Hey everyone,
I'm beyond excited to share that I've been selected as a Distinguished Winner in this year's Swift Student Challenge! 🎉
It all started last summer, in the middle of a Western Culture class. I was zoning out , and my attention drifted to the Apple Pencil in my hand.
And then ,it hit me — this thing is literally a next-level game controller.
Think about it:
pixel-perfect precision, haptic feedback, multiple built-in sensors...
Why aren't we using this for gaming?
And that got me thinking — why have we spent the last 500 years treating the "pencil" as just a tool for creation, and not for play? Since graphite pencils were invented in 1564, we've had this incredibly natural way to interact with 2D and 3D space... and nobody's fully tapped into it for games.
So, I did something about it.
I built a game that's 100% controlled by the Apple Pencil yep, just the Pencil. I know what you're thinking: "How does that even work??" And honestly, I'd love to tell you... but I'm in the final stages of getting it onto the App Store, and it should be live within the next couple of weeks. So for now... 🤐😄
In the meantime, I've set up a Discord server for anyone who's curious about the gameplay, the design, or just wants to brainstorm ideas with me. If you're into creative controls, game design, or just want to hang — come join the conversation!
