In 2023, applicants were tasked with creating a Swift Playgrounds app project on the topic of your choice to showcase their passion for coding. Here’s how Panuwat describes his winning submission.

"Arkom" is an endless runner game where the player must avoid ghosts that come down from the top of the screen.
