Re: How to put LiveCode in the hands of more teachers/studen

Just to add a thought to this very interesting thread. I am thinking of non english speaking students, in other countries (especially developing countries). LiveCode is great but assumes implicitly that you have a fair level of english (because of all those little words, for exemple). A better level...

Re: LC 7.0.4 and Xcode 6.3 - once again broken?

Can I make a silly suggestion for this type of recurring situation ? Maybe it is not possible for RR to implement it, but it would be simpler IMHO RR wold design a simple text file which could be downloaded from their site and used by the local engine on your machine to change the settings of import...

Re: Game loop randomly slowing down for one iteration ?

Thanks, I will post some code, but yes, globally a sprite simply moves at each iteration and calculations are the same. I measured the random delays but could not find any internal reason. It really seems that the delays come because iOS or the engine is doing something else in the background someti...

Game loop randomly slowing down for one iteration ?

Hello I am using the game loop from game academy for "yet an other game" on iOS http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=14037#p79876 Works well except for random performance issue. While my game runs I have usually a 60 milliseconds duration for one loop (not a fast action game, but still, and...

Re: Checking for wi-fi, cell in Android

It depends why you need Internet access.
For example, I just add statements like that before needing a real access
- put URL "http://a.page.you.know.exists" into temp1
- put the result into temp2
and then you analyze temp2 to detect errors...
But it may not work for you.

Re: itemDelimeter

Hello, lost in space ? I assume you refer to these lines set the itemDelimiter to space if item 1 of the name of target is "button" then... In Livecode you manipulate strings of characters all the time, even if the result on the screen does not show any text. So when you have a string of text there ...

Game controller API

Any ideas on how to use in LC the new API from Apple for game controllers on iOS 7 ?
My game would surely benefit from it but I don't know how to write external glue for it ;)
Is it a feature to be included in LC, preferably in the community edition ? Has someone already done it ?
Thanks

Re: Help Us Take LiveCode Open Source

Here is an answer @vox212, from RunRev on the "list" to a thread I created "We are looking at providing a very simple OSS license specifically for free, non-profit, not ad supported, non-promotional open source apps in the Mac/iOS app store. We'll probably go down the route of charging a $25 adminis...

Re: Help Us Take LiveCode Open Source

Yes, and my comment is also not aimed at you.
It is true that with more and more people coming to LC, it will change these forums or others created specially for the open source version.
Maybe a little thinking about how to make them lively AND useful could be done ?

I believe also, and there is proof.

Thanks for the alert. My apps rely strongly on this feature. Now I am afraid of using 5.5.4 until you reassure us !

Re: livecode 5.5.4 ... Download?

@Mark Everybody has a different experience, psychology and business model. You can't push your model on others. I think that the open source move is a very bold one for RR and if it succeeds it will impact a lot of people. Of course, professional developers earning money from their coding will also ...
