Re: Why is LiveCode not recognized more as an app developer language?
I think what would really help make LC more well-known and popular with students and teachers would be a model similar to what I experienced with YoYo-GameMaker. I needed a tool some time ago to program some small educational games for my students. In my search for a suitable tool that exports easil...

Re: Announcing Xavvi, a Great Leap Forward for App Building
Of all the different software development systems I've used over the past 30 years, LiveCode is definitely the only one that periodically asks for more money. I mean, if someone had such a great business idea, surely investors should be found to fund it. Even without begging from users on a regular ...

Re: Why is LiveCode not recognized more as an app developer language?
I would love it if there was a completely free version without export options. Many potential users are pupils, students or small individual developers who first need to learn what to do with LiveCode in the first place. I see that tools like "Construct" or "GameMaker" are downloaded and used by ver...

Re: Please explain the logic behind the starter plan price?

It's hard for me to imagine any devs being ok with that option. ... is that really true? Apps created with...

Re: The Script Editor
As I mentioned in a former post the script editor is extremly laggy on my Win10 machine. It's not only slow or something but really really slow. Sometimes when typing a word with 15 characters it needs about 15 to 20 seconds till the last character is displayed in the editor. As I wrote before there...

Re: Script editor is lagging
After spending some weeks with non LC-projects I tried the newest 9.6.3 rc1 version. Unfortunately the script editor lagging was even worse than before. When typing I had to wait several seconds(!) for the characters to appear on the screen. So I started troubleshooting again. What I did find out is...

What can (not) be done when exporting to HTML5?
Today I found this thread https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=35425 in which FourthWorld says that the HTML export is "... best seen as experimental ...".

What is a (better) replacement for CSV-data?
For my first LC-project I need a lot of data in form of vocabulary items etc. I started to collect these data in MS-Excel which is quite convenient for gathering big amounts of data. I then export these data in CSV-format and import it into LiveCode. When learning how to do this I read a lot about t...

button/icon vs. image?
I read some LC tutorials and two LC books in the last weeks. In this tutorial/books the authors often use buttons for showing and controlling images. The image is then a kind of property of the button. Since there is an image control of its own on the tools palette I wonder why they use buttons as a...

Re: Where do I find imported audio files?
Thanks for you help
I found that I had to restart LC to see the audio-folder in the project browser (Win10 LC Build 15530).
This is very helpful because I will use a lot of different audio clips in my project and it's not easy to keep all the different names in mind
