Customized animated HUD

[giovanepossebon]

Build a lib with a customized HUD, which you can set an array of images to animated the hud when instantiated, and if you don't, use a default spinner;

How will we named this lib?

• OCHud?

[giovanepossebon]

Cool, another suggestion: "OCAnimatedHud"

[Morbix]

Animated suggest too much importance for the animation feature. Like if the diference against other HUDS is the animation, but it is not. Is just another HUD with a mix of common others features.

[Morbix]

We need two things: a lib name, and class/struct name for usage.

[giovanepossebon]

We can use OCHud for the lib, and a struct with a simple name like "hud", which sounds natural and simple in the middle of the code and it's not reserved or similar to anything from native framework...

Some syntax examples:

• Example 1
  • hud.spinner.show()
  • hud.animated.show()
  • hud.progress.start()
• Example 2
  • HUD.Spinner.show()
  • HUD.Animated.show()
  • HUD.Progress.start()
• Example 3
  • Hud.Spinner.show()
  • Hud.Animated.show()
  • Hud.Progress.start()
• Example 4
  • SpinnerHUD.show()
  • AnimatedHUD.show()
  • ProgressHUD.start()

[giovanepossebon]

I prefer the first example! But the last one is OK too!

[Morbix]

I thing the SwiftLint will claim about the first character not capitalized.

• SpinnerHUD.show()
• AnimatedHUD.show()
• ProgressHUD.start()
• MessageHUD.show()

The first version with SpinnerHUD was released: https://github.com/OpenCraft/OCHuds

@giovanepossebon I think we can close this issue, can't we?
