LiveCode Forums.

I believe their main focus now is custom application programming for larger corporations and businesses. LC still welcomes small developers like us but we aren't the primary target group now. No i get that and that is my point: is this really the best choice? I obviously can’t know, but my impressi...

I almost have the impression that Livecode Ltd does not want hobbyists and small app developers to buy because they are to much trouble. Yes. And of course the devs they appear to want to target will already be engaged with mainstream free tools instead, so from my uninformed point of view it seems...

The average wage for a software engineer in Edinburgh is £61,000 per year. If all 113 members buy a licence for LCC then the license fees are not enough to pay for a single software engineer for a year. I can't help wondering where all the users are and when the release of version one will occur. M...

Some random thoughts: There was a time when LC *could* have become a Python killer, but that ship has long since sailed sadly. You have to hand it to the PSF for setting up Python as a charitable project and networking with all the universities, which has been the main driver for its success in gett...

Stam has recently written elsewhere on this forum that LCC is still very much in development and is not a finished product which is of concern. Hopefully I haven’t been misunderstood… LCC allows you to launch the IDE in “classic” mode which is basically LC10 but with the new widgets as well. So wil...

No it’s not a virus, it’s needed to build for iOS/MacOS. The dev tools are part of Apples tooling, much like you’d need to install Android Studio/Java if building for Android. I personally always install the latest version even if I only rarely produce such apps (most of my apps are built for Window...

It's a bit difficult to follow your description of your 'bug' - why aren't you downloading the new version of the command line dev tools? Or is it that you have downloaded the latest versions and it keeps asking you to do this? The fact that it doesn't happen on LC10.0 but does on later versions sim...

Hi all, I'm confused about how I'm supposed to run LC on Linux at present. I have a LC Create account. The IDE downloads only for mac/win - there is no Linux installer as far as i can see. There is a Linux Server option but this is obviously not the same thing. Looking at the website, the "standard ...

Assuming the OP is a real person, as Craig says this is not possible under normal circumstances.
The usual culprit would be user code that initialises the fields on preOpenStack, resumeStack or openStack.

I think if you distribute your app as freeware you will at some point have to sport a graphic advertising livecode in your app’s interface or some such. I don’t know if that definitely is still the case or if said badge is as yet available or enforced…

I have a stack where all sorts of messages are being sent, and I wish to top everything 'dead', so I decided to use flushEvents , now, naturally I should send flushEvents("keyUp") as it is inwith a keyUp statement I need to stop everything dead, BUT . . . . . . I need to send 2 further commands inw...

I have a young friend/victim who has got himself in trouble with this: command moveEnemy if field "f1" is empty then move image "Knight 2" to random(800), random(600) in 2 seconds end if if field "f1" is empty then move image "Knight 45" to random(800), random(600) in 2 seconds end if send "moveEne...

I find that chatGPT generally confabulates a lot when it comes to coding. Claude AI less so, but still does as well. Claude Code is said to be better but it’s a paid product (and I haven’t paid ;)) According to Claude AI: Platform-Specific Considerations Desktop builds: Use the system's TLS implemen...

Stam:
I was curious about this so I tried it out.

put the sslVersion

No such command in my dictionary.
Bob

I did say it was untested and use with care, because AI does this sort of thing all the time…

A modern Mac with Apple silicon (M-series processors) will be much more than twice as fast in my experience. However I still don’t experience what you do, even on old machines. And I’m pretty sure if everyone experienced such unusable performance there would be a storm of posts about this from many ...
