Claude 3.5 Sonnet and LiveCode

[Hutchboy]

Hi,

Today I tried out the free version of Claude 3.5 Sonnet which has just been released and am impressed in comparison to my work with ChatGPT 4.o. In the header of the card script of the attached stack I have included development notes about the Claude session I conducted. Briefly I gave the LLM a non-trivial task to create an interactive stack demonstrating the decimal expansion of fractions and asked it to script the user interface as well. With a few tweaks I created the attached stack.

Back from a hiatus...Happy Coding,
Mike

Hi,

I have been working with the "Project" feature in Claude 3.5 Sonnet which allows uploading files into a "Project Knowledge" area. Chats may be initiated within a "Project" and this permits the chatbot to use the info in the Project Knowledge repository. Also, it seems that within this Project structure it remembers the content and context of project chat sessions.

As an example, I created a Project specifically tailored to look at BASIC source code, analyze it, and implement LiveCode versions of the BASIC programs. I have run a number of independent chats in this project that involves uploading game source code from the BASIC Computer Games book, edited by David Ahl and published by Creative Computing, copyright 1978.

I've attached a trivial game "Bombs Away!" that is a LiveCode port of the BASIC game, with few tweaks. I've also attached a dialogue I had with Claude after working on a number of these conversions within my Project structure. It is pretty interesting, if the responses are true, because I basically asked Claude to review our Project chat sessions and comment on any improvements it has recognized in its performance. It made 15 interesting points which made me set back in my chair for a moment.
