Re: Looking for some easy codes to start with.
Tommy. Then make a calculator, without cheating too much with what is already out there. It is a project that you can easily grasp. There are two components to any project. First, getting the functionality mainly right. Second, getting the thing itself to look, feel and work right. The second is in...

Re: Looking for some easy codes to start with.
Tommy. Really the best thing is to make something meaningful to you. Then you will stick to it until it is done, and at the same time never finish because you are constantly tweaking and upgrading. I made a scrabble tile tracker after dinner last week. It tool half an hour to build, and another fiv...

Re: Looking for some easy codes to start with.
I've checked the tutorials, but none of them appealed to me. They all seemed very plain on their own or simply not worth my time. Call me picky/elitist/whatever, I just want to find some scripts that are both engaging, and somewhat complicated, so I can build something I can be proud of as well as ...

Re: Looking for some easy codes to start with.
In addition to the many tutorials included in the LiveCode installation (often overlooked but very valuable), the step-by-step lessons here can be very helpful: http://lessons.runrev.com/ PS: Is it just me or has the image in your sig gotten even bigger recently? It's almost overwhelming. (If my si...

Looking for some easy codes to start with.
Hi again, everybody! I finished my previous assignment (and built a tutorial on it for my class, so they can do it too), but now I find myself at an impasse. I can't find any beginner tutorials that would be both simple for a beginner and practical. So, what I want to hear from you guys is what kind...

Re: A second answer window?
Hi. Couple of things. NEVER name a field with a reserved word. Like "1" or "one". Trust me. OR rather, keep doing so, and you will learn a great deal about how LC parses object references. Sorry to be so abrupt. Tough love. You are calling a function, but using that function as a command handler. F...

Re: A second answer window?
Hi. Another "answer" command was written somewhere. Can you find it? Can you step through the handlers until that second one appears? Otherwise, you need to post your scripts. Craig Newman As far as I can tell, there is only one "answer" command, and it's situated on a card script, just like the "S...

A second answer window?
How's it going forum? I'm having a bit of trouble with the 'answer' prompt, and I'd like to know if anybody would be able to help me, regardless of whether or not this is the place to ask. (Personally, I think it is, seeing as I'm completely new to live code) Anyway, for my first assignment in schoo...
