Looking for Best Practices to Improve Performance and Code Optimization in LiveCode

Post by brightmenu » Wed Dec 10, 2025 5:11 am

Hello everyone!

I’m new to LiveCode and would love some guidance on improving the performance of my applications. In particular, I’m trying to find effective ways to manage repetitive code and optimize memory usage within LiveCode projects.

I’m also interested in learning about useful tools, techniques, or workflows that can help with testing and debugging more efficiently.

If you have experience, tips, or any helpful documentation to recommend, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

Oh so much to write. Let's start at a starting point most relevant to you: what part of your app are you writing right now, what does it do?

Well, either that or someone wanting you to do their work for them.

Certainly a bit of a rough introduction with no cap in hand nor touch of humbleness.

Once in a while an authentic new user shows up. I ask for details because it's generally useful, with the bonus of weeding out bots.
