Tools

Beside Xcode there are some tools that will make your coding experience much easier.

  • Homebrew: download and compile open source software from terminal using a vast list of recipes.

  • [Tower]: probably one of the best git GUI clients. BUT is not free.

  • Dash: excellent documentation tool for MacOS. Search off-line for commands and functions in a great variety of languages and APIs.

  • SublimeText: don't need introductions. Probably one of the best free text editors. You probably one to install the following packages: DashDoc, Color Highlighter, OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) and MarkdownEditing.

  • [Spectrum]: Nice color scheme tool that let you extract color palettes and insert them in your code easily.

  • OFPlay: Fast and easy project generator for openFrameworks. Drag your project folder and make. That's all.

  • OFPlugin: aggregate addons to your projects in seconds directly from Xcode.

  • sNode: GLSL Shader real time editor that's use Syphon to get and share textures and buffers.

  • Mou: is important to document well your projects. Get a nice Markdown editor like Mou or AiWriter

  • Grapher: Comes for free in your OSX distribution. This handy tool let you visualize math function

  • Syphon: is not a tool in it self, but worth to learn how to use ofxSyphon to record your apps and share textures with lot of other tools like: processing, cinder, Max, Quartz Composer, Unity, VDMX, After Effects and Back Magic cards.
