Here is some new art I have been working on.

Hello Friends

....sharing some recent drawings with you.

Super Duper Cool XCode Code Snippets

I love code snippets.

I love not having to write the same code over and over (carpel tunnel).

With code snippets you can copy a block of code and drag it into the snippet window and it will create that selected code into a snippet.

Then when when you want to use it you just drag that snippet into your class file where you want it and BAM! you got code.

But that's not the cool part. You can also give it a completion shortcut.

So instead of having to find the snippet and drag it into position you can just type your completion shortcut, hit tab and BAM! you got code.

Refactoring Fun

Refactoring is one of the most important skills a developer can improve on. Without it you are handicapped. There is a whole process I go through when I refactor but I am not going to go into that right now. For more information I suggest reading Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code.

But for now I wanted to tell you about the DEPRECATED_ATTRIBUTE and how awesome it is for refactoring code.

When you put the DEPRECATED_ATTRIBUTE in front of your attributes you get warnings showing where that is used so you can replace it in all of those spots.

Makes the process simple.

It's been a crazy couple of months. Good crazy. Working in a startup while making a game for an east coast company and trying to frantically get my game done before Sept 25. I have more ideas for games now than I know what to do with. Expect some cool things to be coming out soon.

Evil Green Men - 3D WIP

I have decided to intermix 3d elements into Evil Green men to give it a bit more depth. I am going to keep it a 2d game still but replace some 2d elements with 3D images and also create some neat 3D rolling and spinning animations from them.
