Hi, I had similar questions so emailed Heather at support: "Hi, In your FAQ section regarding app licensing my understanding is that if I create an application it will only run if I have an active license for LiveCode and that any app I might create would require an internet connection to check lice...

Hi,

I know...I'm cutting this very close!

Hi, I was busy looking to create a quick function to list all of the handlers in an object and stumbled on Richard Gaskin's comment to a LiveCode Lesson in which he mentioned "revAvailableHandlers" (which is not in the LC documentation that I can find). It also shows up a number of times in a search...

Hi, The attached stack is a no-frills demo of a classic Soroban Abacus. I use two hidden behavior buttons for all of the 70 bead buttons [if you rename the stack you will have to relink the behaviors]. The inspiration for this was seeing an old HyperCard stack "Wild Abacus" and thought it might be a...

Hi,

The following two stacks illustrates the use of Bézier curves to create connecting cables between objects. Included is a "Node Blocks" use case I have been working on.

Hope you find this useful.

Hi,

bn: That is an impressive stack! I tried the group scrolling technique a few years ago working on a slot machine simulator but with only partial success. I am looking forward to studying your stack.

Hi,

Thanks for the tips, I'll try both suggestions and do a comparison on speed and file size. I've used both methods in the past but frankly forgot about the backgroundPattern set to an image.

Thanks,

Hi, I wanted to show the extensibility of my approach to spinning slot machine reels by adding an additional two columns but with images the file size is too large to post here. I tweaked to use fields instead of images. The zip'd file is < 4k. This opens up some new possibilities to explore because...

Hi,

I wanted to show this effect can easily be expanded to multiple rows (and probably additional columns).

Hi,

Attached is a small demo of a technique I am using for a LiveCode version of the classic "Super Star Trek" game. It uses the browser widget.

Note: keep the stack in its folder along with the included assets or it won't run properly.

Hi, Klaus: In the LiveCode dictionary the statement "The effectRate property specifies how long a very slow visual effect takes." is a bit misleading since the rest of the entry doesn't limit it to the slow effect...so not knowing any better I just tried it and it seemed to work. Here is a link to a...

Hi,

Here is a simplified slot machine reel effect. Easy to modify (see stack script).

Note: I reduced image sizes from 128x128 to 64 x 64 pixels so the stack size was small enough to post here. Works just as well with the larger image size.

Hi, The copyright notices are in the IDE library script headers. For those that might not know...under the "View" menu in the IDE select "Show IDE stacks in Lists" then open the project browser and you will see all of the open stacks loaded for the IDE. BTW, the language of the copyright notice seem...

Hi, Attached is an A.I. assisted analysis of one of the LiveCode IDE stacks that is noted as public domain, "com.livecode.library.qr". In Claude or ChatGPT I use the following prompt: "I need help analyzing LiveCode IDE stack scripts. My goals are: 1. Primary Goal: Understand what each LiveCode IDE ...

Hi,

The Procedural Graphics System has been updated to v.1.5.2.

bn: Thanks for the Invert Colors button script and gradient updates.
