I expect most macOS, iOS, or tvOS developers to use Xcode as their main development environment, especially if they're working with Swift. You can use other IDEs with other languages, like Xamarin or Unity for example, but that's not the "Apple way". This obviously also applies to anyone working with SpriteKit. In this post, I will detail what's good or wrong with Xcode support for SpriteKit.

In this direct follow-up to my 2022 retrospective post, I will lay out my goals for the new year, regarding my projects and this website.

When I launched this website at the end of 2021, it wasn’t clear which way my projects would go. Some went way further than expected. Some have not moved an inch. In this post, I take a look at what's been done, now 2022 is in the rear-view mirror.

While working on the authoring tools for The Untitled Project, I realized that running the game at native Retina resolution was not possible on low-end GPUs. I needed a way to render the content of my SKView at a lower resolution. However, the documentation does not provide directions on this subject. In this post, I explain how I finally get to the solution and how to implement it.

SwiftUI is currently the new trend in the Apple development world. And I wanted to give it a try. I did. However, in this post, I explain why I went back to AppKit for The Untitled Project's authoring tools.
