ReactiveMarbles

SpriteKit marble animations demonstrating ReactiveCocoa methods.

Marbles are a time-honoured method of teaching RX concepts. This repository includes a Swift 2 Playground with animated marble views to allow experimentation with ReactiveCocoa 4 signals.

Getting Started:

  1. Clone or download the repo
  2. Run carthage checkout, or git submodule init && git submodule update
  3. Open the workspace (not the playground!)
  4. Build the 'ReactiveMarbles-OSX' scheme
  5. Open one of the Playground pages, show the Assistant Editor (and choose 'Timeline' if necessary).

TODO/Known Issues:

  • No iOS framework - iOS Playgrounds are limited to only one live view, which makes these somewhat less useful.
  • The private XCPlayground.framework is bundled in the repository. This may not work with different versions of Xcode (currently built for Xcode 7)
  • The frame rate is pretty awful on slower Macs.

I’m also not a seasoned ReactiveCocoa expert, and some of this code may be incorrect/misleading/non-idiomatic/crap. I’d gratefully appreciate corrections and/or PRs. There’s probably also more work that can be done in the Playground support to make it a bit more useful & natural to experiment with.
