LiveCode Forums.

Haha well I can't promise it's quite up to the standard of an MIT warmup hunt but hopefully there's some enjoyable stuff in there!

Hello forum users, Some time ago I wrote a puzzle hunt for no particular reason other than to amuse myself - it has a couple of bits that are explicitly LiveCode related but mostly it should be solvable without LiveCode knowledge. Since I've titled it LiveCode Puzzle Hunt 2024 I thought I'd better '...

But you have to capture the message in the card script rather than the widget's (i.e. after adding to a card) This isn't the intention- you are supposed to be able to handle the message in the widget object's script. I'll have to check but potentially this is a dp 5 bug which will be fixed in dp 6.

Do in the script widget script

I had not noticed that `put <string>` does not work from a script widget... that was certainly not intentional! I think the failure of log is to do with a pre-existing issue about calling handlers implemented outside the widget which we're hoping to resolve asap.

Hi stam, You should be able to debug the script widget in the normal way when developing it, with breakpoints. If this is not working then I'm not sure why, although if your widget identifier starts com.livecode. then you will need to put true into gRevDevelopment to get its breakpoints to trigger. ...

Oh strange - that should work. Possibly a bug- either that or I've forgotten the correct syntax for it!

Hi stam, To use an enum editor in the PI for your switchValue property, you just need to return comma delimited `options` as metadata. You can change the label associated with each enum value using `|`, so you might do /* Metadata */ getProp propertyMetadata[pProperty] switch pProperty case "switchV...

Usually if the message box opens unexpectedly it's because of a 'rogue put statement', that is a `put` statement with no `into`. In the bottom left of the message box there is a little 'target' symbol. If you click that it should take you to the line of script with the rogue put on it (assuming that...

Hi Bob! That's a cool idea, I like your stack - I did a thing that's somewhat similar (https://alilloyd.livecodehosting.com/wordlc/suggester/suggester.html), although most of my effort went into trying to suggest the optimal word and is really a companion to a 'solver' I wrote (https://alilloyd.live...

Hi Craig, apologies - I was trying to submit to the iOS app store, and due to the many hoops I had to jump through I made a mistake while changing that to a svg widget checkbox. Should be fixed now. Incidentally, they still will not allow me to submit it to the app store due to 'copycat' rules, desp...

Personally I would think anyone who wanted to watch it spoiler free would have already done so!

That's good to hear, it really is such an excellent programme isn't it. You have a lot of great questions to get through!
