LiveCode Forums.

HI All I had the same problem with a POS system I wrote. Worked on windows 7 but 10 and 11 suspended livecode and queued up the characters. I just found the answer get shell("start osk") It starts it in a new process so livecode doesnt wait for it. Launch "osk.exe" should do it as far as I know, but...

And I was so enamoured by your work Roger , I forgot to say thank you for it. I spent a good few hours reliving those “videos” they never cease to amaze me. Some I saw almost 45 years ago some I only saw in the early days of the internet and still some only when YouTube came along. Thanks again Lagi

In Fact this is a computer version of professor Eric laithwaites mechanical explanation of how waves "move" without moving. from his lecture "magnetic river" https://youtu.be/OI_HFnNTfyU?t=609 I have linked to the actaul place in the video - but if you want to see a real man of science explain thing...

Nevertheless, it’s striking how the conversations from 5 years ago so closely mirror the many conversations with the recent changes.

It would seem that none of the concerns raised then (lack of marketing etc) were addressed and you can draw a straight beeline to current developments…

Hey xAction, Thanks - I haven’t been on that site a good few years - I have 2 copies of the dead trees version and that version you sent somewhere on my NAS drive - I still sometimes play with Richard Russell’s bbc basic for windows - to unwind and appreciate the no-bloat days. I try to get all my “...

I for one appreciate your work and did read and execute up to I think post 25 or so but have been very busy lately. So if you want some fun and some great ideas, here is a book I had a lot fun with years ago on my BBC (and Apple ][) - https://archive.org/details/practicalprogram0000john The programs...

2382 bugs if you override the 500 limit. I would be happier if they added nothing to the language for 2 years (they’ll need it) and fixed the outstanding bugs and the IDE. They can also have just 1 developer working on only plugins and widgets suggested by the community for the same amount of time ,...

I am runni9ng windows 10, indy 9.6.4, java 8 Initially I installed arctic fox (the latest) no go. Then I uninstalled arctic fox with loads of problems - the uninstall.exe was corrupted or missing - After removing with revo uninstaller found the archives and installed android studio 4.1 as in the les...

Ok so after a good few  hours  "Fun." I still get the dreaded not a valid SDK folder. I followed this thread https://www.forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=36114&sid=ab1efa3c9924035af8bf51eaf94be7eb&start=45 Which after all the tooing a froing leads to this link   https://quality.livecode.com/...

That was my point which I didn’t finish off - instant gratification is FUN, not printing hello in the console like in Python without using TKINTER or other badly integrated GUI addons. You can do the GUI stuff with livecode as well as scratch and logo and turtle graphics but you can’t write serious ...

HI, Without giving away my life story the way I got into programming was from my interest in electronics (from a ladybird book at junior school - i was 9 or 10 - I still have the book). I then went on to build a computer - a Motorola 1Mhz 6800 with 1k of ram and a 32 by 16 black and white display bo...

Pray tell?

I would say as portmanteau words go, it’s a very nicely expresses the two blended concepts of education and entertainment (fun) in one succinct word. What’s to hate?

Hi Richmond, I saw the image in the forum digest - but I'm sure certain posts were removed so it still didn't make sense to me because the image to my mind was innocuous - but what do I know? - everybody has a different perception of the same information. All I know is that the code Alejandro posted...

Hi Richard, My post wasn't really about getting this tread back. This thread is what reminded me of s thought I had a long time ago. There is so much knowledge in the forums interspersed with so much "noise" that a dump of the "post" tables every so often could give us a database to extract say "eve...
