Silly Livecode Problems
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 5:18 pm
These aren't really gripes as much as little issues I have due to my own limitations when using Livecode.
I find them funny, and I am curious if anyone else has similiar funny issues...
#1 - I cannot remember whether to use "with" or "for" in a repeat statement... I have a sticky note on my computer reminding me the proper usage. If I had to program a robot to disarm a bomb and it included repeat statements, we'd all be blown to dust by now.
#2 - Because of the English-like nature of Livecode, I have a tendency of adding punctuation where it doesn't belong. For example:
if this=that, then doSomethingElse!
#3 - Similarly, I sometimes start adding words that don't belong, or I start moving out of Livecode into a regular sentance
if there is a file tFile there then put this thing over there
#4 - Finally, when I get frustrated I start swearing in my scripts... and I find it really annoying that the Livecode engine doesn't respond... (no example provided, you get the idea)
