6Pack Calc

A RubyMotion application brought to you by Off The Grid Apps.

Ever wonder how much you’re really paying for that pint of beer? Or how much that 64oz growler actually costs without having to do conversions in your head?

With Six-Pack Equivalent Calculator, you put in the cost of your beer and the amount you got and the app will tell you the cost if you bought a six-pack of that particular beer.

The idea is that everyone knows how much a six-pack of their favorite beer costs. This converter will help you determine the price of what you’re drinking right now to an equivalent you are already familiar with!

I was happy to realize that a $9 fill of my 1/2 gallon growler (64oz) at my local brewpub was the equivalent of a $10.12 six-pack! That’s a great deal for craft beer when I’m used to paying upwards of $12 or more for good craft beer.

Objective-C to RubyMotion

This app was converted from Objective-C to Rubymotion over the course of 2 days and aproximately 5-7 hours (everything, including new icon and app submission). If you want to see the legacy Objective-C code, check out the SixPackCalc.objectivec.zip file. But watch out, this code is extremely old and hasn't been tested in the current version of Xcode. I can't promise it'll work, but you can look through the source to see how much easier it is to do in RubyMotion!

Download from the App Store

How to run the app:

1. You must have a valid license of RubyMotion.
2. Run bundle
3. Run rake pod:install
4. Run rake
5. The simulator should launch automatically.
