OK, I admit I derived inordinate pleasure from figuring out how to make this work in this *specific* way, and choosing these specific function names ;) #Swift #SwiftPlaygrounds #LearnToCode
I'm getting to a part of #Swift #SwiftPlaygrounds first lesson about Operators, and the phrase "Blocked" is introduced:
This would seem to be a testable condition that you're supposed to use, yet at no point is an attempt made to explain what "Blocked" means for the character or in this context.
It's bad instructional design, #Apple.
"If (character) is going to walk off an edge or into a wall, which would block its progress, that is a condition we can check, and then use the answer”.
Easy 🤦♂️
Seriously #Apple - fire whomever is in charge of #Swift #SwiftPlaygrounds; they have no business coming within a mile of children's education.
You look at the "official" answers to the puzzles, and half of them use solutions that haven't been covered up to that point in the lessons.
Or, how about this:
"for i in 1...3 { blah blah }"
What is the "i" for? What does it mean? What is the significance of the letter "i" specifically? It's used, but NEVER explained.
You know what would be REALLY useful in #Swift #SwiftPlaygrounds #Apple? Being able to STEP BACKWARDS THROUGH MY SCENE INSTEAD OF HAVING TO START FROM SCRATCH EVERY TIME I MAKE A MISTAKE.
Did no one with even the slightest idea about basic pedagogical theory or practice test this before it was released?
Or how about, oh I don't know SHOWING ME THE CORRECT ANSWER SO I CAN SEE HOW IT'S DONE.
FFS.
Because I can't actually select instruction text in #Swift #SwiftPlaygrounds, it has to be a screengrab; suffice to say, if you follow these instructions it fails to work, because you can't run the scenario again after a mistake occurs. Between step 1, and step 2 there is another step required, which is "Start Page Over".
Again, what idiot at #Apple designed this?
You can't just have missing steps and processes in a educational resource, FFS
So #Swift #SwiftPlaygrounds "Get Started with Code" scene 2 - you moveForward() 3 times, then turnLeft(), which is correct. But, before the turn, the character teeters on the edge of the abyss, which makes it look and feel like your command is wrong, and caused the character to overshoot.
What idiot at #Apple designed this, and in god's name who thought ambiguity of result from actions was appropriate for an EDUCATIONAL tool?
checking out #Swift #SwiftPlaygrounds and the first thing I notice, in the first tutorial "Get Started with Code" is the caption text appears to be fuzzy bitmaps rather than actual crisp vectors, like all of the images and animations.
Starting this year’s #AdventOfCode, my solutions are going to be made in #SwiftPlaygrounds!

Feeling the power of #Xcode Playgrounds today.
I often fall back to using them when I have a JSON decoding scenario to unravel. Getting all the rest of Xcode, files, code, etc., out-of-the-way really accelerates my productivity in that area.

I want to share a shortcuts sheet I made for #SwiftPlaygrounds v4, before the #WWDC keynote. Hope you like it.
Playgrounds a fantastic tool for Swift development, and I want you to see its current capabilities before new features are presented this week!

Apple offers the #SwiftPlaygrounds app as a tool to develop apps with #Swift and #SwiftUI on the iPad (is not Xcode, we already know that).
Do you know if there’s something similar on Android/Google Play to develop apps with #Kotlin and #JetpackCompose on an Android tablet?
My thesis, Swift Playgrounds >= Xcode.
I’ve written a blog article based of my recent talk at /dev/world.
