Matchismo

A Swift version of a Matchismo game from Stanford's cs193p course "Developing iOS 7 Apps for iPhone and iPad" (2013/2014).

Requires Xcode 6.1 to build.

Idea

Use applications functionality from lectures/assignments as a set of requirements, but don't follow class design from lectures. Differences in approach to code design and implementation:

• design without insight into how application will change during next lecture (e.g. avoid creating inheritance hierarchies prematurely)
• use MVVM-like view-model adapter between game logic and UI
• keep view controllers light
• develop game's logic and view-model in a TDD manner
• take advantage of Swift language features, including:
  • enums
  • structs
  • generics
• use UICollectionView for cards' layout
  • to switch between layouts - pinch-in/out
  • custom layouts features:
    • scales collection view items to fit all on screen
    • UIDynamics driven layout for gathering cards in a stack and moving them around
