My environment: The code below is written in swift Playgrounds 4 on my company IPad.

Goal of the project: I am trying to improve upon the classroom management tool of my school, which is basically a paper traffic light with a clothespin for each student. I want an App in which all of my 28 students are represented by a button each Those buttons are supposed to changes from green to yellow when tapped 4 times and to red if tapped thrice more. As a nice-to-have feature the total number ob button tabs (aka. warnings) should be displayed on the buttons. Also the buttons should be structured in a meaningful way (like the tables of my students; a 7 x 4 grid).

My progress so far: I wrote a class (student), and created instances of that class to represent four of my favorite students. I packed them into an array (students) to easily create a button for each of them. In this class “state” is the amount of times the student has been warned (the button has been tapped) and “color” is supposed to be the color of the respective button.

As of this writing I need a variable (col) for handling of the color. I think that would be unnecessary but did not get the color change to work in a different way.

After structuring in a grid I create a button for each element in the array (students). On buttonPress the state and color are updated for the respective student and (for reasons unknown to me) col is updated as well.

The label of the button then displays the name, state and color of the respective student... or does it?

My problems at this point: The state (as displayed on the buttons) updates only when the color changes and when it does it changes the color for all the buttons and not just the one. I would like the buttons to change their color individually and the label to update on each press of a button. Sadly I have not found the correct syntax to do so.

My questions:

How can I set a default color (green) within my class? How do I persuade my buttons to change color individually? How would I get my labels to update on buttonPress?

Thanks in advance!

Code

I have a little library where I can define integer types. These are intended for type-safe indexing into arrays and strings in the kind of algorithms I often write. For example, I can use it to define an offset type, Offset and an index type, Idx such that you can get an Offset by subtracting two Idx, you can get Idx by adding or subtracting Offset, but you cannot for example multiple or add Idx.

I previously asked this question, but know I've distilled it down to a single block of example code that can be run in a playground.

The basis of the question is that I have two views being switched by a parent view. A content view and a settings view. The content view has 3 labels with the 3rd label's frame being set to match the widest size of the other two labels.

This works fine until I add an animation to the view that switches between the content view and settings view. But when I add that animation it 'cascades' into the content view, causing the 3 label to fly across the screen rather than just appear right justified.

Here's the sample code, cut and paste into a playground if you want to play with it.

The following code is simplified and isolated. It is intended to have a Text() view, which shows the number of times the button has been clicked, and a Button() to increment the text view.

The issue: Clicking the button does not actually change the Text() view, and it continues to display "1"

I'm adding some swift playgrounds to a public GitHub repo but i'm unsure which files to commit and push.

Here are the files in one playground

I have a button with dynamic text. I'm looking to scale the text down to fit it (as much as possible), and wrap the text to some number of lines (probably 2?).

By default, SwiftUI appears to wrap the text on words. But it seems like when I use the scaledToFit modifier on my Text view, it prevents the words from wrapping.

Here is some playground code to illustrate:

I'm trying to roll my own dependency injection mechanism in TypeScript, and I've come across an interesting problem. When declaring my dependencies, I have to use named functions instead of arrow functions (which are my default typically), otherwise I get circular declaration errors.

Below are the set of types that make up my dependency resolver:

When a link is in a comment, Xcode makes it blue instead of gray, but is there a way for the link to actually be clickable and not simply a blue font?

Is a comment link clickable in Swift Playgrounds?

I'm trying to overload the % operator for doubles in Swift. I realize the reason that the two methods on the Double type exist, but truncatingRemainder()'s behavior works fine for my use case.

I'm using Xcode Playgrounds to work through this problem and I thought I had it solved.
