Re: Debugger/stepping back thru handler/variable calls/values per run

I assume the SC team considered the variable grid as a table, which was exported to a temporary recallable file each time any value was changed or handler passed. Don't know. In LC as long as you're in active debug mode you can examine the variables at any point in the current context by set the de...

Re: Debugger/stepping back thru handler/variable calls/values per run

Thanks, Dick. I thought I remembered it being in there somewhere. I think I've only seen actual rewinding in one experimental java demonstration. I did build it into PowerDebug some time back, but it's *so* intrusive to real-time code execution that I never released it - you end up with a virtual br...

Re: Debugger/stepping back thru handler/variable calls/values per run

Hmmm... been a while since I've used the built-in debugger, but I think it does. PowerDebug, of course, allows you to step back through the execution contexts and see the variables. I think there's a control in the built-in debugger to do that as well, but someone else will have to chime in with a d...

Cheese!

Yeah, I know.
But this is an interesting idea to save us from the AI debacle.

I missed the influx of spam but I add my ongoing thanks to the mods.

Re: Re-installing LiveCode 10.0.0

On OSX LiveCode is in your applications folder. There are preferences stored elsewhere, but you probably want to keep those anyway.
Drag the existing app into the trash or just rename it - you'll get a new one.
Reinstall.
Done.

Re: Announcing Xavvi, a Great Leap Forward for App Building

I'm spending the day at the Blockly summit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiIEgob ... eTechTalks
and just got turned onto MIT's Aptly (a work in progress).

Interesting video

Re: LC to C# conversion

Paul- Recreating the business logic of an app is certainly doable, but creating the LC engine and the controls etc would be quite a task. I've done Rosetta-Stone-style algorithm converters between e.g. LC and Basic, Java, etc but I wouldn't try anything as major an undertaking as cross-compiling a w...

Re: Announcing Xavvi, a Great Leap Forward for App Building

2. Xavvi does not create an app for you; Well, let's see... what does the PR say? As you describe it, Xavvi writes code for you in English. For a simple app you won’t need to edit any code. you’ll be able to build amazing things with Xavvi. Everything from a simple business application to an entire...

Re: TCP Socket check if the connection is working

But do note that the ping command by default pings four times, so remember to use the -n option (-c for any other OS).

Code: Select all

put shell("ping -n1 www.google.com") into tIsConnectedResult

Re: Livecode calling Javascripts in internet URL sites

Last time I wrote any Javascript was before many of you were born. Hee. I think I have the dubious distinction of creating the first javascript test framework when I was at Netscape, back when it was still LiveScript and LiveObjects. But again, I'm not sure what you have in mind. There's very littl...

Re: "Tracing"

I'm only getting a vague understanding of what you have in mind, but I think maybe you want to have a historical record of the changes to variables as your code progresses. I do have something like that as an option in PowerDebug, but I rarely invoke it because it causes quite a strain on the system...
