If anyone here can reach him, I'd be happy to provide hosting for his LC collection at livecodejournal.com

His handle on these forums is Newbie4.
Maybe a DM?

Thank you. Done.

Sadly one should never rely on Google for any services; the can and may well be withdrawn with minimal notice, as I believe is the case here.
There are many free alternatives, one can even use GitHub to publish static web sites/pages (likely to last as much as anything else).

So true. i learned the hard way. They removed my website and gave me the illegal traffic reason, however, there was no way of invalid/illegal traffic. All was organic. When i asked for report and where they see invalid traffic, no response. I also filled out their form for a appeal explaining my case. but no response.

Thanks to Professor Cyril Pruszko who re-uploaded his Livecode tutorials.

Not really, as that is on the Wayback machine the images are not available.

The Udemy course is gone.

[faber3d]

I don't know what's going on because I can see the images on the site and the tutorial. What is no longer available are the source files.

Yes, The Udemy course is gone.

On Udemy there are two courses by Fulvio Massini - decent but out of date last time I checked.

One of them (“one code to rule them all” ) build a flappy bird clone I think.

I think these two courses may have been one, but split into two for reasons known only to the author…

Greetings all,

I have finally found a useable copy of my website "LiveCode - Learning to Program by Creating Games, Apps and Programs". It was buried on an old backup from "way back when".

When I first started teaching LiveCode in the classroom, I was learning along with my students. I was also learning how to best teach it. In those early days, we ran into bugs and questions due to lack of adequate documentation. I was very busy on this forum everyday. As we got answers and solved problems, I had to communicate that to all my classes. I ended up creating a website to document and as a reference to use, over and over.

My lessons often morphed into something completely different by the end of the day as I learned better ways to teach the concepts. I also built on the questions and ideas of my students. Their excitement and creativity made my lessons better. At the end of the day, they went up on the website too.

Finally, the students came up with so many good ideas, novel implementations and creative ideas that I had to share their work with the other students. Not only did it make them feel special but it also helped fuel the less creative ones to get more involved.

Because of the volume of information that I had to put up every day, I took the shortcut of using Google websites. As you know, Google mothballed that service and my website slipped into oblivion.

Luckily, I had backed up the site using "SiteSucker" at some point in the past. It not only downloads the website and all supporting software, it also localizes all links so that you can use it offline.

I finally found that backup file and now have it available for anyone to use. (Hooray!) The zip file is roughly 35 MB in size. I can also zip up a portion of it (Flappy Bird) if you wish. If someone wants to host it and make it available to the LiveCode community, please let me know.


Thanks to everyone,
Cyril Pruszko

Cyril, that sounds like an incredible resource…

It’s probably a lot of work, but perhaps move these to GitHub?

You can create a free wiki there (it uses markdown which means if you just copy paste text and add a few markdown tags and it should display well).

I assume you’re happy to share this. If you are, you could upload the source files as a zip to GitHub under say the very permissive MIT licence, and let others help you with converting to markdown (it’s really very easy…)

As an example you can have a look at a regex primer I put up as a wiki using GitHub: https://github.com/stam66/regexPrimerForLivecode/wiki

There probably better ways of doing this on GitHub but that was just me fooling around for a few minutes.

[Newbie4]

Stam,

Thanks,
Those are good ideas. I am not that familiar with GitHub. I logged into it but did not see a path to creating a wiki. I am not sure if uploading it there is the answer. I don't know how many teachers are comfortable with GitHub, especially those who do not have CS degrees of experience.

You brought up a good point about licenses. I had not considered what liability or exposure I would have by uploading that "Google" website.

I wonder if I can upload it here, or if that is even a good idea?

I could make it available on a request basis for anyone that wants it on their own computer or for a class website?

Thank you Professor...!!, I already downloaded the tutorial pages, it is very satisfying to program the game from scratch when you have a good guide in your hand.

Now I'm interested in your A.I. tutorial to make a chatbot-type game of the classic Tamagotchi.

Thank you for all your help.

I doubt Google would (or even could) assert ownership of your HTML, and they certainly can't claim to own your content.

I wonder if I can upload it here, or if that is even a good idea?

A file that large is a lot to insert into a forum DB.

My offer to host it as a subdomain at LiveCodeJournal.com still stands. I'm rebuilding the site now, so this addition to that community compendium would be most welcome there.

[Newbie4]

Glad to contribute.
I sent it to the email address listed on your website.
Let me know if you received it successfully.

Thanks,

Thank you.Yes, I did. I'll review it to see how easily it can be posted, and report back.

[Newbie4]

Thanks.
BTW, I found my most recent version of the website and sent it to you.

I also discovered that the website is complete except for any downloads (PDF's, stacks, student programs, etc) I have all the originals so it is just a matter of finding where to put them in the unzipped website)

I guess SiteSucker saves only webpages and not linked documents. If we want, we could figure it out by trial and error.

Anyway, thanks again,
Cyril
