One of the apps I use everyday during iOS development is Codebox (Mac-App-Store Link) . If you havn't bought/installed it already I suggest you do ;)

What codebox does is give you a place where you can store all you're code snippets and tag them, which makes them extremely easy to search/navigate through and tons of other features. Your whole "Code Snippet" library is saved into one single file (I suspect with a type of .xml architecture).

ANYWAY...I've decided to share my "Codebox" file which you can easily open with the code box app or import. I've currently got 43 enteries explaining and showing examples of basic Objective-C and cocos2D practices like loops, data types, arrays, dictionaries, memory management, methods, messages, accelerometer, CCMotionStreak, CCLayer, etc., etc. (Detailed list coming soon!).

I will update this page regularly with the newest version of my codebox

Last update:05.05.2011

Current Code Entries:43

head over to ablfx.com for the download link: http://www.ablfx.com/?page_id=368

P.S. This codebox is far from perfect and there might even be small mistakes in there so I'd really appreciate some feedback if you notice anything...It will definitely become more polished over time!

i also use the CodeBox for algorithms I used once and some handy scripts, but mine is a little smaller so I won't share it - yet! ;)

That looks like a cool app!

I like the idea of sharing useful functions or code snippets with the community. The developer should add support for sharing directly through the app.

I've moved my CodeBox share over to GitHub (easier to maintain that way ;) )

+Updated to version 0.1.1 with NSString, File Management

Git Link: https://github.com/ablfx/Ablfx-CodeBox

Hah, when i asked about GitHub or Gist, i thought about using them INSTEAD of cbxml.
I don't want to install codebox, so https://gist.github.com/957960 was better for me.

What i like in GitHub / Gist is that i can see any piece of code in the browser, without any special programs, on many devices & OSes: iPod Touch/iPad/ Mac/ Win.

So maybe it will be handy to have .m or other sources files in you repo, as well as cbxml file. ;)

I know you wanted Gist :) I'll probably get to that tomorrow....lot of copy and paste :D

Since Gist only supports a limited number of files per "Gist" I'l have to split in into parts. Here are the first two (Objective-C part)
Part 1: https://gist.github.com/960889
Part 2: https://gist.github.com/960895

Cocos2D parts will probably be available tomorrow

This is really great thing for beginners and not only beginners ;)
Thanks for sharing!

BTW, probably it will be handy to create PDF of XCode coloured text for print version - could be really usefull to have one on the desk while working. It's something for the release version.

You could even create a little book from this in the future.

Feedback:

int integerName = 345;

switch (integerName) {
case 340:
NSLog(@"integerName is 345");
break;
case 341:
NSLog(@"integerName is 345");
break;
case 342:
//...
case 343:
//...
case 344:
//...
case 345:
//...
default:
//gets called if none of the "cases" "match"
break;
}

// alternative:

int integerName = 345;

switch (integerName) {
case 340:
NSLog(@"integerName is 340");
break;
case 341:
NSLog(@"integerName is 341");
break;

case 342:
case 343:
  NSLog(@"integerName is 342 OR 343")
break;

case 344:
  NSLog(@"integerName is 344")
break;
case 345:
  NSLog(@"integerName is 345"); // we will come here
break;
//...
default:
//gets called if none of the "cases" "match"
  NSLog(@"integerName is not a 340,341,342,343,344,345");
break;
}

@vogueestylee You need a mac app called "CodeBox" available in the Mac App Store:

(it's worth it ;) )

Personally I use Evernote for my code snippets, would love to actually see your cocos2d snippets but I guess that's not possible without CodeBox.

No, unfortunately not. Although the name contains 'XML' it's impossible to unpack the code properly. However I really like using CodeBox. In my case I use Evernote for inspirational material and ideas: Everything interesting I see/every good idea is saved.
