App Interface

The app starts with a group of cards each representing a character of the series along with a random age assigned to each character because they are 🌟 AGELESS 🌟 , and it shows:

1) Character Card

The characters related info are stored in a dictionary named (cast) in the following order :

Character Name
Character Image
Character Role
Character Nickname
Character Summary Note : age is randomly generated we don't need to store it in the dictionary

 var cast = [
       ("Mr.Heckles","Heckles","Retired - Complaining 24/7","Old Man Heckles,The Weird Man","Mr. Heckles lived in the apartment below Monica and Rachel. He often complained about the apparent noise that the two made, either in person or by tapping on his apartment ceiling with a broom ! "),
       
       ("Janice","Janice","OH MY GOD !","Just Janice","She is known for her obnoxious and nasally voice and her trademark cry of \"OH MY GOD!\"")]

Each card will only display 4 details which are (Name , Image , Role , Age), and for the age, it will be a random number between 5 to 85 which will be displayed using (AgeLabel)

Note : that the age will change each time the app runs because it is random

cell.AgeLabel.text = "Age : \(Int.random(in: 5...85)) Years Old"// random age changing with every run :)

2) Character Info Dialog

On the right-top corner of the card there is an info button which will display an alert dialog viewing more info about the character, which are :

Character Image
Character Nickname
Character Summary

@IBAction func infoButtonPressed(_ sender: UITableViewCell) {
       var currentCast = cast[sender.tag]// making use of the tags i assigned at (line 49) to get the corresponding cast member
       
       let alert = UIAlertController(title: "\(currentCast.0) !", message: "\nNickname:\n\(currentCast.3)\n\nAbout:\n\(currentCast.4)" , preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.alert)
       
       var imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 60, y: -150, width: 150, height: 150))//adding image at the top of the alert
       imageView.image = UIImage(named:currentCast.1)
       alert.view.addSubview(imageView)
       // add an action (button)
       alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "ok", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default, handler: { action in self}))
       // show the alert
       self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
   }
