Creating an app – Things to keep in mind
  • How does your app access its data?
    • How do you make sure your components have access to the data they need?
    • What manages the data?
  • How does your screen show that it's loading something? (e.g. from the internet)
    • How does your screen show that the loading failed?
  • How does your screen show a modal explanation of something? (e.g. tutorial, alert dialog)
  • How does a user fill in information?
    • How do you validate that information?
    • How is the user shown that certain input is wrong/didn't pass validation?
  • How does the onboarding show?

Death Road to Canada wishlist
* Some setting to allow always randomizing your starting leader and buddy.
* Being able to share custom characters somehow. Would be great download some that other people made.
* Some extra exploration; would love some random, non-useful gags to discover in certain locations.

How to make a bootable macOS Sierra installer drive
  1. Follow the instructions on this iMore tutorial
  2. EXCEPT when you have to enter the terminal command, use the following command instead;

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/elcap --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction

If you construct a Swift NSObject subclass with a designated initialiser that only has default parameters, for example;
{code:swift}
class SomeClass: NSObject {
private let foo: Int!
init(foo bar: Int = 1) {
foo = bar
}
}
