Checking for NULL

NSString *myString = [[NSString alloc] init];
if ([myString length] > 0) {}  //check the string's length instead of checking for NULL or nil
 

Auto-Detect Languages (and iPhone current Language)

NSArray *languages = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[NSLocale preferredLanguages]];
for (id language in languages) {
	NSLog(@"Language: %@", language);
}
NSLog(@"Default Language: %@", [languages objectAtIndex:0]);

Auto-Detect Country

NSLocale *locale = [NSLocale currentLocale];
NSString *code = [locale objectForKey:NSLocaleCountryCode];
NSString *countryName = [locale displayNameForKey:NSLocaleCountryCode value:code];
NSLog(@"country name: %@", countryName);

Changing your files' "Path Type" is also imperative in synchronizing files between multiple developers/computers. To get to the Path Type, right-click (ctrl+click) your file(s) and hit 'Get Info'.
Under the General tab of the pop-up you'll see your Path Type. xCode defaults files to being "Relative to Enclosing Group".

If you're going to organize your files into folders in Finder and then add them into xCode without checking "Copy items into designation group's folder (if needed)", it's imperative to change the Path Type to "Relative to Project". You'll notice the Path under your files' Name will change.

Example: Adding a Default.png image to the application. The image exists in my "Application's folder/images" folder.
Name: Default.png
Path: images/Default.png

This changes the application's start up image so that it doesn't need to be in the same folder as your .xcodeproj file.

 
public static function replaceWord (searchString:String, find:String, replace:String) : String
{
	var wordLength = searchString.length;
	var result:String = '';
	for (var i = 0; i < wordLength; i++) {
		if (searchString.substr (i, find.length) == find) {
			result =	searchString.substr (0, i) +
						replace +
						searchString.substr (i + find.length, wordLength);
		}
	}
	if (result == '') result = searchString; // didn't replace anything
	return result;
}
 

Also, I've been working on creating a new portfolio site and while brainstorming for it, I decided to do a few physics tests to try Gravity and Repulsion techniques.

As you can see above, the bouncy balls was my first physics test. In that image, I have 12 balls bouncing around, with the yellow ball being what I was dragging with my mouse.

Physics Test 1 w/ Multitouch from Colin Duffy on Vimeo.

Here you can see I implemented TUIO into my project and can control multiple balls with my fingers over my iPhone. I also added a debug mode (turning on and off through double-tapping the iPhone screen) which you can see here. I used TUIO's sample code to display the trail of each finger's movement.

Physics Test 2 w/ Multitouch from Colin Duffy on Vimeo.

This next test involved a gravitational pull with particles that repel off one another. As you can see from the second image, I implemented multi-touch to add points from more than one direction. There's still a few things I'd like to do with this that I'll continue to work on.
