Re: LiveCode to Education Industry API- Community project

Sorry I missed the meeting. I'm very interested in this topic. I'm now working for Moodle (open-source LMS) full-time and could help provide testing and samples of use cases, if that would help.

Re: Web Deployment

Today is the last day to contribute and help make our dream of Livecode->HTML5 a reality. Please consider donating if you can! :)

Re: We're Funding LiveCode For the Web

Excellent. :) I've been waiting for this for years! In particular, I hope to be able to use this to develop a SCORM kit so educators can make interactive content that can be embedded in systems like Moodle. This would be a huge help. Most of the tools we have access to for this purpose are very expe...

Re: revweb support? HTML5 instead?

I think the refactoring being done for the open source initiative will make this somewhat easier, so hopefully it will be worth looking at again this fall. I've told the RunRev folks that I'd be happy to run a Kickstarter campaign to fund HTML5 support, and there has been some interest. We'll see wh...

Re: revweb support? HTML5 instead?

The web plugin has been officially discontinued, and the web as an output platform is no longer offered.

At this point, either compiling to HTML5 or getting the LiveCode server to render HTML5 seem like the best options. Does anyone know which would be easier, from a technical perspective?

Re: Web Deployment

There's also the long-term possibility in the future once the engine goes open-source of defining HTML5 as an output platform. Don't count on this as a short-term solution, though. This is precisely my hope, and I've gotten some encouraging replies from the RunRev staff that this is a direction the...

Re: revweb support? HTML5 instead?

You could always write your own Xcode to HTML5 parser.. Or I could just use Construct 2, and promote that to the faculty at my college instead of LiveCode. Not to be snarky, but I've already got a day job as an instructional designer, an evening job teaching stats, and a doctorate in educational re...

Re: revweb support? HTML5 instead?

I got an alert that there was an update to this thread, so I was disappointed to find it was only spam (reported). But in any case, I've asked if one of the stretch goals of the Kickstarter effort to create an open source version of LiveCode could support HTML5 as an output platform, and was told "w...

Re: Facebook Application

Only that Facebook use seems to be growing very quickly, and as an application format it seems to be "where the money is" at the moment.

(Though for what it's worth, I am hardly ever logged into Facebook, and only have an account there because a previous job required it.)

Re: Facebook Application

I would think that supporting the creation of Facebook apps via LC would be a high priority for the development team... no?

Re: Is the Web Deployment Pack Viable?

I'm still hoping for some kind of web deployment option that doesn't involve the end user having to install a plugin or download and install an application. I had been hoping for export to Java applet, or even export to swf (since the Flash plugin is installed in so many browsers already), but at th...

Re: revweb support? HTML5 instead?

We're using Moodle.We probably don't have many Linux users among our students-- I just mentioned that as an example of a deployment option that is better supported than the Web, though I would be willing to bet there are far more web users than linux users. :? I don't think writing our own browser a...

revweb support? HTML5 instead?

The "Web" deployment option seems to have gone from "well-kept secret" to "we disavow any knowledge of such a product." Where did the sample revlets go? Why isn't there an area of the forum dedicated to this deployment method, as there is for all the other platforms (including Linux desktop)? Is the...

Re: How to build Hello World example with Livecode 5.0.2

Thanks. I've never used the Visual series of IDEs before, so I really am just feeling my way around. :?
