Re: Livecode Create - thoughts?
Personally as a hobbyist I have to decide the upgrade is worth the additional cost. The licensing options are interesting and look good on paper but I do wonder how they will work in the real world. Sadly, I can no longer afford my LiveCode license. I've been unemployed for 16 months straight, and ...

Re: Sharing a few dead projects from my archive
You're welcome :) Yes, Watson was a "search interface" for Hotline servers. The original read me probably says it's a search "engine", but that would only be true if it did anything more than scrape results from a competing web site. Believe it or not, people actually paid the $5 shareware fee I was...

Sharing a few dead projects from my archive
Howdy folks, I'm not going anywhere with these projects, so I decided to upload them to my public repository. Maybe someone will find a good snippet of value buried in there, but here are the standouts: Thunderlist (Android) https://speedbump.io/repository/source_code/Thunderlist.zip Basically a Wun...

Re: Couch Commander - a custom HTPC set-top box using LiveCode
I wish I could be of more help when it comes to Android, but I'm totally unfamiliar with that platform. However, I'll keep my eyes peeled if I happen upon something that'll help you out. Good luck

Re: Couch Commander - a custom HTPC set-top box using LiveCode
Nice job. If I understand, you were able to catch, in Livecode, the infrared signal from your remote, in order to navigate the UI. If this the case, can you explain how you did it? Trevix Thank you! That's a good guess, but I'm actually using a slightly different approach. I'm relying on Linux Mint...

Re: Couch Commander - a custom HTPC set-top box using LiveCode
Thanks for the positive feedback and kind words, folks. I especially liked the "Devo" part. I saw them once live in Berlin 1978. I still like them. Felt like an apt choice, due to my dis-satisfaction with Roku. Caught 'em live in California in 2018 after discovering many of my favourite artists were...

Couch Commander - a custom HTPC set-top box using LiveCode
I just wanted to share a video overview of a side project I started in June of 2023: Couch Commander https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV-qYv6UW4A Here are some of the fine points: UI navigation is done with a common Universal TV Remote, but you can use other input devices too. PolyList and PolyGrid w...

Re: Mapping handler dependencies
This is from the Mailing List: 3. Hmm, I don’t usually use any gray texts. All texts are black, except for a few big buttons that have ”midnight blue” text, which is also the colour of most of the icons. Is something happening to the UI on Linux? It would be interesting to see a screenshot of how it...

Re: “Coding Nine LiveCode Games” by Scott McDonald?
I wonder if there is a way to code these without a 'gameloop'... recursively calling gameloop probably eats a lot of processing time/resources and that's not playing to LC's strengths judging by frame rates... Even on 'simple' pong, frame rate (visual updates rather than procedural updates) is slow...

[Solved] Re: Processes opened for update won't respond to data written to them
It looks like I was missing a Control Operator, in this case a linefeed at the end of the written command. So my write command now looks like this: write _Terminal["send_line_data"] & linefeed to process _Terminal["command"] I went ahead and uploaded my example, Terminal-ish, to the Sample Stacks ar...

[Solved] Processes opened for update won't respond to data written to them
I've been working on a field that behaves like a terminal emulator, but it's only half-working. When you press the Return key, whatever command you've typed is supposed to be written to the user's shell. So far my implementation sort-of works, but any commands I send just seem to disappear into a vo...

[SOLVED] Re: Advice/Tutorials/Guides for Asynchronous Process Polling
I was able to come up with a solution after hammering my way through the LC documentation. I setup a library stack called Process Monitor with a console log and a mechanism for displaying open process IDs. I plan to develop it out into a more versatile process monitor but it runs primarily like this...

[SOLVED] Advice/Tutorials/Guides for Asynchronous Process Polling
I'm looking for Advice/Guides/Tutorials on how to implement an asynchronous process polling mechanism so I can monitor and react to the output of multiple python processes.
