KeyDown only firing once
What code can I use to stop multiple firing of a key when my finger gets stuck on it?

So in my favourite "ideal world" [don't worry, I've already got a therapist . . . admittedly she is out in the garden at the moment teasing lizards and grasshoppers . . . she's extremely level headed: whatever crap I throw at her she just says 'miaow' or yawns]...

Re: What algorithm for random() function?
Because I rarely find what I'm looking for in the docs. Ludwig Wittgenstein stated that the reason many people never found answers was because they asked the wrong questions. What MichaelBlueJay has not explained is WHY he needs to know the way LiveCode generates its pseudorandoms, NOR why that mat...

Re: Monterey Jack
Nothing quite like the quiet orgasmitude of answering one's own posts.
As far as I can tell, after a week of running LC 9.6.2 and LC 9.6.3 rc1 on MacOS 12 beta 2,
all the obvious problems (such as random crashings) that were happening on MacOS 11 beta 5
have vanished.

Re: What algorithm for random() function?
rejected by peer review I wonder how you discovered that when the web-page (unsurprisingly) does not mention that as far as I can see. I spend quite a lot of my time polishing translations of what passes for academic stuff round these parts and am mind-blowingly surprised at the utter nonsense that...

Re: What algorithm for random() function?
I was right for a reason. And what was that reason? As most of us are aware that computers are just clunky machines that are (and should stay) the slaves of humankind we are also aware that computers don't have hands and oposble thumbs so they cannot chuck dice around and any 'random' number they c...

Re: detecting capslock key down
Not if, for some odd reason you have got it into your head that you want to use the capsLock key
for something other thandoing what a capsLock key usually does.

And makes it less hackable by those who want to do other things.So, as usual, Macintosh reduces clutter.

Re: detecting capslock key down
The problem is that in the Macintosh world pressing the capslock key either does NOT send a rawKey signal (which seems odd as the processor has to register that the capslock key is being depressed) to the CPU, or LiveCode doesn't/can't pick a rawKey signal up, this smells odd as LiveCode can detect ...

Why weren't you surprised?I was not at all surprised that the Dictionary is completely silent about what algorithm the random() function uses.

Re: detecting capslock key down
You could code for this sort of thing: if item 2 of the keysDown is 65509 then --Jump and shout end if But it presupposes another key is also being pressed, or another key is being pressed after the capslock key has been depressed (and is locked down). IFF the capslock is DOWN (i.e. has already been...

Re: possible livecode can make it
The question should not be, "can LiveCode make it?'
The question should be, "Can I make it with LiveCode?"
LiveCode does not make things by itself, but with a bit of effort and thinking it is possible
to make a tremendous range of software with LiveCode.

Re: detecting capslock key down
On a Linux box pressing the capslock key LiveCode picks up a rawKeyCode.
So much for Macintosh.
