Hi Craig, when setting a stack to FULLSCREEN, you can also set its FULLSCREENMODE. That rules how the stack will be scaled on the monitor. Check the dictionary. When set to LETTERBOX, it will be scaled proportionally to fit to the screen in height or width and the rest of the monitor is left blank,...

I don't know if it's a good idea, but rather than spamming the forum with what I anticipate to be numerous separate threads, I thought I'd keep them all here. Without further ado, first question:

1. Is it possible to set the fullscreenmode letterbox colour?

Hi CFCFCF, I think you need to check "Android", too, in the "Standalone Application settings..." in menu "File". Then you should be able to test your app on your phone/tablet. Best Klaus Thank you for replying! I had indeed checked that in "Standalone Application Settings..." Turns out it was somet...

Hi, I tried setting up Android Studio for LC 9.6.3 (API 29, Build Tools 27.0.3, emulator is running), but nothing happens, the Test button is greyed out.

Personally if the game turned out to be fun that squiggly writing would not fuss me at al...

Ok, I figured it out. Here it is, it's three screens long

p.s. Given your background, if you come across the first edition of the game, it's definitely gonna rub you the wrong way because it uses a faux sanskrit font for Ottoman flavour )

If you could let us know the name of the app and post a few screenshots to illustrate its functionality that would be great fun. Oh, I haven't published it anywhere, I would've done so (as a free app), but the licence prohibited me from doing so, it's just for my own use for now. It's kinda difficu...

Thank you so! That's what I intend to do (I'm trying to recreate a boardgame scoring app which I made with one of those Android code blocks apps), I'll report back.

Thank you both for your replies and thank you to the kind persons who PM'd me, apologies for not answering, I'm technically prohibited from sending or replying to PMs as I'm too new to the forum.

Dead in the water!

Yes, but as a complete beginner it helps a lot. I'm not paying $440 a year just to try to learn something

OK, to answer my own question: LiveCode Community edition

Thank you for the backups!
