Sunday Build with HWS+: An original word game where players fill a 5x5 grid to spell five words across and five words down simultaneously, with drag and drop plus tile locking. #SundayBuild https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-streams/5x5

5x5 – Hacking with Swift+

There are lots of word games, but very few original word games. Let’s build one today, with delightfully simple drag and drop mechanics plus locks in place to avoid annoying players as they progress.

Sunday Build with HWS+: Visualize sorting algorithms step by step in SwiftUI, helping learners see exactly how bubble sort, insertion sort, and others actually work. #SundayBuild https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-streams/sortvis

SortVis – Hacking with Swift+

In this stream we're going to build an app that visualizes sorting algorithms, to help learners understand how they work. This requires some algorithm coding wrapped up in a surprisingly small amount of SwiftUI, so let's get to it!

Sunday Build with HWS+: Build a macOS app that simulates an assembly language and virtual machine, mixing regex parsing with document-based app features. #SundayBuild https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-streams/tom

TOM – Hacking with Swift+

In this stream we’re going to build a macOS app that simulates a small assembly language and virtual machine, which is great for learners. Along the way we’ll explore some fun features such as regular expressions and document-based apps – it’s really quite powerful!

Sunday Build with HWS+: Create a one-touch physics game built with SpriteKit, proving you don't need complex controls to make something fun and addictive. #SundayBuild https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-streams/infinite-bounce

Infinite Bounce – Hacking with Swift+

Is it possible to make a fun physics game that can be played with just one touch? It certainly is – and with SpriteKit it’s not even that difficult!

Sunday Build with HWS+: Flashcard apps are great for studying, but making the cards is tedious. This one uses Apple's Foundation Models framework to generate study cards automatically from any text you paste in. #SundayBuild https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-streams/snapcards

SnapCards – Hacking with Swift+

Flashcard apps are a fantastic way to study, but making the cards themselves is tedious. We’re going to build a flashcard app that uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework to generate study cards automatically from any text you paste in, making the whole process 100x faster!

Sunday Build with HWS+: Calendar notifications are easy to miss, but alarms aren't. This app combines EventKit with AlarmKit to turn your events into unmissable alerts that sync to Apple Watch. #SundayBuild https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-streams/neverforget

NeverForget – Hacking with Swift+

In this stream we’ll build a trivial app that solves a real problem – my favorite kind of project! Even better, EventKit and AlarmKit do almost all the work for us…

Sunday Build with HWS+: I mean who *doesn't* love Regex? Create a SwiftUI app that lets you experiment with regular expressions in real time, with pattern matching, group highlighting, and Swift code generation. #SundayBuild https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-streams/regexcoach

RegexCoach – Hacking with Swift+

In this stream we’re going to build a SwiftUI app that lets the user experiment with regular expressions: searching for patterns, matching groups, and even generating Swift code.

Sunday Build with HWS+: Visualize algorithm complexity with Swift Charts, from O(n) to O(n!), in a way that makes Big O notation click. #SundayBuild https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-streams/complexity-explorer

Complexity Explorer – Hacking with Swift+

We're going to build an app that helps users learn about algorithm complexity, visualizing things like O(n²) and O(n!) using Swift Charts.

Sunday Build with HWS+: Launch a shape-matching game built for visionOS, where colorful identicons surround you in an immersive space and you race to find pairs. #SundayBuild https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-streams/patch-match

Patch Match – Hacking with Swift+

In this stream we're going to build another game, but this time targeting visionOS. Although the game itself would work fine in 2D, in 3D it's really gorgeous because we'll be using an immersive space – I hope you're able to give it a try!

Sunday Build with HWS+: Build a live Markdown previewer for macOS using test-driven development from start to finish. #SundayBuild https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-streams/livescribe

LiveScribe – Hacking with Swift+

We're going to build a macOS app that lets users write Markdown and see exactly how it looks as they type. More importantly, we're going to do so using test-driven development, so get ready to write some tests!
