? Motivation
As my New Year's resolution, I decided to explore something new and fun in the iOS ecosystem. I came up with the thought of building a small and simple game to experience the game development by learning SpriteKit API. As such, Hoop comes to life. Genuinely, the journey was not smooth enough and had some struggles with SpriteKit at the beginning because of my unfamilarity with the framework. However, I could manage to overcome burdens by researching on the framework along with the help of StackOverflow ?. Overall, it was a fun and thrilling adventure of crafting it.
