I'm pretty sure the rawKeyCodes enums list was set up way back when in the 1990s and, since MetaCard was a HyperCard clone, I'm guessing they were probably set to match HyperCard/classic macOS Roman character set, which BTW included some non-standard char that were actually used as tokens in HyperTa...

As ALL LC standalones come as a single file, there is no need for an installer. This is only true for Mac applications! On Windows you will end with a separate EXE plus one or more folders and maybe an external! That's not even technically true for macOS because your .app is actually a bundle, whic...

I know this thread is 5 years old, but I just found it and would interject. ShowAllCards, originating from HyperCard which ran on Moto 68K CPUs at less then 1MHz clock speed, IIRC the command simply visits every card (or range or marked cards only) as if the stack user had navigated to them, which m...

There was an effort on GitHub to build a 'LiveCode Builder - The Missing Manual as a Wiki (but it looks like that work stalled).

While the language previously known as Transcript is fairly well documented, is there a 'go to' place for LCB? Is LCB a 'full' computer language (as in a full suit of clothes), just a set of hooks and buttons to connect LC with other things, or something midway between the two? Extension Builder, I...

Hi, One of my hi fi speakers is distorting at certain frequencies and looking at the web it is suggested that a tone generator may be useful in identifying where the distortion is originating. My first thought was to write a tone generator using Livecode but having searched the dictionary I can not...

What I really want to do is be able to play a simulation of whatever chord is being picked out, and I presume midi would be the best way to do that. I've looked at PaulDaMacMan's rather excellent LCB midi tools and got the sample .mid files to play in the demo stack. But what I'd really like to do ...

If there are no takers here I'll see if someone outside the LC community wants it. "Live coding" and "#livecode" are popular terms for the practice of coding live for a streaming audience. The term live-coding was (still is?) also used by live algorithmic composers, like multimedia performances (Ma...

Paul. Are you saying that changes made in Github in the manner you describe will appear in everyone's dictionary? Craig No I was not saying that, although I think that could be made to happen via a bit of editing the IDE scripts so that it pulls updates from files on GitHub. What I was describing i...

So I just started building a widget that is an On-Screen PC/Mac Extended Keyboard, the idea being to use this for visually/point-click setting of command keys, accelerator keys, or any other key associations... It seems to me, and this thread seems to confirm this, that OnKeyPress never actually wor...

So just to clarify, the .lcdoc files that they were talking community members editing live(d) in the Engine repo viewable/downloadable from GitHub. To rebuild a modified dictionary you edit those files and then use the 'Builder' stack that's in the 'Builder' folder from that same GitHub repo. It loo...

I just read that Xavvi will be called LiveCode Create. I'm glad! The days of low-hanging fruit of HC refugees are long gone. Few companies can enjoy the bump MC/LC got from HC's demise. But that was a long time ago. These days they're on the same footing as every other company. Time to market like ...

It might be worth a modest investment: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=Mac+Mini+A1103&_sacat=0 - Screen Shot 2023-08-28 at 19.49.33.png - Screen Shot 2023-08-28 at 19.49.54.png - These will run MacOS 10.4 + MacOS 9.2.2 Wow, those G4 macMINIs sure have gott...

It seems that RR 2.6.1 that's on that well known Macintosh abandon-ware site, will not run on SheepShaver (which only runs up to macOS 9.0.4), It looks for several things ColorPickerLib (which is an system extension you can copy over from a macOS 9.2.x install), and something about Alias resolving t...

Kudos to the LC Ltd. people for mentioning that OpenXTalk exists in their latest funding drive for this latest endeavor. I would however point out that, while the focus has been on continuing on from the LC Community Edition, that is NOT the purpose of OpenXTalk.org (more of a spark). The mission IS...
