Re: Random movement of some little objects?

Thank you all for your help and suggestions. One reason I tried using a list of points instead of letting LC do the work was that it is possible to change the direction of the movement this way. I worked through the list of points in reverse order and flipped the image of the moved objects each tim...

Re: Status of Message Course of Create It with Livecode

There is code for a chat server at https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/livecode/home/servers . Alas, the links to other lessons are no longer valid. But the downloadable code is. There is starter code that you can download at https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/livecode/home/multiple-computer-game...

Re: customizing the answer dialogue box

Have you tried using html in some fashion? I don’t know if this will work with the way you are doing it but it is worth a try.

Re: messageBox font

I have full copies of the site; one with the original links preserved and another with the links modified to make them relative to wherever you put it. If I remember correctly, it was about 6 GB zipped. I also have unlimited space and bandwith donated by another LiveCoder. So we have a home for it. ...

If you want to download the entire site, use sitesucker. http://ricks-apps.com/osx/sitesucker/index.html. It is a great utility.

Re: messageBox font

Hi Bogs, Sorry, I no longer have edit control of that website. I can not make any changes or updates. I do not have a site map, higher view or index of it. I agree, there are many cool samples of code and solutions to problems that my students worked out. I wish I could expound on them and make them...

Re: messageBox font

You might try to use html to change the properties of the text. https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/li ... euser/html

It worked on the answer command in previous versions

Re: Problem: polygon points moving/scaling 2x/4x ?

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 ...

Re: Vocabulary Learning Game

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.

Re: Learn Assembler in Ubuntu

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...

Re: Weather

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...

Re: Weather

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...

Re: Community Showcase

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...
