Inspiration
I wanted to create an app that would easily let users manipulate data and see what results were produced.
What it does
Where should you live determines the perfect city for you. Assuming the only factor you want to take into account is the weather. You are presented with buttons that allow you to create a formula. Once you've created the formula all the city are plugged into it and ranked by highest score.
How I built it
I used Xcode and programmed in swift.
Challenges I ran into
Swift does now use integer indexes to access substrings. There is a special String.Index class and you have to get to different indexes by referencing other indexes. It definitely took a moment to wrap my head around it.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The app works. It doesn't have as many features as I would have wanted but I'm glad I got the basics functioning.
What I learned
I learned some weather terms like Glaze and Haze. I also got some good practice making iPhone apps.
What's next for Where should you live?
Theres lots more features I wish I had time to implement. For example a normalize function where the numbers for different statistics are scaled relative to there average for easier comparison.
