What about releasing it for iPhones users with jailbroken devices? You could reach more than 100 people.

The easiest way i've found for healkthkit steps is to have a helper class

Code:

import HealthKit

class HealthKitManager {
    let storage = HKHealthStore()
    
    init()
    {
        checkAuthorization()
    }
    
    func checkAuthorization() -> Bool
    {
        // Default to assuming that we're authorized
        var isEnabled = true
        
        // Do we have access to HealthKit on this device?
        if HKHealthStore.isHealthDataAvailable()
        {
            // We have to request each data type explicitly
            let steps = NSSet(object: HKQuantityType.quantityTypeForIdentifier(HKQuantityTypeIdentifierStepCount)!)
            
            // Now we can request authorization for step count data
            storage.requestAuthorizationToShareTypes(nil, readTypes: steps as? Set<HKObjectType>) { (success, error) -> Void in
                isEnabled = success
            }
        }
        else
        {
            isEnabled = false
        }
        
        return isEnabled
    }
    
    func recentSteps(date : NSDate, completion: (Double, NSError?) -> () )
    {
        // The type of data we are requesting (this is redundant and could probably be an enumeration
        let type = HKSampleType.quantityTypeForIdentifier(HKQuantityTypeIdentifierStepCount)
        
        // Our search predicate which will fetch data from now until a day ago
        // (Note, 1.day comes from an extension
        // You'll want to change that to your own NSDate
        
        let predicate = HKQuery.predicateForSamplesWithStartDate(date, endDate: NSDate(), options: .None)
        
        // The actual HealthKit Query which will fetch all of the steps and sub them up for us.
        let query = HKSampleQuery(sampleType: type!, predicate: predicate, limit: 0, sortDescriptors: nil) { query, results, error in
            var steps: Double = 0
            
            if results?.count > 0
            {
                for result in results as! [HKQuantitySample]
                {
                    steps += result.quantity.doubleValueForUnit(HKUnit.countUnit())
                }
            }
            
            completion(steps, error)
        }
        
        storage.executeQuery(query)
    }}

you can then use

Code:

HealthKitManager().checkAuthorization()

to check if the user has give you permission

the to get the steps i do

Code:

var stepCount = 0.0
HealthKitManager().recentSteps(yesterday!) { steps, error in
                            stepCount = steps
                        }

I do the work on the exp etc seperatily but you can do it instead of the stepCount = steps
the yesterday variable is a nssdate

That sounds like an amazing idea!

When I get a chance to work on it I'll definitely try that out!

thank you very much :)

1. Set the egg found and hatched dates
2. Get the area selection working properly
3. Properly integrate apple health steps
4. Get the End Of Day sequence to work
5. Data persistence between loads

Okay I have finally updated the first post with the new screenshots!

I am still unable to work on the project itself unfortunately, but once I get a chance there is only a few things I need to complete to get a working app!

1. Set the egg found and hatched dates
2. Get the area selection working properly
3. Properly integrate apple health steps
4. Get the End Of Day sequence to work
5. Data persistence between loads

The only thing that stumps me now is how to implement the end of day. I have written pseudo code and am pretty confident I can get the code itself to work - it is just the trouble of the timing of it. I want the End Of Day (calculating if an egg is found) at 10PM, but will this only happen when the app is open? At 10PM? What is the user opens the app after 10PM or the next morning? Will the app update with the steps and egg? If the app is shut will the user get a notification and will the calcs be done anyway?

I am hoping for the last one, that way when the user opens the app next they get the EOD storyboard if the next open is after 10PM or the next day.

I will have to do more research on that and data persistence for custom objects before any real progress is made!

I will upload the xcode project itself tonight, but it hasn't been commented :s

One way to do the EOD is log the last date/time the user last opened the app, then check if 10pm has passed
IE, log user at 19.28 - user then runs app at 22.30 - run eod
log user at 22.01 - user then runs at 22.49 - don't run

As for data persistence, take a look at core data

This looks and sounds incredible! Love the idea, and your doing great! Two things though:

1) Pokemon could still technically come in here and C and D you right now if they wanted, but that usually doesn't happen. And I hope it doesn't!

2)I'd change the name. Pokefarm is the name of a site where you collect and breed eggs as pokemon atm. Which I'm actually surprised is still running as they make money off it.... Anyway the owner is a pretty mean guy, to the point where he got the co creator to quit, and he cold see this and want you to change the name, or maybe go straight for pokemon. Again hope this doesn't happen, but I thought I'd warn you!

This project is great though!

This looks amazing, too bad it's for iPhone ;-; would definitely play it on Android lol.

Back on topic. Love the idea, great concept as well as well as execution from what you've shown us. If you have any banners or support images I'd to throw one in my signature.

Also, why does Red have Green's Venusaur? Blue have Red's Charizard? and Green have Blue's Blastoise? ._.

Wanted to express my support for this project once again, since I know it's always important for the mental health of the creator to have supporters.
I must admit I probably won't have an iphone anytime soon, but this game/concept looks really great!

wait... I thought this was gen 4 game rather than gen 2 based game

1. The initial project was started without HealthKit entitlements, and it was difficult to add it mid project (it wouldn't let me run it on my phone for some reason)
2. I'm a nostalgic fool

juliorain said:

well I'm sure you'll be able to find a spriter willing to do it. Start with the gen III and IV baby and new evos of Gen I and II and build up from there
