LiveCode Forums

I would like to create an app. Could you recommend an app developer or worker and is there any profit in outsourcing with a company from Ukraine or India? And could you list the parameters to be guided
I have found several companies but still doubt.

Regards,
Klaus

What are you looking to build?

Hi, thanks for reply. I would like to build a vr game, donno about niche yet

2 points:

1. Why are you looking for a developer to do your work in LiveCode?

2. I can't say anything about India, but as Ukrainians inwith Ukraine are preoccupied by more pressing matters.

2.1. I teach the children of 3 high-level programmers currently in self-imposed exile in Bulgaria who have all categorically stated that the have never heard of LiveCode.

What drew you to LiveCode for VR specifically?

It's a great tool for a great many things, but 3D is not among its core strengths.

Hi there,
Thanks for your answers.
I just try to find reply on different sources including Livecode.
yes, I am keen on 3d, vr, ar techs and planning to develop in this directions. I think, that many people consider these techs promising

I think, that many people consider these techs promising

Really?

As far as I understand those areas have been in use for at least 25 years.

The internet itself is just getting started, the computing revolution barely begun.

I don't know if you read much tech news, but nothing is slowing down in AR and VR. Just ramping up.

LiveCode is not the right answer for this, at least not yet - while you can sort of fake it or get some 'proper' 3D scenes set up via webGL it's really not a 3D platform.

You may want to look into Unreal Engine or Unity - both are very capable have free tiers and certainly reasonable price points for paid services like support/training. The complexity however is orders of magnitude greater than LiveCode - but that is what is required for this.

Always use the right tool for the job

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 it's really powerful and easy to access.
I am also doing VR/AR stuff, but all with Unity and Vuforia (for AR). The inbuilt engines for AR and VR are not great in Unity- admittedly full of bugs. However, with Unity, Vuforia and an hour on Youtube, you can create a workable VR section of an app without any knowledge of C#.
The biggest thing to bear in mind with AR/VR that I have found is a lot has already been done, and if you're going to do something remarkable with it... you need a great idea that pivots on the technology, taking it somewhere it hasn't gone before. Otherwise, you're just being a little fish in a big pond.
