Fun Facts Remix

Hello fellow iOS coders. I wanted to share a small modification I added onto the Fun Facts app. I'd also like to see what other people have done too. I added a fade-in effect to the funFactLabel.text The first step is to set the alpha to 0, followed by animationWithDuration for about two seconds and returning the alpha to 1.

Sample Code:

 @IBAction func showFunFact() {

        funFactLabel.alpha = 0 

        var randomColor = colorWheel.randomColor()
        view.backgroundColor = randomColor
        funFactButton.tintColor = randomColor
        funFactLabel.text = factBook.randomFact()

        UIView.animateWithDuration(2.0, animations: {
            self.funFactLabel.alpha = 1.0
        })
   }
}
