Re: Why is LiveCode not recognized more as an app developer language?

... (albeit with a royalty fee) ... .. when I read that (in the product information for LC) I was actually a bit shocked. I think royalty fees are a relic from the 80s or 90s of the last century. It's bad enough that Apple or other distributors are getting paid well for their stores. Now royalty fe...

Re: Because it is not FREE to use for commerical applications.

It doesn't really have to be free. It would be quite sufficient if it were possible to use the program free of charge until you actually want to create a commercial application with it. I believe this may have been tried before although predates my involvement with LiveCode. I believe the issue is ...

Re: Why is LiveCode not recognized more as an app developer language?

I think what would really help make LC more well-known and popular with students and teachers would be a model similar to what I experienced with YoYo-GameMaker. I needed a tool some time ago to program some small educational games for my students. In my search for a suitable tool that exports easil...

Re: Announcing Xavvi, a Great Leap Forward for App Building

Of all the different software development systems I've used over the past 30 years, LiveCode is definitely the only one that periodically asks for more money. I mean, if someone had such a great business idea, surely investors should be found to fund it. Even without begging from users on a regular ...

Re: Why is LiveCode not recognized more as an app developer language?

I would love it if there was a completely free version without export options. Many potential users are pupils, students or small individual developers who first need to learn what to do with LiveCode in the first place. I see that tools like "Construct" or "GameMaker" are downloaded and used by ver...

Re: Please explain the logic behind the starter plan price?

Re: Please explain the logic behind the starter plan price?

It's hard for me to imagine any devs being ok with that option. ... is that really true? Apps created with...

Re: The Script Editor

As I mentioned in a former post the script editor is extremly laggy on my Win10 machine. It's not only slow or something but really really slow. Sometimes when typing a word with 15 characters it needs about 15 to 20 seconds till the last character is displayed in the editor. As I wrote before there...

Re: Script editor is lagging

After spending some weeks with non LC-projects I tried the newest 9.6.3 rc1 version. Unfortunately the script editor lagging was even worse than before. When typing I had to wait several seconds(!) for the characters to appear on the screen. So I started troubleshooting again. What I did find out is...

Re: A stack "revCursors" is already in memory

I get this "revCursors is already in memory" message since my first try to build a windows standalone version with the current Indy 9.6.2. rc3 build. And really there is such a substack that I can see in the project browser. Unfortunately it is not possible to remove or delete this substack. I then ...

What is a (better) replacement for CSV-data?

For my first LC-project I need a lot of data in form of vocabulary items etc. I started to collect these data in MS-Excel which is quite convenient for gathering big amounts of data. I then export these data in CSV-format and import it into LiveCode. When learning how to do this I read a lot about t...
