Re: Nested Repeat Loop Problem

For what its worth: - Screenshot 2025-03-29 at 10.09.13.png - The green button runs your script, the blue button runs mine. 8) Sorry for keeping you up at night Richmond! I can see what you did there in terms of resetting the wordlist 2 and 3 inside the first loop. It was something that came to me ...

Re: Nested Repeat Loop Problem

I think I have managed to solve it. It's just chugging out a lot of stuff right now and is not responding. When it finishes, I will have a better idea. I have just tracked the changing word lists at each level, and reinstated them as I loop back up the repeats. Basically, it will chug out a list of ...

Personally (and I know it would annoy a lot of people) I'd use 3 list fields . .
Not sure how that will help the problem at hand... Happy to take advice about how that might help though!

SOLVED: Nested Repeat Loop Problem

Hi Brainstrust, Long time no hear. I have a seemingly simple problem that I just can't get my head around how to script it. I have a series of letters that I need to cycle through and get all of the permutations of it, and I just can't seem to get the right output. I have shortened the lists for eas...

Re: Dialog box opens up behind systemWindow stack

I know this is a thread from ages ago, but my Livecode community has just started doing this too. I haven't changed anything anywhere (that I am aware of) and whenever I close the stack in the IDE, the "do you want to save" dialogue appears behind the stack, and I can't see it (and consequently clic...

Re: Where are the newbies?

This has probably been said before, but I will add to the numbers. I am an unprofessional developer. I created some in-house business management software that I use to keep track of simple things in my business. They all look like they've been shipped with Windows 98, to hack a previously used phras...

Re: LC to C# conversion

Having looked into what I want to do, there is definitely a schism between the two types of code that I am sure wouldn't be easily translated, unless you knew both languages. It might be easier with some operations, like filtering arrays, but dealing with pixel data seems to be vastly different. In ...

Re: Hand-made furniture

Ha, yeah. In the 80's, electronic music was going to be the downfall of traditional bands. Why do you need a drummer when you have a drum machine? And yet, we still have thriving musicians, churning out great stuff. Along with the mass-produced, hollow stuff as well of course. But will we see today'...

Re: A.I. Rant

@jacque, we're also seeing that with social media. People are generating information on socials and spreading it, and people are believing it. We only need to look at the piles of misinformation in just about every field being shunted around the internet to see that datasets are easily made. And if ...

Re: A.I. Rant

I didn't get through all of the posts here... I am a child of the late 70's, early 80's. No attention spa But anyway... The current AI bots are pretty crude in all forms. As an artist, I have been keeping an eye on Midjourney and the other art-generators. Much the same goes for ChatGPT as does with ...

Re: LC to C# conversion

So, I take it you haven't tried the ChatGPT thing? No... from what I have seen of Chat GPT it's good for telling you how to make a fruit salad out of fruit, but much more complex than that and it will struggle. :D This is one of those breaking ground things that it can't just trawl the internet for...

Re: LC to C# conversion

Thanks Bernd, but the OP was in relation to a set of code that I want to give people as part of a game, so would need to be run easily, and downloading LC and running it etc. didn't fit the bill, so I have chosen a more widely used language that can be executed online with an emulator. The apps that...

Re: LC to C# conversion

The project this question was in regards to has to do with image manipulation, particularly the aRGB channels of a bitmap image. Looking in to it so far, the methods are completely different for LC and C#. For example, in LC, you load the data of the bitmap into a variable and pick through it, each ...

Re: LC to C# conversion

Thanks Stam, I think you poignantly summed up all of my troubles in trying to code C# straight off my LC file. LC is so simple, it's like telling my 5 year old nephew what to do. C# has a completely different starting point and path. The logic doesn't translate well. I have looked through Rosettacod...

Re: LC to C# conversion

Thanks Craig...
I guessed as such. The only problem being that I don't have access to the same community as I do here. Ask a question here, get a good answer, answer a question out there, get a blank stare...
So learn on I will I guess!
