LiveCode Forums.

I have, and I suspect there is now code blocking Community versions from accessing LiveNet. None in LiveNet itself. It makes no distinctions about which edition it's running in. Back when I was community manager for the LiveCode Community Edition I tested it there at least as often as in the propri...

Curious. I tested here before posting

Have you tried it from within LC?

The MetaCard installer was a collaboration between Jacque and myself, AFAIK untouched for nearly a decade. Just the same, I've dropped the most recent copy I have into LiveNet. In the IDE see Development -> Plugins -> GoLiveNet To be clear, the only engine change it makes is to the executable name w...

The general guidance that a system configured to run a browser can usually run LC is often sufficient, but if you're running into specific errors on a system that has a working browser installed we'll need to see details to help with those.

How do you determine WHICH stack scripts are copyrighted, and which are not? In all nations which are signatories to the Berne Convention (about 90% of UN-recognized nations, which includes the US and UK), all original creative works are granted the copyright protections of the local jurisdiction a...

Hello everyone, I'm new to LiveCode and want to save data from a field to a text file. I'm not sure which command to use and how to reopen saved data. Can someone share a basic example for me to refer to?

Hi Katy Perry. I enjoy your music.

What are you building with LiveCode?

Hello everyone, I am making an app using LiveCode with quite a lot of controls (buttons, fields…). When the number of controls increases, the app shows signs of slowing down, especially when resizing the window. Does anyone have experience optimizing performance or best practices in this case that ...

This is discouraging. What happened to "Programming for the rest of us?" Decades of software. When HC was born in 1987, there were few apps, no browser, no Internet. Computing was a hobby for enthusiasts. Software was something you wrote. Faced with Pascal, C, or BASI5, HC was a godsend. Today, the...

Hi Amay. What are you building with LiveCode? Richard, I don't think you are going to get a reply. I suspect you're right, but before I ban a user and delete their content I usually offer the benefit of doubt. Once in a great while it's an actual earnest person who merely writes clumsily. o whats h...

It makes sense that Livecode Ltd. would focus on revenue—it’s similar to platforms like **MwinGame**, where long-term user engagement and trust are key to sustainability. Just like you're hoping for continued access beyond 2027, MwinGame users also rely on consistent support and fair access to the ...

I remember his presence on the mailing list, not sure if he also posted here.

Some of you may recall Ray Harder, who used to be quite active in our community. He used LiveCode to further his research in Sumerian and other ancient languages. I had the pleasure of meeting him at one of the LC conferences in Monterrey, and have been in touch off and on since. He hasn't been well...

Thanks, Bob. Same here.

And that's why I use regenerative software for personal entertainment only.

It's a fun thread tho, about as reliably useful as GPTs get. Do we delete, or enjoy it as a writing prompt?

Also, it's probably nitpicking to say that LC does not compile apps ;) In a world where "literally" literally means figuratively, the definition of "compile" has so expanded in our 21st century scripting-dominated world as to have nearly no discernible meaning. Just yesterday I was reading up on a ...
