Creative Coding: Randomness and Noise

This article explores creative coding with Swift/SwiftUI, using Canvas, Path, and TimelineView to build evolving visuals. It shows how randomness and noise (uniform, biased, Perlin, etc.) distort shapes and motion to create organic, “unexpected beauty.”

- It presents the basic SwiftUI tools: Canvas (drawing), Path (geometry), and TimelineView (motion/time).

- The idea: beauty emerges from layering simple procedures - shape, animation, randomness - and constant iteration.

- A NoiseGenerator protocol is introduced to easily swap different noise algorithms.

- Noise types are covered: uniform (sharp, chaotic) and non-uniform/biased (softer, more “alive”).

- It shows how to add noise to path point coordinates to organically distort shapes.

- To balance unpredictability with smoothness, deterministic noise (Perlin, Simplex, Worley) is recommended.

- Device sensors (motion, microphone, camera) can be used as variation sources, and you can vary speed, color, stroke width, and size.

Main takeaway: by combining structure and randomness, code becomes a “living” system where each run yields new, unexpectedly beautiful behavior.

SwiftUI Tip

In iOS 26, toolbars use a glass background by default.

To remove it, use .sharedBackgroundVisibility(.hidden)

source

SwiftUI Tip

When you apply the liquid glass style to a custom view, you can also customize its tint color.

source

iOS Dev Tip

Display large numbers in a clean and readable way using .notation(.compactName).

Great for follower counts, views, and app analytics.

source

SwiftUI Tip

Display interactive maps easily using the Map view.

source

SwiftUI Tip

In iOS 15.0+, you can prevent users from swiping down to dismiss a sheet using .interactiveDismissDisabled().

Perfect for preventing accidental closes - especially in paywalls.

High Level Anatomy of a Camera Capturing Session

This article maps the AVFoundation capture flow - inputs → AVCaptureSession → preview layer and outputs (photo, video, processing) - and defines the roles of AVCaptureSession, AVCaptureDeviceInput, AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer, AVCaptureOutput, AVCapturePhotoSettings, and AVCaptureConnection.

It explains photo capture being asynchronous and high-res vs low-res preview, the display path (AVCapturePhoto → CGImage → SwiftUI Image → display or PHAsset), and the difference between capture settings and stream settings.

It also notes Simulator limits (RocketSim workaround) and pitfalls in Apple’s sample code.

SwiftUI Tip

In iOS 26.0+, use backgroundExtensionEffect() to softly mirror and extend a view’s edges, creating a seamless, continuous background.

Android Doesn't Deserve Swift-But We Did It Anyway

Pierluigi Cifani shows how his team brought Swift to Android with Skip, leveraging the open-source Foundation and two modes (transpile or native-compile) to share business logic.

He details fixes for Foundation imports, gating iOS-only code, generating JNI bindings, and calling Swift from Kotlin; in production he swapped URLSession for an OkHttp wrapper and shipped Nuritas.

He outlines trade-offs (bigger APKs, slower cycles), demonstrates sharing view models and even SwiftUI on Android, and urges Apple and the community to support Swift on Android.

iOS Dev Tip

You can monitor your app’s thermal state to adjust performance when the device gets too warm - just check:

ProcessInfo.processInfo.thermalState
