Livecode instead of Python's GUI framework (Kivy)

[ngous]

Hi there! I'm completely new to LiveCode but I've managed to make at least one app. I loved LiveCode from the very first moment and I would like to see it growing even more...Congratulations to the Runrev and its team for keeping LC aliveand for the excellent job they provide ....Personally, I'm very grateful to all .
Recently , I came across with this application on youtube (v=PhQU-RyUc4A) - sorry but i'm not allowed to post the full url - ....It's name is ControlAble is a multitouch controller for Ableton Live ....... It's made with Kivy ( a python framework for building GUI apps). I would like to ask if it is possible to build something like that on Livecode( GUI and touch transition effects, etc)....or should I learn Python instead ? Thank you in advance...

Hi ngous,
Welcome to the forums

On the bright side a UI like that would be easy/intermediate with liveCode. No, nothing drag n drop, you'd have to hand make the elements.

On the not so bright... liveCode currently does not support desktop touchscreen (I have heard that its in the works).
For mobile stuff, no prob.

OK I'm only talking about the UI nothing to do with Ableton something-or-other.

Edit: What I meant by "not desktop touch screen" was no multiple touches like pinch n zoom.

Thank you Simon for your clear answer ! Much appreciated !!!

BTW , I can't wait for desktop touchscreen support~ It would be a great feature...!!!

On desktop touchscreen, there is a mouse message generated, which you may be able to use in the meantime until touch is supported properly. I made a kiosk game which responds to mouseUp etc. and works fine.

Thanks SparkOut for your valuable advice ...! I'll take it into consideration for the next time...!!!
