Swift Playgrounds 4

1. gamebuilder

   1 6 209 10.0 C#

   Discontinued Game Builder is an application that allows users to create games with little or no coding experience.

   

   Unfortunately Google shelved it but they had a very similar project called Game Builder for Windows

   Here is the original introduction video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1hpFRztQGY

   Got open sourced so you can still download it https://github.com/googlearchive/gamebuilder

   Works perfectly under Linux with Wine or Proton.

   The last full Steam release is also included if you don't want to compile it (7z.001-7z.002-7z.003) https://github.com/googlearchive/gamebuilder/tree/master/bui...

   It's really fun and worth a try if you are looking for something similar not on Mac

2. InfluxDB

3. swift-evolution

   This maintains proposals for changes and user-visible enhancements to the Swift Programming Language.

   

   Apple is investing a lot in it, but Swift is much younger than Rust (especially as an open source project). There is a working group that meets every few weeks to shepherd the various projects. Most of the recent activity has been (AFAICT) about orchestration. Well, that and transitioning projects to use async/await and structured concurrency. Here's some recent activity in the Swift on server space:

   - the proposal for distributed actors is currently in-review (https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...)

   - a metrics API for backends like Graphite, Prometheus, etc. (https://github.com/apple/swift-metrics)

   - HTTP/2 support for SwiftNIO (https://github.com/apple/swift-nio-http2)

   - a new service discovery API (https://github.com/apple/swift-service-discovery)

   - a new distributed tracing API (https://github.com/apple/swift-distributed-tracing)

   - a Linux implementation of Apple's CryptoKit API on top of BoringSSL (https://github.com/apple/swift-crypto)

   I'm not pretending that it's taking the server-side world by storm, but there is a fair amount of ongoing activity Personally, I'm using it for a couple personal projects and it's been solid, but I'm already a macOS developer, so it wasn't a big stretch for me to reach for it.

4. swift-metrics

   3 2 698 6.9 Swift

   Metrics API for Swift

10. RVS_Generic_Swift_Toolbox

    8 3 6 6.9 Swift

    A Collection Of Various Swift Tools, Like Extensions and Utilities

    

    Found it, but it's not what I need.

    I need a target to be a playground; not a project.

    The idea is to be able to assign resources, files, and SPM modules to a playground, so they are available to the code running in the playground (an example might be an SPM module like my Generic Swift Toolbox Module[0]). I can then work with the code I'm prototyping in a lightweight text file.
