Re: Side Scrolling Sprite Kit

Interesting! Scrolling/moving seems to be quite smooth. I'm curious which components are LCB and which are LCS, if you don't mind expanding a bit?

Re: Run LC standalone on Linux ubuntu 24.04.4


Or you think that the virtualization could add problems?


If you can get close to matching your client's hardware requirements (OS version, CPU, RAM, etc.) in a Virtual Machine then I'd argue it's worth a shot. You might get lucky and be able to meet their needs without having to take on ...

Re: LC 10/Create and Linux?


the only real workaround is running it through Wine or a VM.


I can confirm that Create Classic for Windows works wonderfully in Bottles (WINE) on Mint 22.2. I did have to add the "All Fonts" dependency, but otherwise it was smooth sailing. I'm able to develop on Linux with a "somewhat native ...

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 ...

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 ...

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:

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?

Thank you! That's a good guess, but I'm actually using a slightly different approach. I'm relying on Linux ...

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 ...

I just wanted to share a video overview of a side project I started in June of 2023:

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.

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 ...
