Apollo - Sat, Nov. 30, 2024

Recently I've been working on my app Noir "Link ➚" , Noir uses the AniList API to track and manage manga & anime lists from AniList. The way the app interfaces with the API is via GraphQL. Using swift there isn't an easy way to interface nativley with GraphQL, this is where Apollo comes in. Apollo allows you to talk to a GraphQL API easliy and effectivley. This makes using a GraphQL API in an iOS app way easier.

Bits & Bytes - Mon, Oct. 28, 2024

Recently in my EE2174 Class - Digital Logic, we've been learning about bits, bytes, and ASCII. I've learned a lot from this experience, and have directly applied this knowledge to my app Brokenithm "Link ➚" , this app uses ASCII to communicate directly with the game it's controlling. Every command sent is encoded as ASCII and every command recieved gets decoded from ASCII.
