Thanks Thierry.
I get why the charOffset works, but not quite sure why the paragraph number will only work when it is 1, but the code now works. I have a good list of only one instance. Guess I was getting too fancy!

Thanks Stam. There is a purpose behind not counting the punctuation marks. It's for a certain type of cipher that uses only the letters. I guess I could exclude them in the offset function (I did consider that). As for searching by split paragraphs, I don't want to search the paragraphs per se. I wa...

Hi all, I am writing some script to search through a set of text divided into paragraphs. It searches for each character of the alphabet and returns a value that states the character, the paragraph number and the character number (i.e. a=1,2 is stating that a is the second character of the first par...

Thanks Richard and Stam. A web-based version would be worthwhile! DLing the big file was also a concern for me. My other option would be to simply recreate the code in C# or the like that is a more easily available language and let people work in an IDE of their own choosing. That, sadly may be the ...

Hi all! I have been developing up my ideas, have written some stuff that I think is pretty fun, and am almost ready to test some of the functionality of an IRL game app. I have developed some AR with Unity and that has come along well. What I am thinking now, and wouldn't mind some input from the co...

What Stam said. I use Livecode for "simple" computing-type programs, all in 2D. When I say simple, I mean everything from manipulating the individual pixel data of images through to displaying he motion of the human spine on a vertebra-by-vertebra level. Simple enough to program in Livecode because ...

I just wrote a keyboard that inputs plaintext into one field and equivalent morse code in another. It wasn't hard, just laborious to put "put {char} into field [Fieldname]" for each character. I actually did it all in a stack script so it was all in one place. Included a backspace button that "delet...

Are you still looking for the maths behind this? I would suggest that you look at locating the start point and target point then working off the vector between the two that you can use to move along. put field "Speed" into tSpeed --where speed is in pixels per second-- repeat until tStartPoint = tEn...

If the Unity part of this is server-side rendered in a browser, couldn't you just display that within your LiveCode app in a Browser widget? That's what I am considering. It has a WebGL component that may be able to be be displayed in a browser element. Apparently that's how you do it with a webpag...

Thanks guys. I will look them up

So... I have seen this question asked a little while ago, but not in this context. If I made an app with something else (Unity, etc.) and made a separate "app" for want of a better term, can I access it from within an app I have made with Livecode. If I were doing it within Livecode, I would just ma...

AND, just supposing you were able to raise the money from somewhere how do you know that your idea would 'bite' and bring you a good return? Don't worry about that, I have a fortune telling chicken that will steer me in the right direction! :lol: Yes, you never know, do you? That's why I would pref...

Fourthworld, I have launched 22 individual hunts online, and a macro hunt that is currently going. Scavenger Hunt side of things, all good. No-one is really combining that with technology, and I have brainstormed the idea with a couple of smart cookies and we have built a pretty awesome concept to a...

Thanks Jacque. I like to aim high! Can always be scaled down. There are free AR apps out there like Vuforia, but their "freeness" is limited. They do a good job of checking images, so may be annexed. I just didn't want to launch into it only to find the number was too high, and I would hate to lowba...

I know this is a little bit like asking, "how long is a piece of string", but... I have an idea for an app that would encompass a few things, but I would not be able to do it all and launch it for public use. I could do the bulk of the work in LC, but would at some stage need to hand it over to some...
