The #VoiceOver rotors for source code in #Xcode are awesome, and a huge time saver.

I suspect it’s much easier to debug—or at least faster to diagnose—weird physics engine behaviors when you can actually see a graphical representation of a body’s orientation. 😂 #gameDev #Swift #audioGames #blindProgrammerProblems
Adding game controller support was something we had wanted to do for a very long time. It really changes the whole experience of the game. If you have one of Apple’s supported game controllers available, or you want to grab one, you won’t be disappointed. We plan on supporting game controllers in all our releases where it makes sense going forward.

I'm excited to announce that the Swift over Coffee podcast is coming back! @mikaelacaron and I will record the first episode of season 3 before #WWDC23, so our open ballot question is the one everyone is asking: what are you looking forward to most at WWDC? We'll feature as many replies as we can! https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/swiftovercoffee
We’re putting the finishing touches on ChangeReaction 3.0. The biggest change is support for console game controllers, and it really changes the feel of the game, especially when you feel the haptics of all those coins exploding! Both SilverDollar and ChangeReaction have been upgraded to run natively on Apple Silicon, which was not as challenging as we feared it might be.
