If I ever make it to Japan, Ghibli Park is now on the list to visit.
Apparently this theme park is confusing and unconventional, just like the movies made by its legendary namesake animation studio.

One more reason to visit Japan. β
This ο£Ώ-centric open-source animation library looks promising.
π Motion on GitHub
Motion is an animation engine for gesturally-driven user interfaces, animations, and interactions on iOS, macOS, and tvOS.
I’ve been a little skeptical of open-source animation platforms since I had to toss out one app and then another as cocos2d morphed into cocosd2x and broke everything. Damn that x! But still, this looks cool. π

Lottie is a tool from AirBnB that “parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as json with Bodymovin and renders them natively on mobile and on the web!”. It works on iOS and other platforms. Cool.
Yaaas! Code a Wolfenstein 3D knock-off and learn Swift 3D programming as you go! This is a hands-on Swift 3D programming tutorial with source code. I don’t see a down side here (except finding the time). π€·π»ββοΈ
Retro Rampage is a tutorial series in which you will learn how to build a Wolfenstein-like game from scratch, in Swift.
Even the tutorial topics sounds cool: Separation of Concerns, Mazes and Motion, Ray Casting, Texture Mapping, Sprites. π€©
