Why do we mostly use triangles to represent 3D

speed, simplicity, convention
We use triangles because they provide a fast way for a computer to represent surfaces, they’re pretty simple structures, and we’ve been using them for quite a while, so computer hardware is optimized for them.

make a cube
go to gameobject and choose cube.
select move tool to change dimension

now go to GameObject and select sphere
now how about cylinder

Game Object -> 3D Object -> Cube

How information flows

Context (notebook)
-> notification
FetchedResultsController
-> delegate
CoreDataTableViewController
-> update
TableView

saving images(BLOBs) and migrating data model

Importing large sets of objects into the database without blocking the user interface
Downloading new objects from a REST service and inserting them into the db.
Saving datasets in the background since saving can take a user-perceivable amount of time.

Filtering By Section

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)-> UITableViewCell{
	
	let note = fetchedResultsController?.object(at: indexPath) as! Note

	let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Note", for: indexPath)

	cell.textLabel?.text = note.text

	return cell
}
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSeque, sender: Any?){
	
	if segue.identifier! == "displayNote"{
	 	if let notesVC = segue.destination as? NotesViewController {

	 	let fr = NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>(entityName: "Note")

	 	fr.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "creationDate", ascending:false),NSSortDescriptor(key: "text", ascending: true)]

	 	let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow!
	 	let notebook = fetchedResultsController?.object(at: indexPath)

	 	let pred = NSPredicate(format: "notebook = %@", argumentArray: [notebook!])

	 	fr.predicate = pred

	 	let fc = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: fr, managedObjectContext:fetchedResultsController!.managedObjectContext, sectionNameKeyPath: nil, cacheName: nil)

Creating managed objects

import Foundation
import CoreData

extesion Note {
	@NSManaged var creationDate: NSDate?
	@NSManaged var text: String?
	@NSManaged var notebook: Notebook?
}
import Foundation
import CoreData

	convention init(text:String = "New Note", context: NSManagedObjectContext){
		if let ent = NSEntityDescription.entityForName("Note",
			inManagedObjectContext; context){
			self.init(entity: ent, insertIntoManagedObjectContext: context)
			self.text = text
			self.creationDate = NSDate()
		} else {
			fatalError("Unable to find Entity name!")
		}
	}
}

relationship

// Don't worry about the @NSManaged thing.
// it's just a cue to the compiler that the property
// will be managed by Core Date

Core Data intro

-core data intro
-core data architecture
-create a model, managed objects, and begin our own app

core data
Model(managed objects), View, Controller

Object Model
(aka “managed Object Model”)
-specifies app classes and relationships

Managed Object
-class:NSManagedObject
-example:a character of a game app
-saves the contents of its properties to a DB file

Context
-class:NSManagedObject+Context
-imagine as a place
-where objects live and where operations take place

Fetch request
-searches context for certain managed objects

Fetched Results Controller
-part of controller layer
-controls how data from a fetch request is displayed in a view

Stores
-where managed objects are stored

Store coordinator
-allow you to have multiple stores

The iOS file system

The iOS file system
The sandbox
Subfolders of the sandbox
Writing and reading to the file system

“sandbox”: where the app keeps all of its “stuff”.

Sandbox
Bundle Container – MyApp.app
-> executable code, resources
Data Container – Documents, Library, Temp
-> user data(Documents/Inbox), non-user data(Library/Applications Support, Library/Caches)
iCloud Container – …

Library/Preferences/info.myapp.mobile.plist

*Documents: important stuff
*Caches:
*Library:

1. Find where the sandbox is.
2. Write to a file

-NSFileManager to get the path to the sandbox
-String to write or read text files
-NSData to write or read binary files

func sandboxPlayground(){
	let fm = FileManager.default
	let urls = fm.urls(for:.documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)

		try "Hi There!".write(to: url!, atomically: true, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
	} catch { 
		print("Error while writing")
	}

		if content == "Hi There!"{
			print("yay")
		} else {
			print("oops")
		} 
	} catch {
		print("Something went wrong")
