improved greatly with Objective-C to C transpilation and support for mulle-objc language extensions. 0.28 is...

Nat!'s Journal

Revisited the first iOS game I built (~15 years ago), back when I was learning Objective-C. Non-ARC, old cocos2d, iPhone4 layouts.

Spent a few hours doing manual cleanup, removing things like Flurry + old Game Center code, and fixing enough to make it compile.

It builds. It runs — including proper aspect-fit scaling on modern devices.

Apparently I had even built an After Effects to XML level design system pipeline. Not entirely sure how. 😅

If you’re a developer, this thread is absolutely mind-blowing. #objc #swift #android

I'm happy the old vibes of the internet are still alive: https://fuckingblocksyntax.com #objc
How Do I Declare A Block in Objective-C?

The old dude was famously verbose, but this is getting a bit much:

[self.imageView addSymbolEffect:[NSSymbolRotateEffect effect] options:[NSSymbolEffectOptions optionsWithRepeatBehavior:[NSSymbolEffectOptionsRepeatBehavior behaviorPeriodicWithCount:1]]];

Oh hi, haven't seen this one in a while...

It's interesting just how close Objective-C 1.0/1.1 was to JavaScript. A lot of the gritty code just copy-paste and works, as long as you remember to turn [foo message:bar] into foo.message(bar) and change ls.count to ls.length (which tripped me a few times). The object model's different, but you'll never notice in normal work.

Once the whip-me-beat-me C++ freaks started littering Obj-C with a bunch of type-shit, it got harder.
