Recreating Magic The Gathering in SwiftUI

24 June 2024

Over the past year, I’ve been spending more time exploring design ideas in code.

A recent project that I’ve just completed was to recreate every detail of the Magic the Gathering card structure in SwiftUI, with a wrapper app around this to swipe and search through a set of cards saved in JSON.

I had so much fun doing this, and the great thing about SwiftUI is how quickly you’re able to move from rough idea to a fully interactive prototype. Resources like Hacking with Swift and Copilot have helped speed up that cycle even further.
