Procedurally generated puzzles keep the action fresh. Couch co-op, party game. Bomb defusing is a team endeavor. Going solo is not an option! Only one copy of the game needed. If you can talk to each other, you can play! Try using your favorite voice chat service and playing remotely. Mission & Free Play Modes. Where the game gets interesting is in the Strategy and Puzzle modes, which will work your brain and test your patience. The game's system requirements are very modest. MacPlay recommends a 400MHz.

Hacking with macOS teaches you Swift and macOS frameworks through real-world AppKit and SwiftUI projects. The book includes the same comprehensive Swift introduction as Hacking with Swift, but is also packed with hints and tips that help you transfer your existing iOS skills to macOS painlessly.

Hacking with macOS includes 18 AppKit projects, plus three more SwiftUI projects, helping you make the most of this powerful platform.

Project 1: Storm Viewer

Get started coding in Swift by making an image viewer app and learning key user interface components: windows, table views, images, and split view controllers.

Project 2: Cows and Bulls

Build on your NSTableView knowledge by adding a second column, while also learning about random numbers, text input and validation, and push buttons.

Project 3: Social media

Return to project 1 and add a toolbar button so that users can share their selected picture using Mail, Messages, AirDrop, and more – it's easier than you think!

Project 4: Grid Browser

Pogo panic mac os. Power up your web browsing experience by viewing more than one site at a time, all thanks to NSStackView and the WebKit framework. Bonus: add controls to the Touch Bar!

Project 5: Capital Cities

The MapKit framework lets us draw maps at any resolution, then drop pins where we want it – it's perfect for a fun game about capital cities of the world!

Project 6: Auto Layout

Your macOS apps need to be able to resize themselves to fit your users' needs, and Auto Layout can make that happen – you specify the rules, and it does the rest.

Project 7: Photo Memories

Meet NSCollectionView for the first time, then add drag and drop image support so users can create watermarked home videos from their favorite images.

Project 8: Odd One Out

Learn how NSGridView lets you space user interface controls evenly on your screen, then use it to build a picture-matching game with some special effects! Goodbye (mezzanine) mac os.

Project 9: Grand Central Dispatch

GCD is a powerful framework that lets you schedule work at different times and on different threads, and this technique project gives you all you need to know.

Project 10: WeatherBar

See how easy it is to place your app's icon and menu right in the macOS status bar, then build an app to display your local weather using JSON and GCD.

Project 11: Bubble Trouble

SpriteKit has physics built right in, so this project sees you creating a physics-based bubble popping game with timers, sound effects, and more.

Project 12: Animation

Animation on macOS isn't easy, but it is powerful. In this project we build an animation sandbox to help you find ways to bring your user interface to life.

Project 13: Screenable

NSDocument brings with it great features like versioning, autosave, and more, and this project combines it with Core Graphics to build a screenshot-editing app.

Project 14: Shooting Gallery

Build a fast-paced SpriteKit shooting gallery game that brings together animations, new level support, custom mouse cursor, and keyboard input.

Project 15: UndoManager

Go back to project 12 and learn how you can add support for undo and redo using Cocoa's powerful UndoManager class and only a few extra lines of code.

Project 16: Bookworm

Use bindings to design an app that tracks the books you've read, their authors and your star rating, all while writing fewer than 20 lines of code. No, really!

Project 17: Match Three

Take your SpriteKit knowledge further by building a colorful ball-matching game, while also trying out shape nodes and particle emitters for the first time.

Project 18: Bindings

Practice your skill with Cocoa bindings by building a Fahrenheit to Celsius temperature converter, all powered by key-value coding and key-value observing.

While building projects, you'll learn all this and more:

  • How Cocoa on macOS differs from Cocoa Touch on iOS. (Note: if you're not interested in iOS, don't worry – you don't need any iOS experience to follow along, and the iOS parts are kept to a minimum!)
  • Creating advanced user interfaces with NSTableView, NSCollectionView, NSStackView, NSSplitView, and the all-new NSGridView.
  • How to build powerful, flexible layouts using SwiftUI.
  • How to build apps that look great in multi-window and tabbed user environments.
  • Designing your apps with powerful native components such as NSButton, NSTextView, NSSegmentedControl, NSImageView, and more.
  • Working with the filesystem, and using system services such as sharing and drag and drop.
  • Customizing your app's user interface so it looks great in both light and dark mode.
  • Designing interfaces with and without storyboards, plus Auto Layout, alerts, modals, and sheets.
  • Handling mouse and keyboard events, animation, concurrency, and more.

Hacking with macOS follows the same approach I used with Hacking with Swift: small, standalone projects that teach individual techniques starting from scratch, so you end up with a huge library of finished projects you can develop further or use as the base for something entirely new.

There are many ways to remotely control a Windows computer software such as using third party software or the built-in Remote Desktop feature. However, the choices of remotely controlling another computer that is running a different operating system can be quite limited. Although Windows dominates the computer market, but you can still find a lot of people using Macs that runs on OS X.

Console Hacking (strategy/puzzle) Mac Os X

Apple has their own remote access software called Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) which is a shareware that cost $79.99. It comes with some powerful features such as software distribution and automation to perform repetitive tasks on remote computers, but unfortunately it is meant for Mac to Mac and not cross platform.

In this article, we will be sharing a few methods on how you can remotely access Apple Mac computers from another computer running Windows for free.

1. TeamViewer

TeamViewer is one of the most popular remote access software that is commonly used to provide remote support because it is easy to use and comes with really powerful features such as file transfer, switch sides, conference call, VoIP, screen recording and etc. Other than that, TeamViewer also works on multiple operating systems where it allows you to control a Mac OS X system from a Windows computer.

You will need to download and install the 'HOST' version of TeamViewer on the Mac computer that you want to remotely control. As for the Windows computer that will be controlling the Mac computer, simply download the TeamViewer full version, install and run it. Enter the ID followed by the password and you're able to connect to the OS X machine. The ID will not change and always stay the same on the machine.

The TeamViewer Host options can be accessed by clicking on the TeamViewer icon at the menu bar and select Preferences. You can change your password, configure the voice, microphone and phone conferencing, access control and etc.

Download TeamViewer Host for Mac

2. LogMeIn Free

LogMeIn Free allows you to conveniently remotely control a Mac computer running OS X from Windows through its web interface or the Firefox plugin. First you will need to create a free account, then login from the Mac computer and click the Add Computer button to download the LogMeIn Installer. After installation, you are able to access that computer from any other computer by logging in to LogMeIn. Do take note that the file transfer feature is disabled in the free version.

3. RealVNC Darkness and flame 2 mac os.

Although there are many versions of VNC which are mostly free, RealVNC targets the enterprise users by offering shareware version and cross platform support to Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and AIX. Similarly to LogMeIn, the free version of RealVNC provides a very basic remote access feature without file transfer, chat, session encryption, optimized performance, printing and deployment tool. You can use other VNC viewer such as TightVNC and UltraVNC to access the RealVNC server.

RealVNC is useless because it does not support data compression compatible with Mac VNC server. So it uses extremely slow and traffic-consuming uncompressed RGB.

Can you suggest a better VNC client or alternative strategy?

Logmein Free isn't completely free anymore. You can buy an account, and for IT people, you can buy Logmein Central, and then tie a couple of Logmein Pro pay-for machines to the account (easy). Then you are given logmein free subscriptions you can then tie into the account. If the remote access is going to give you an hourly rate or save you time (and time is money) then it is WORTH buying the annual subscription.
The thing that has always been an issue for me is Logmein wants to boast about their ability to stream the remote desktop as HD, and frankly that is just bells and whistles to me. That requires WAY more bandwidth, and is pointless in most cases. The GREAT thing about logmein, even over their join.me product, is you can cut back the color quality or even make it black and white. This SIGNIFICANTLY speeds up the remote session to make sure things work right. Join.me is a $100/yr subscription, to compete with their enterprise version rescue, but again the quality of the remote session is simply limiting and time wasting for the average IT guy who needs to help the user.
More to the point of Logmein Pro, you can actually perform secure file transfers, and monitor the system in a dashboard. The Dashboard for pro subscriptions ALSO gives you things like the top fifteen running processes, all scheduled tasks, the most current 15 lines of the event viewer log, etc. You can perform various levels of remote boot, and even utilize a scripting type offering called one to many.
It is incredibly powerful, and COMPLETELY worth the cost of the annual subscriptions.
(I do NOT work for Logmein, just an IT consultant.)

I was using the built in vnc server for osx, but with the last 10.8.5 update my connection got a lot of lag. I updated my vnc viewers to the latest but that didn't help. I finally downloaded the vine vnc server ( turned off the osx vnc server ) and bingo problem solved. Thanks for the article, it was a great help.

thanks a lot
