Hi everyone and welcome to month #10 of the 2025 Year of Code! As we’ve done previously, this is the topic to share your October project, which has the theme of Multi-Platform Communication.
We’re starting things off with MPACSocket, a tiny, reusable UDPSocket subclass that enables zero-config, local-network presence and chat across platforms from Xojo’s @Gabriel_Ludosanu
Remember: To be entered in the drawings for this month’s prize and the grand prize at the end, you need to share your code, preferably on GitHub. Refer to this blog post if you need help with getting your project on GitHub.
Just over a week left in the penultimate Year of Code challenge! Submit your Multi-Platform Communication projects in this thread.
With only 2 Year of Code months left (October & November) I thought it would be fun to recognize some of the most active participants. The top contributor overall is @Wolfgang_Schwarz, who has submitted projects for 7 challenges. @Philip_Cumpston comes in second with 5, and @Serge_Louvet1 and @Jürg_Otter each have 3. A big thank you to all of you for your continued creativity and enthusiasm throughout the year!
Thanks to everyone who has participated in this Year of Code. I look forward to what you create this month and next
A complete real-time GPS tracking solution consisting of an iOS mobile app and a macOS web server. Track your location continuously, sync data over WiFi, and visualise your GPS tracks on an interactive web map. The code is located here
If you try it out, you need to build the iPhone app and move it to an iPhone before the map works. Read the README files before compiling the two applications. The iPhone app contains the class needed for GPS tracking. Good Luck!
