Yeah, I guess the part I don't quite get is open persistent bidirectional connection. I draw parallels from app-level pub/sub (eg https://github.com/stam66/skPubSub - but this lightweight implementation does not ensure message is received or store a last will and testament etc. I suppose this can't ...

Interesting... out of curiosity, what would you be using this for?
Looking at the MQTT protocol it seems like fairly standard publish/subscribe but over the net, and perhaps unnecessarily over-complicated.
Are you implementing the full MQTT spec? how are you deploying this with LiveCode if I may ask?

Hi Mark, the error you describe is likely because you should be defining the rect of the stack rather than the card. from what I am seeing I'm guessing you can't create UI elements using a script-only stack? Or, if I'm wrong, what is the "proper" way to go about it. No, I don't think that's right. I...

That looks cool, reminds me of the late 80s/early 90s when tiling your desktop was a thing

Hi, this is really a 2 part question. Part 1. I am building a stack using primarily livecode script to place objects. I've am wondering if there is a guide to doing this kind of work lying around (and if not, I suppose I should think of creating one). Part 2. How can I add a widget (in this case a ...

Thanks @SparkOut, I will drop the project and will "learn" Python. Alternatively if you are looking for a visual IDE, you could look into Xojo. Their Linux offering used to be free or low cost, but they recently had price hikes like everyone else and not sure how that’s affected their offering, but...

When I issue a TCP call using tsNetCustom, the server sends a response as text. How can I put the returned text into a variable so it can be shown either as an "answer" (dialog box) or set as the text of a display field? I'm not familiar with tsNetCustom, but looking the documentation: The tsNetCus...

Connecting to a hosted MySQL database is tricky because a direct connection, such s what you would do from your development machine, is discouraged for security reasons. I believe it is possible, if discouraged, to whitelist specific IP addresses, but if your IP changes that all breaks. The usual re...

The fact that it runs fine on your personal system suggests it's the 'middleware' that's the issue. I presume you are just accessing MySQL at 127.0.0.1 locally but obviously can't do that from remote, and hence some kind of middleware (PHP or LC server/app) will usually reside on the remote server, ...

Ah lol….should have guessed…

SprunkiBot says nothing synthetic at all.

Sorry, I gotta ask… what does this mean?

Same, some apps needed updating but in general most stuff works. My biggest issue was with Little Snitch, had to deactivate the application firewall and install new version, now all is good.

No issues at all with LC. MInd you, the is LCC/Classic LC 10, not “community”…

Maybe the 'real' people in this generation are so lazy, that, not being bothered to take the trouble to find the answers to basic questions, their questions look as if they have been generated by bots. 8) I reckon they should use two AIs: one to generate the question and the other to answer it, and...

Hello everyone, I'm new to LiveCode and want to save data from a field to a text file. I'm not sure which command to use and how to reopen saved data. Can someone share a basic example for me to refer to? Either you are a bot, or perhaps just lazy? I would argue finding answers online is a basic de...

My recollection was they stated that LC10 has now entered a maintenance phase and would be maintained with updates through 2027, when it will be sunsetted in favour of LCC. I’m pretty sure no one would be surprised if that happened at a much later date or not at all, given their track history. But o...
