I thought it would be fun to look into creating Conway's Game of life in SwiftUI over the holidays. Conway's Game of life is an automatic game consisting of a 2D grid where cells are either alive or dead. The state of each cell in the next iteration is based on the cells around it in the current iteration following …

A pie chart is a circular graph that represents data as slices of a whole. Each slice, or “wedge”, represents a portion or percentage of the whole data set. Pie charts can be used to show the composition of a categorical data set, where each category’s size is proportional to its percentage of the whole. This article …

Animating the background of an app with a color gradient in SwiftUI can be a great way to enhance your app. By animating a change in the color gradient of the background, you can make your app feel more dynamic and engaging. One way to achieve this effect is by using AngularGradient to keep the background moving. …

AngularGradient in SwiftUI is used to create a color gradient of two or more colors where the colors radiate around a center point. The AngularGradient object is initialized with an array of colors that are shown in order around a center point. SwiftUI automatically interpolates between the colors as it goes around the …

LinearGradient in SwiftUI is used to create a gradient color effect of two or more colors. It is used to fill an area or object with a linear color transition from one point to another in a straight line. This article explores the use of LinearGradient and how to use it to improve the color tip on the color pencil.
