Slot machine animation using UITableView

Question

I need to implement slot-machine animation according to provided design and timings.

It should perform infinite scroll, until some event will be triggered. After that animation, it should slow down and stop on defined position

For this task I have used next solution:

• UITableView with fixed-height cell. It is the same cell with the only difference - icon or text (depends on indexPath.row)
• Scroll is only down-to-up that's why I'm using last cell as start point in resetScrollPosition method
• If first element reached, scroll position resets to start point
• Animation performed as contentOffset change with linear option. In completion block, if animation is still needed, it's called again. If don't needed - slowing animation with easeOut option started

var isRolling: Bool = false

func startScroll() {
    isRolling = true

    UIView.animate(
        withDuration: 0.05,
        delay: 0,
        options: .curveLinear,
        animations: {
            self.tableView.contentOffset.y -= self.rowHeight
    },
        completion: { _ in
            if self.isRolling {
                self.startScroll()
            } else {
                self.resetScrollPosition

                UIView.animate(
                    withDuration: 0.7,
                    delay: 0,
                    options: .curveEaseOut,
                    animations: {
                         self.tableView.contentOffset.y -= 8 * self.rowHeight
                },
                    completion: nil
                )
            }
    })
}

private func resetScrollPosition() {
    tableView.reloadData()

    tableView.contentOffset.y = startOffset
    tableView.reloadData()
}

func stopScroll() {
    isRolling = false
}

The problems:

1. After calling resetScrollPosition, in animations completion block, tableviews contentOffset.y value is updated but tableView stays on the same position. I have tried to change direct contentOffset changing to setContentOffset, scrollToRow, scrollToRect, wrap it in main queue - no changes
2. Slowing animation should scroll 8 items. It's performed but first 6 items aren't visible during animation, only the last two. Check the issue gif (jump 2 -> 11 is ok):

Answer 1

Replaced UITableView with UIScrollView
