Yes of course. I just mean that I wouldn’t expect it to be allowed. On the other hand I am surprised that the string isn’t sanitized. 🤷‍♂️

It’s a very clever idea that I would think is also quite bad. Especially if you want to keep your developer account. 😆

I guess one either dies an indie enthusiast or live long enough to see oneself become a growth hacker.

It’s INCREDIBLE!

The shuffle button??? 🤯
Is it to let the player choose whether or not to shuffle where it would currently autoshuffle? That would be neat.👍

I don’t have any feedback or magic advice. I just want to say that I am excited about you working on more stuff for this puzzle game.

Cheers!

Yeah, that might be a sufficiently important use case.

I just sense that the technical sophistication of the lower level support seems too great to have been added “just” for that.

Nevertheless, it does seem to potentially open up wild possibilities for visionsOS interop with the other platforms.

Yeah, I don’t expect it to be that interesting by itself for general “visionOS app development”. But I am wondering about what this feature is signaling wrt. future use cases and strategic directions from Apples side. 🤔

Do you have any thoughts on “macOS Spatial rendering” (eg. mentioned in youtu.be/r4GlApHWWZ8 beginning at 18:30)

I am baffled it does not seem to be talked about much online.

Did it at least output some sort of run-time error message to the console?

This is a must-read 🤓

I mainly use my iPad Pro (2018) to take notes, sketch diagrams and do math with Apple Pencil. But I look forward to explore the new multi-window & menu bar paradigm.

Xcode 26 beta straight up crashes when loading my project. I’ve tried deleting targets etc. to make it simpler, but it still crashes.

This makes it difficult to provide useful feedback, but I’ll try anyway.

They forgot to change F1 to F26

I think this approach will still “flash the rom” on the machine (or whatever it’s called these days), so I guess it’s not 100% safe…

I did that last year with the Sequoia beta. I don’t remember exactly how, but I started making a partition and installed the then-current OS which I then updated to the beta via the Settings systems update menus.

They call it “macOS Spatial rendering”.
Check out “What’s new in Metal rendering for spatial apps” about 18:30 in.

youtu.be/r4GlApHWWZ8?...

I can see why the first one would not pass since it contains negative critique. The second one is super relevant. Perhaps they simply won’t approve it if the answer is just “no”? 🤔

Was it perhaps too “code heavy”? 🤔

Off to the forums then, I guess?

I have asked one question that was in review for about 25 minutes, but was just accepted now.
Will happily upvote when / if I see a question from you.
Good luck! 🤞

Uhm.. So macOS and visionOS 26 will support using a Mac to render an immersive scene (with Metal) on a connected visionOS device.

This is not a trivial connection!

This suggests the same will be possible for RealityViews.

Is this prep for a cheaper headset???

#WWDC #visionOS

I am looking forward to try this!
Looks fantastic!

Did I get this right? Did Apple’s presentation just show an example of an app using their on-device AI to generate a travel plan for a visit to Grand Canyon?

What could possibly go wrong? 😑

#WWDC #Xcode

Initiatives bringing visionOS closer to consumers are more than welcome. And so are news about a more “macOS-like” system for iPad.

Personally my fingers are crossed for gaze optimized rendering with Metal. But that would at most be hinted at in a word cloud during State of the Union.

#WWDC

Will the chromatic aberrations and soapy liquid look of recent Apple materials transfer to the new UI, or will that be too colorful and psychedelic for system UI?

Perhaps subtle scattering effects?

#WWDC

What words are on your WWDC bingo card?
I have “vibrancy” and “dynamic”. Should we also add “inertial”, “glass” and “material”?

Any thoughts? Just for fun.

By the way. You probably have a thousand photos of yourself presenting, but I still think this is one came out pretty great.

Thank you for an inspiring talk and for your hospitality!

Great initiative! The State of the Union session itself is quite late in the night here, so it’s going to be way too late for me.

I hope to join you at your office hours soon, though. Cheers!

The “space in the display” would need to be shown in front of the display for the pencil to be able to poke around in it. Otherwise I would end up stabbing my display 😆

Had to try.
Almost there… 🧩😅👍

I have been wondering what the game would feel like on a larger board eg 5x5. Or if starting with a board without blank squares, with the ability to spend a move to decrease a tile value by one to enable clearing “stuck” states instead of shuffling.

How about auto-play when only 1-tiles remain?
