LiveCode Forums.

I wasn’t saying I built the concept apps from scratch, but if you have a full-ish picture us the app to build, Claude code just build it for you with just a few interactions.

I have now built a version of the same app as a native macOS desktop, which again took a (full) day…



While I have ...

#Stam
I read this thread and then your post on another thread In less than a working day, I got Claude Code to help me build an iOS app in SwiftUI and the same app for Android in Kotlin/Compose. End result: good looking, extremely functional, completely native apps, no half-way Motif houses.

Yes ...

Is it better now? Can I produce Android apps with it? I have some personal apps I'd like to update.

I guess the deafening silence speaks volumes !

I enjoyed the detour into Ai and hovering seagulls - stupid Ai!

I appreciate this licensing model may not suit every use case. It is clear however ...

# richmond, so I saw that this thread had been updated and read through it from the start only to discover your post

Spam-a-lam-a-ding-dong.

Some how I feel short changed!

Bump:

Obviously the answer to my question is modify the code listed above and give it a try but here is the question anyway.

The code above shows the speed increase through the use of the "@" prefix to a passed parameter which I believe causes the original parameter to be referenced rather than a ...

Thanks for all your posts.

#Stam, I will restructure my array in the manor you suggest.

Thanks

Simon

Bump!

I have an array with text keys and more text as the values. How do I filter for two text values in an element?
I'm seeking an AND statement but can't find one at the moment.

For example lets say that MyArray contains the following:


MyArray["First Key is text"]["Now is the time for all ...

With ref to the original article, ha! Back in circa 1999 the US DOD mandated that all defence software from that point on was to be written in Ada because C and C++ were identified as causing significant delays to almost all the projects that they were used in and Ada was a robust language that ...

Stam et al,

As such choices are really
a) stick with 9.6.3 as long as that works for
b) Use student/learner edition for LC10, up to its sunset
c) Go LCC and use LC “Classic” aka LC10 up to its sunset and the switch to LCC hoping that will fill the gap
d) hedge your bets and dip your toes in other ...

Makes sense if they are to survive but I don't think its very good for us small developers.

I still fee it would have been more profitable to offer LC at a lower price point and with micropayments (an example I often offer is the pricing structure for the Panorama X database https://www.provue.com/#pricing).

I agree but then I am biased as I only program these days when the weather is ...

then produce free software that I license to my students, no charge.

Is that possible? Or do I still have to give them a fee per license I sell?

I believe your case is one that you need to speak with Livecode Ltd directly. The answer may come down to when you do the rebuilds i.e. in your own ...

So now we have a closed source, paid-for product in a world of free professional tools that have proven value. LC has not managed to successfully define a good target demographic for either free or paid-for products and as such will struggle to profit.

I don't think Livecode Ltd has ever made a ...

But is the future for LC/LC Script bright enough to invest time, money, enthusiasm, hopes...?


Unfortunately its rather more a candle in the wind when the rest of the world has arc lamps. How can Livecode compete when the likes of Kotlin, Flutter and others are pretty much in the same space ...

Hopefully I haven’t been misunderstood…

Hi Stam et al,

No, I think I understand. Livecode Create is still in what is described as Early Access which is to say unfinished. Its the only option on the web site to those who are new to the platform. However, a new license includes access to a ...
