I do not know if this helps but keep your code in the”lock/unlock” part short and do not issue any other messages/events in it. As an example look at the code in part “C - Oops, It goes too slow” here: https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/livecode/flappy-bird-3 The problem you are having seems like ...

You could make your own with LiveCode - action games, matching games, timed games, and others. You could give them the LiveCode source and let them customize them with their own graphics, motions and even questions/answers.

I learned and programmed in assembly language when I first started. It really takes programming to its basics. In fact any other language that you may write in is ultimately compiled Into machine language/assembly language. (Assembly language is basically machine language with human readable tags) L...

That is great. You are making progress! There are at least 2 ways that you can pull off the temperature part of that item. 1. Treat it as another list but instead of the items being separated with commas (,), it uses colons (:). So you change the item-delimiter from a comma to a colon and pull off t...

You can pick off the items that you want from the data. They are separated by commas Looking at your data: 07:57 AM,12,54,116,http://cdn.worldweatheronline.net/image ... png,Partly cloudy,4,7,130,SE,7.0,100,16,1023,50 2018-06-20,21,70,10,50,05:31 AM,08:30 PM,01:17 PM,01:16 AM,First Quarter,34 2018-0...

If you just want the temperature, you can use an api to get that data from the weather site. Then you can format and show it in text or use your own graphics. It gives you more control and allows you to customize your screen. You can also get other related data, like the wind speed, the sky conditio...

You have nothing to apologize for. I was not offended. I was trying to simplify the process and explain to the forum why I piggybacked on your email. Using sitesucker, I downloaded the entire site and if it ever goes down, I may try to replace it. It was done using Google Sites and has a lot of thei...

Sorry, I was just trying to be helpful. That page may no longer be reachable from the site and it highlights apps from other members of this forum. The site also has so many pages by now that it is almost too much. I just wanted to highlight some of the better links. (and save the original poster so...

Great idea. You are correct. Having benchmarks would be really useful. Students often have older/slower computers and cellphones. So we worry about size and speed of games. We always used the 6x over the 7x and 8x versions of LiveCode for games because they were faster, less buggy and made smaller s...

I have always done it using images.

There is a simple lesson on how to do it at https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/li ... ng-terrain

I did, briefly but I am not good on video. Besides, I am not a great fan of videos myself. Too much pausing, backing up and replaying. Videos either go too fast or too slow. I prefer working from screens. I find it easier to follow along.

Do you use videos a lot?

I did not subscribe to the Global presentations this year because too many of the presentations were over my head orof no use to me. They seemed to be aimed more at advanced developers/professionals rather than beginners or hobby developers. What I would have liked was short simple ones to introduce...

Thank you for the resource. I found the introduction to Chapter 4, and Chapter 13 useful and interesting.
