I hate to be that guy but the quality of OP’s showcased pixel art is pretty mediocre. Strikes me as someone who’s still learning and figuring things out and not in a particularly solid position to teach others.

To this day, the best 3D API I’ve used (and I’ve tried quite a few over the years) is Apple’s SceneKit. Just the right levels of abstraction needed to get things on the screen in a productive, performant manner for most common use cases, fr

One of my favorite questions to muse about is when will be the first year where Apple does not release any new product branded as an “iPhone”. Everything must end after all; but I get wildly different answers when I ask that question to peo

How many people can name the chairman of the board at Apple today off the top of their head (Arthur Levinson)? And how much does Arthur Levinson steer the broader direction of the company? That's just not what the role is about. Steve
