Matchismo on iOS



This is the first assignment for the course CS193P at Stanford 2013 winter session. It shows how the "MVC" structure works, and also includes really good coding style in objective-oriented programming.

Some interesting stuffs I would like to share is as below:

  1. Connecting the "View" related events or properties by dragging the object from GUI programming interface to text code. Cool.
  2. NIL pointer design, I've written things about this in last post.
  3. General initialisation design. Objects in objective-C mostly have the some usage in initialisations, setters/getters, function callings, etc. It's easy for the developers to learn some basic examples and apply on different occasions.
  4. Auto-complete editing design in Xcode. Although this feature, auto-complete while typing the code, is not new stuff, it's still the best auto-complete mechanism I've ever seen. It's fast, and smart. It allows you to jump to next blank in a very short time. While writing the program, you spent very little time on typing. Around 80%~90% of the code can be done by the auto-complete function, only the new names for object/function/etc are needed to be typed completely. At last, Xcode also generates those an annoying special characters in the code, like "", [], {}, etc.
Finally, the developing environment for iOS is not only including great designs but also so much fun.
