LiveCode Forums.

Hello All,

I've been studying a form of mathematics which I don't think has been used before in the case of software, I am wondering if its possible to write a new algorithm based on maths I've found for compression and/or encryption (cipher for encryption).

I am a new user to LiveCode, I am sure other languages could do it, but I want to learn the mathematical functions in LiveCode.

What I am asking are the following:

Can a new compression and/or encryption algorithm be made in LiveCode
If so, which one would be the easiest to implement?

Can someone please direct me or give me some sample code on how I may go about doing this - remember - total newb!

Maths and Geometry are my specialty.... coding is not. Thank you

Hi Imamarty,
Welcome to the forum!
Just so you know your post has not gone into the ether I'll give it a shot.

I don't think has been used before in the case of software

Really going to be tough to show you an example if thats the case.

Check out Roger's stack it's got great Math and Geometry in it. Maybe you'll have to give a shout out specifically to Roger. But it's all volunteer support here so there may be no reply.

Jim Hurley and Ian McKnight both have maths applications.

Have Fun!
