So, as a rule of thumb, if you are wondering if some iOS control you know and love may already exist in Mac, you can try and look for the same class with NS. So, some of them just changed the NS preffix used in Mac to the UI preffix used in iOS. Lots user interface classes in that are in UIKit were originally derived from classes that already existed in OSX’s AppKit. If you’re familiar with iOS programming, you may be able to see a pattern here. In OSX, the control is called NSTableView (similar to UITableView in iOS). For that, you are going to need a table view. The first thing your app needs do is to show a list with the Bugs. You just need to drag a component into your view and locate or resize it according to your application’s needs. Interface Builder lets you build your user interfaces in a visual way. That will load the visual representation of the view controller you just created in Interface Builder. In the Project Navigator, click on MasterViewController.xib. Now that you’ve created the view controller, it’s time to place the UI items on it. Now your new view Controller is created and your Project Navigator should look similar to this: Make sure that the option “With XIB for user Interface” is selected. Name the class MasterViewController, and type NSViewController for “Subclass of”. To Create a new View Controller, go to File\New\File…, and in the window that pops up, choose OS X\Cocoa\Objective-C class, and click Next. In this view, you will define the user interface of the main app. Just like in iOS, the first thing to do is to create a new View Controller. Let’s do something with this window, and make it show some information about bugs. Mac apps can have more than one window, and you can minimize them, etc.The window doesn’t have to be a particular fixed size such as the iPhone or iPad’s screen size – it can be fully resizable!.This shows you three things: first you chose the correct template and it works (yay!), second it is a good blank starting point to build upon, and third there are some big (and somewhat obvious) differences from developing for iOS: When XCode finishes building the application, you should see the main window of your application. Click it and XCode will begin to build the app. Find the “Run” button, which is located in the left side of the toolbar at the top of XCode. The project is ready, and you should have a Mac Application with an single empty window. Choose a folder in your computer and click “Create”. Now XCode will ask you for a location to save to the project. The rest of the checks should not be marked. Leave the rest of the text fields blank.įinally, make sure that only “Use Automatic Reference Counting” is checked. Apple recommends using a reverse domain format. Type ScaryBugsMac in the product name and select a unique company identifier. On the Next Page, you will enter the application information. So start by going to File\New Project in XCode, and in the window that pops up, select “Application” in the “OS X” section. (Jump to Part two or Part three) Getting StartedĬreating a Mac project is very similar to creating an iOS project – it still uses Xcode, just a different template! In this first part of this three-part series, we’ll cover how to load your model with a list of bugs and display them in a table view. Knowledge of iOS programming is recommended to follow this tutorial, but not mandatory. This tutorial is for beginner Mac Developers, but it assumes that you are familiar with Objective-C programming and with XCode. ![]() How to select an image from your hard drive, or capture a picture from your computer’s camera.How to use a text field, a button and an image view.How to use Table Views – including adding and deleting rows.Learn the main differences between OSX and iOS.While making this app, you’ll learn the following topics: It’s not required in order to read and understand this one – we’ll guide you along the way step by step. If you’ve followed that tutorial, you will be familiar with most of the steps on this one, and you will be able to see the main differences between iOS and Mac programming. In this tutorial, you’re going to build your first Mac application, specifically a Mac version of the app we created in the How To Create A Simple iPhone App tutorial. If you’re an iOS developer and you’re curious about learning the basics of becoming a Mac developer so you can start migrating your iOS apps to the desktop, this tutorial is for you. Not only can you release your apps to both the iPhone and iPad App Stores, but you also have the foundational skills to become a Mac developer, since iOS development and Mac development are quite similar! This is a post by iOS Tutorial Team Member Ernesto García, a Mac and iOS developer founder of CocoaWithChurros. Find him at or Twitter Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter Ecoboost Henry Payne is auto critic for The Detroit News. and still would have had enough room for Charlie’s Angels. I pulled Gs, rowed the box, returned 42 mpg. On my way back from Lansing, I flogged the Fiesta harder. But it is also learning the three Rs of sales: Revvy, racy, and roomy. The Fiesta has studied the Metro’s efficiency. Squeezed by Washington mpg edicts even as Americans shy from small cars, the Fiesta 3-cylinder is an attempt to make fuel efficiency fun.įrom the Fiesta 3-banger to one of my 2013 Best Vehicle finalists, the Fiesta ST hot hatch, Ford has brought spice to the common shoebox. The XFi died in 1994 due to poor sales - the Metro brand followed in 1997. Heck, you could buy a used Metro for the Ecoboost premium, Spiess noted.īut the wee Metro also came with a price: Dealers couldn’t give them away. That may be south of similar mpg hybrids - and Mini Cooper’s stylish three-holer ($21,300 base) - but it’s well north of what an inflation-adjusted Metro would be today. Add the SE trim, heated seats, and destination charge, and my triple stickered at $18,190. Where the Metro tri-hammer was a base engine, the Fiesta mill is a $995 option over the base $14,925 sedan. The cost-cutting is a reminder that the Fiesta’s leap in engine technology is not cheap. And in a nod to cost, the Ford only comes with a five-speed manual gearbox. Throwing the threes into tight turns, I found the Metro’s hydraulic steering more responsive than the Fiesta’s numb electronic rack. Our comparison was not without its old school nods, however. “It did not feel like a little 3-cylinder at all.” “I can't believe how smooth, quick, quiet, and powerful it was,” wrote Spiess at afterwards. Seven air bags, leather steering wheel, a passenger side mirror. The three-banger only comes in Ford SE trim with a list of standard features as long as your arm. The instrumentation is more refined, the cup holders abundant, the cargo room plentiful. Thanks to extensive sound-deadening and chassis work, the interior is noticeably quieter than the buzzy Metro. The quiet is a testament to the fact that subcompact advances aren’t just under the hood. The Fiesta’s power comes smoothly, predictably, quietly. Its 8.3-second, 0-60 sprint is a half-second quicker than a 1.8-liter Honda Civic. Merging onto US-127 north of Lansing at full throttle, the subcompact Fiesta disappeared from the Metro. The turbo’s peak torque arrives at just 2,500 RPM. It’s more ponies-per-liter than a Lamborghini Aventado (106) or Corvette ZR-1 (103). Not just more than the standard 1.6-liter Fiesta. Its 123 Ecoboost-ed horses are not just 74 more than the Metro. Start with the Fiesta’s briefcase-sized engine. To the auto engineers of the last 20 years, we salute you. Yet, while returning hybrid-like fuel economy numbers, the affordable Fiesta is one zesty salsa to drive. On my 80-mile trip from Detroit, I drove “green” – 5th gear, at the speed limit (you don’t know how hard that is for me) – and still managed “only” 47 mpg. As a result Spiess is averaging an astounding 52 mpg around Lansing. But in his quest for better fuel economy, Spiess has upgraded his matchbox (complete with “Got 50 mpg?” sticker on the bumper) with XFi guts and a rear spoiler not unlike my Fiesta. ![]() Spiess’s 49-horsepower, 1995 Metro is officially EPA rated at 40 mpg combined (37 city/44 highway) a year after GM discontinued the XFi. Lansing-based Geo Metro owner Matt Spiess answered my call for a three-for-all. But the Metro made no pretense of performance. The pride of the litter, the Geo Metro XFi (manufactured from 1990-1994), got an EPA estimated 43 mpg city/53 highway. So obsessed was GM with Metro’s price tag that it offered the passenger side mirror as an option. At $8,085 in 1995 ($12,639 in today’s dollars) it was the cheapest chariot on the lot – and would still be today. The Geo Metro itself was hatched as an economy car in every sense of the word. ![]() The Metroids are intrigued by a 1-liter that aspires to the Holy Grail of 50 mpg while also promising performance - a strange concept in the remote, Middle Earth realm of three-bangers. My offer to reciprocate driving a Geo Metro for the Fiesta was met with much enthusiasm. I contacted the Michigan clan through the online Geo Metro Forum. The 1.0-liter Smart gets only 36 mpg? Amateur. They are dismissive of pretenders - ahem, like the Mirage and Smart - that fail to live up to the three’s fuel efficiency potential. Like the Dwarves in Tolkein’s Hobbit, they are a close tribe fiercely protective of their cars and three-cylinder artisanship. On top of that, you do not have to worry about sand and grit getting stuck behind the grille. And this makes it perfect for beach parties. Unlike the SoundLink Flex, this one can also survive a dip in salt water. One of the best things about this JBL speaker is its IP67 rating. If we talk numbers, it weighs around 1.12 lbs, and you can easily carry it in your tote bag or outdoor bag. Like its counterpart, the Flip 6 is also ‘almost’ lightweight. The grille goes around the device, except for the spine, which bundles the Power button. It has the same cylindrical look with plastic bumpers on either side. The JBL Flip 6 looks very similar to its predecessor – JBL Flip 5. However, the folks at CNET felt that the connectivity was solid and the speaker rarely dropped the connection. So that’s a little bummer for SoundLink Flex. The latest crop of portable speakers sports Bluetooth 5.1 or Bluetooth 5.2. ![]() For now, the SoundLink Flex comes with Bluetooth 4.2. When it comes to connectivity, unfortunately, Bose has still stayed with the older version of Bluetooth. And irrespective of the device’s placement, it will balance the sound. Interestingly, the PositionIQ tech inside adjusts the audio output as per the placement. It’s a versatile device and can be laid on its back or propped up. It’s worth noting that while the silicone layer adds a smooth finish, it also attracts dust and lint. At the same time, the smooth silicone exterior does its duty of absorbing the impact of minor bumps and falls. It barely weighs 1.23lb and doesn’t add much bulk, especially if you want to carry it on your hiking trip. Though it’s a hardy speaker, it’s lightweight and portable. Interestingly, it can also float on water. ![]() The IP67 rating makes it safe from water and dust damage. And like its predecessor, it boasts a solid build.

Daedalic, the studio working on it, is best known for 2D, point-and-click adventure games and other smaller titles, not 3D stealth-action games. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum appears to be a bit of a wild card. But neither prominently featured characters from The Lord of the Rings books, and some players felt they didn't really reflect the spirit of Tolkien's work. The two games in that series also took heavy inspiration from Assassin's Creed, albeit more on the combat and open-world side than the stealth side. The last triple-A video game set in Middle-earth was 2017's Middle-earth: Shadow of War, a sequel to 2014's Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Those choices will change how the titular character's story plays out in the long run. It seems that will play out in the game, too, with the player having to make choices between what Smeagol or Gollum wants. Whether you're a fan of the books, the movies, or some other iteration, one of the most interesting aspects of Gollum's character has always been the internal conflict between Smeagol, the pitiful individual who found the One Ring, and Gollum, the alter-ego whose corruption and malice is driven by the ring. This new cinematic trailer accompanied the release date announcement. It follows the (mostly) untold story of Gollum's activities during the book The Fellowship of the Ring, when Frodo and company were traveling from The Shire eastward to Rivendell, Moria, and beyond. But unlike recent stealth games, it will be a linear affair rather than an open world. Like Assassin's Creed, it will involve a fair bit of climbing and platforming. Announced in 2019, the game was initially planned for a 2021 release, but it was delayed to 2022, and this is the first time we have a firm date for it.īased on a gameplay video released last year, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum appears to be a stealth game like Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, or Metal Gear Solid.

Most of the restored and newly built buildings are made of wood with a simple, rustic architecture and a severely weathered appearance. Original mining crew at the Silver King Mine.Ĭalico has been restored to the look of the silver rush era when it flourished, although many original buildings were removed and replaced instead with gingerbread architecture and false façades that tourists would expect to see in a Western-themed town. If they could build an imaginary ghost town at Knott’s Berry Farm, would it not be possible to restore a real ghost town? In 1951, Walter Knott purchased the town of Calico from the Zenda Mining Company and put Paul von Klieben in charge of restoring it to its original condition, referencing old photographs. The three of them came back filled with enthusiasm. After building Ghost Town at Knott’s Berry Farm in the 1940s, Walter Knott, his son, Russell, and Paul von Klieben, who was Knott's art director, made a road trip to Calico. The last owner of Calico as a mine was Zenda Mining Company. Walter Knott and his wife Cordelia, founders of Knott's Berry Farm, were homesteaded at Newberry Springs around this time, and Knott helped build the redwood cyanide tanks for the plant. Īn attempt to revive the town was made in about 1915, when a cyanide plant was built to recover silver from the unprocessed Silver King Mine's deposits. Many of the original buildings were moved to Barstow, Daggett and Yermo. By the turn of the century, Calico was all but a ghost town, and with the end of borax mining in the region in 1907 the town was completely abandoned. The post office was discontinued in 1898, and the school closed not long after. By 1896, its value had decreased to $0.57 per troy ounce, and Calico's silver mines were no longer economically viable. In the same year, the Silver Purchase Act was enacted and drove down the price of silver. The discovery of the borate mineral colemanite in the Calico mountains a few years after the settlement of the town also helped Calico's fortunes, and in 1890 the estimated population of the town was 3,500, with nationals of China, England, Ireland, Greece, France, and the Netherlands, as well as Americans living there. Local badmen were buried in the Boot Hill cemetery. At its height of silver production during 18, Calico had over 500 mines and a population of 1,200 people. There was also a Wells Fargo office and a telephone and telegraph service. The town also had a deputy sheriff and two constables, two lawyers and a justice of the peace, five commissioners, and two doctors. The county established a school district and a voting precinct. The town soon supported three hotels, five general stores, a meat market, bars, brothels, and three restaurants and boarding houses. A post office at Calico was established in early 1882, and the Calico Print, a weekly newspaper, started publishing. King was sheriff of San Bernardino County from 1879 to 1882. King, who had grubstaked the prospectors who discovered the silver vein (the Silver King Mine was thus named after him), was the uncle of Walter Knott founder of Knott's Berry Farm. ![]() The four prospectors discovered silver in the mountain and opened the Silver King Mine, which was California's largest silver producer in the mid-1880s. After they described the peak as "calico-colored", the peak, the mountain range to which it belonged, and the town that followed were all called Calico. In 1881, four prospectors were leaving Grapevine Station (present day Barstow, California) for a mountain peak to the northeast. |
