Under the Bridge

Here’s another nifty open source project for you to mine for code tips: the SC68 Player!

SC68 Player allows you to browse and play songs from the Atari ST SNDH YM2149 Archive on your iPhone or iPod Touch.The Atari ST music archive consists of old “chip”-music from games, and the Atari ST demo-scene that are in the public domain. A song is generally less than 10k and there is currently over 3000 songs available.

This is from the same fellow who did the sorted insert NSArray code we mentioned a couple days back, and there’s all sorts more interesting stuff in here. You particularly have to take a look at his awesome “VisualMoveQue” cell selection animation. It’s worth downloading the app just to check that out, even if you’re not into Atari ST music. Seriously.

And once you’re impressed enough to think hey we are so doing something like that in our apps — download the code here and dig away in ‘UIWindow+VisualMoveQue.m’ to figure out just how he’s doing that neat trick!
