Hi Ryan ,
Thanks for the tutorial . I have a requirement where i am supposed to give a color to the blur view . Is there any way where i can set a color to my blurView .[currently there are only 2 colors . Dark- black , Light-White]
I tried setting the background color property and by reducing aplha value below 1.0 . But if I do this the blur effect is no longer visible .
Is there any other way . ?
Currently the sample project is no longer compatible with the new changes of the Swift language. 
I could’t download the starter project , can i download from the GitHub
This project is so broken. The swift code needs update badly. I’m currently looking at it but Xcode fails to autoconvert it, and I’m not a swifter really.
Please update the tutorial for swift 3.
I tried to manually correct the compiler errors in Swift 3 (after the XCode auto-conversion), but I got stuck in Story.swift, which appears to need a total rewrite to make it compatible. I hope Ryan will update it.
It would be great to get a working source project for Xcode 9 because of unavailable migrating tool in Xcode 9 for projects with Swift 2.x version…
This tutorial is more than six months old so questions regarding it are no longer supported for the moment. We will update it as soon as possible. Thank you! :]
