This app was developed in 2016 and was one of my first real world applications. It was built using Swift 2.0 , SpriteKit and CocoaPods.
As one of my first projects, there was a lot I had done wrong and a lot I learned from it. If I were to remake this today, there is a lot I would've done differently. Some of my shortfalls were:
- The lack of testing
- Inconsistent architecture
- Repetitive, non DRY code
- MVC (Massive View Controllers).
The project never went live officially and the source code has remained close source until now (August 2020). It was a great learning experience and I applied most of my knowledge from it to my future endeavours.
Some of the things I learned while working on this project are:
- The importance of architecture in software development. My current projects are all built with a specific architecture in mind. My most popular choice when working with Swift is either MVVM + RxSwift, Redux (with SwiftUI) or Viper (with UIKit)
- Seperation of concerns: A lot of the code in this project is duplicated, and could easily be refactored in to re-usable functions and classes
- How to setup in app purchases with receipt validation
- Basic data structures and algorithims
- The basics of game development.

- Tap the correct number tiles while being put on the clock!
- The aim of the game is to tap as many of the number tiles as fast as you can but be careful and avoid any small mistakes!
- Beat the clock but don’t let the clock beat you!
- Number Tap is a game for anybody willing to take the ultimate challenge.
- With 24 tiles and only 45 seconds, Number Tap becomes a race between your fingers and the clock.
- Carefully and swiftly tap the numbers and achieve the goal.
- Avoid silly mistakes as they can cost you the whole game!
