It’s here! My submission for WWDC24 Swift Student Challenge is PowerGrid, an educational simulation game that puts you in charge of managing a city’s electric grid.

This iOS redesign looks mighty familiar… #WWDC25

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

I decided to continue working on this app even after the deadline has ended. Might upload it to the App Store once I polish it enough.

@martinoocella Absolutely stunning. This would win Distinguished if you were allowed to win it again.

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

@_frncg Good luck, I hope you get into the top 50!

@rudrank When they gave us an exclusive demo during WWDC24, it worked fine with some weird quirks. Though it was a controlled showcase. It’s kinda bizarre it’s still not here.

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

Seeing all the Swift Student Challenge winners from Southeast Asian get PR coverage except for me because Apple doesn’t have PR people in the Philippines.

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

@mufasaYC They did the same thing last year! Some applicants like me would make their submission months in advance haha

@joogps I JUMPED 😭

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

I redid the Personal Voice recording and processing in the iOS 18 beta. I think the iOS 18 version sounds more natural and less robotic than the iOS 17 version.

iOS 17 Personal Voice vs iOS 18 Personal Voice:

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

I tried out the Personal Voice feature out of curiosity and I am amazed and terrified at the same time. 🤯

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

The new Music Haptics accessibility feature from iOS 18 is so cool. Trying it on with different songs rn.

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

Just updated. 👀

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

I miss 3D Touch/Force Touch. ☹️

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

@tuvsho_t @EEhare It’s a global competition, open to all students as long as they meet the age requirement. You may check out https://t.co/Y8MGOy5RGn for more information. Submissions usually open around February or March. Good luck!

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

I just had an unforgettable 3 days at Apple. Shoutout to @EEhare and everyone who makes the #SwiftStudentChallenge program possible. I will forever treasure the moments I had with Apple folks and my fellow student developers. I will seriously miss everyone! 🫡 #WWDC24

[Dolfo @devjoseadolfo]

@EEhare What an experience. Huge thanks to you and the entire WWDR team! ❤️
