this week i'm FINALLY going to share + open-source three little random projects I've been working on! here's the first one: BALL it's just a little ball that lives in your dock. take it out, throw it around, put it back. comes in one color: red. bouncy.

it's inspired by this classic Dock widget by @nheagy which i have lots of fond memories of (hey i shouldve added a motion blur!)

technically, the Ball is a transparent SpriteKit window with a physics body (the ball). the only remotely interesting thing here is that it animates in/out of its dock icon. you technically can't do this, but you can SORTA guess where the dock icon is, so it SORTA works!

imagine if you could change the color of the ball. you can't. but just imagine. it could even be an image such as your face. but only if you do it yourself anyway, here's the code (plus a pre-built download): stay tuned for project 2 of 3 tomorrow :)

Reminded me of Stress Relief from back in the day. How’s that not come back in style on Mac????

Would it be possible to have it interact with the cursor instead of having to click on it ? Like I could just hit it with the mouse and it will go flying

ooh that’s clever…

BALL

this is amazing

So good! Bring back fun, personal-scale software! Would be a dream to see someone building ball on Playbit later this year

Very interesting, does it not work on Apple Silicon Macbook?

@DavidWShadow oh weird! looks like an issue with the zip file. just changed to a dmg -- does this work?
