Hi livecoders, long time no see! A few days ago I came up this recent blog article about the visitor design pattern ( https://livecode.com/visitors-in-livecode/ ) I think there are a couple of mistakes. Luckily, both are very easy to fix. So I launched Livecode for the first time in six month and go...

No luck here either. The installer actually starts but cant display anything but the background.

Richard, it's LC8 dp 16. I didn't install LC7 yet.
and why lubuntu? I don't know... I'm a little more familiar with lxde and they say it's superlight.
I must say I quite like it so far. Even have windows on a virtual machine now!

It's never too late to try Ubuntu. :)

Funny! As a matter of fact I'm trying lubuntu since yesterday, and the backdrop appears in front of everything. If I didn't have a second screen I would've had to kill lc in the console...

Fun! Two handlers and a local (or whatever) Try this with the backdrop off. local sLoc on mouseUp lock screen put the loc of this stack into sLoc set the loc of this stack to 380,380 send "ResetLoc" to me in .1 tick answer "Is this the correct place?" with "yes" or "no" end mouseUp command ResetLoc ...

Oh the answer is so much simpler
Look up for revChangeWindowSize in the dictionary!
Cheers,
Fred

Small modifications after testing, mainly typos, and the exit parts. After a while you'll see livecode as plain english :D local sNumberToGuess, sMaxNumberOfTries, sTryCounter -- changed sTryCounter (prev. sCuuentTryNumber, too long and with a typo) on mouseUp startGame end mouseUp command startGame...

Hi, welcome to the forum! You syntax is horrible! I suggest you make use of the user guide and the dictionary... Also I think there is a hangman example in the sample stacks... A few points 1) How would you do it in your favourite language? Here you're generating three different random numbers, the ...

Time and operators is a tricky thing.

Hi!
In case anyone is interested, here's a link to a github repo that could be useful :)

Native encodings are only available on the respective platforms, as written in the release notes here (page 15)

Its true that the dictionary is slightly incomplete here...
Fred.

Better syntax I think : F.

Simon, I don't think your code is hacky at all, the more I think about it. The quotes positions are really awkward : get "myFunction(Hello)" normally puts "myFunction(Hello)" into the variable it I would expect get myFunction("Hello") to be the thing to send... ps, I just checked, It works in Variab...

Does it make sense to even do that, since you can pass parameters to a handler? I mean, a function usually takes a parameter in and spits a result out, and a handler is usually for doing stuff involving other objects (such as the answer dialog window). Plus the fact that sending a function needs so ...

This works here on mouseUp put "get " & quote & "myFunction(" & "Hello" &")" & quote into tFunc send tFunc to me in 2 seconds end mouseUp function myFunction theText answer theText end myFunction on mouseUp put "myHandler" && quote & "Hello" & quote into tCom send tCom to me in 2 seconds end mouseUp...
