The Swift challenge page mentions playgrounds in both Swift Playgrounds and Xcode. Do I have to use an app playground or can I instead use an app project in Xcode? I feel more comfortable working with an Xcode project. Is it possible to convert my project to a .swiftpm file later?
Thanks
Do I have to use an app playground … ?
The public doc is pretty clear about this:
For your submission to the Swift Student Challenge, you’ll submit a playground with an interactive scene that can be experienced within three minutes.
[The emphasis is mine.]
I feel more comfortable working with an Xcode project.
You and me both (-:
Is it possible to convert my project to a
.swiftpmfile later?
I don’t think there’s an automated way to do that, but they use the same code and resources so you could do it yourself. However, I have one word of caution: Xcode projects are much more flexible than Swift playgrounds, so make sure you don’t take a dependency on some Xcode feature that you can’t ‘port over’ to your playground.
Share and Enjoy
