One of my goals for the year was to release some open-source Objective-C code. I am happy to say that I nave now accomplished that goal!
ReallyRandom is an Objective-C class for retrieving truly random numbers from http://random.org. It supports synchronous and asynchronous operation and offers much nicer timeouts than the standard 30 second or 240 second timeouts. I know this class might not exactly have widespread appeal, but maybe someone will find it useful one day. You can get the code from GitHub.
I wrote this class as part of my latest app, which I hope to complete by the end of April. After all, I have to live up to the ‘App Per Month’ name, don’t I?
As I am still an absolute beginner when it comes to Objective-C, I would love any feedback on coding style, best practices, and API usage.
