Overview
Daniel has been utilizing YouTube tutorials to replicate code in Xcode, successfully running a game project on an iPhone 6 simulator despite an incomplete grasp of the underlying code.
The game project features a main menu, a menu button, and basic movement mechanics where a bird descends at a capped speed and flaps upward upon screen taps, with future plans to introduce pipe obstacles, motion, and a high-score system.
Themes
Xcode learning and code copying through YouTube tutorials with partial comprehension.
Application interface design, menu navigation buttons, and testing on the iPhone 6 simulator.
Flapping and falling game mechanics governing bird movement via screen taps.
Upcoming additions including pipe obstacles, continuous movement, and high score tracking.
Developments
Daniel started using Xcode on the preceding day.
Daniel tested the game build on an iPhone 6 simulator following several hours spent establishing the first tutorial section.
Uncertainties & gaps
The precise proportion of the copied code that Daniel understands is an approximation estimated around 40 percent.
