I'm looking to learn Obj-C and have been requested to make a 10,000 clone. I'm going with Xk as the name...how brilliant!

I've got a bit of it done (random numbers and such) but am falling on my face when it comes to really doing anything.

If someone wants help that would be fantastic! It would be a fairly short-term project and would need to be open-source. I've been loving the fact that I can find source all over the place and I want to contribute as much I can back to that pool. It's great to be able to get some materials to work from when you're trying to learn a new (or your first) language.

The only source I've contributed back so far is in Nicer. It's not very pretty (as it was a quickly cleaned proof-of-concept mostly) but it's functional. I'd like to rewrite it in Obj-C as soon as I learn the ropes but if that's a direction you'd like to go let me know.

Either way, dice or Nicer..it's mostly for the learning experience. If you're interested you can reach me at ryanstevens@mac.com

thanks!

let me rephrase a bit and add to what I was saying since I was doped up on pain killers for my back...

I've got a bit of it done (random numbers and such) but am falling on my face when it comes to really doing anything.

I've got most of Xk done. I'm not having much trouble with that. What I would like to do is write a host-application for other dice games. So I (and other people) can write and plug-in other dice games and they'll be accessible through a common-interface.

I hope that makes a little more sense.

Then I go on about Nicer it looks like..

Well, it would be nice to rewrite that in Obj-C but since I don't know much I'm kind of stuck. So, if you want to do it or help me through it that would be cool. More small (but useful) open-source applications is a good thing. Especially in Obj-C since most of what I've found seems to be near feature-complete monsterous works of art that are hard for the newcomers (like me) to follow.

Sick as a dog and back pains to boot and I'm still on the board makin' myself look dumb...I guess I really do like OSX! :-)
