This is my first iOS app and a playground for me to explore Swift and the Apple Metal rendering API.

This project has no external libraries: all animations, physics and graphics are written from scratch. I worked on it in my spare time for almost 2 months, learning a ton about Swift, Metal and different rendering techniques in the process. For studying I used these resources (in the following order):

• Hacking with Swift
• Expert Swift
• SwiftUI Apprentice
• Metal by Tutorials

Coming from web development with Javascript and WebGL / WebGPU, this project was really fun to do as my first iOS app.
