LiveCode developer for hire

Post by ooper » Sat Nov 30, 2013 3:13 am

Hi, I'm looking for a liveCode developer to implement the following functionality:

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tuaw.com/med ... estamp.png

Requirements:
Create a script to emulate the IOS Text Message bubbles user interface/functionality. The budget is $250 USD (payable with PayPal), but you get to keep the ownership of the code. All I ask is that you grant an Apache 2 (commercial, unlimited distribution) source license to me. You can do whatever you want with your code. It shouldn't be too hard with the right skills. It may even be a fun project!

Specifics:
Cards must be scrollable, writable and ideally run in all mobile platforms supported by LiveCode, including all iPhones, Android and iPads.
The following might help figure out how to scroll the card: http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4 ... chitecture

parameters: cardName, alignment (“left” or “right”), control (takes the long id of a liveCode control)
script functionality (Pseudo-code):

Code: Select all

 if card cardName doesn’t exist, create a new card and name it cardName with card property "lastExchange" to the date
               go card cardName
               create bubble (use best-practice padding around each bubble).  Bubbles draw with the arrow pointing out.
               paste control passed in.  Must fit the control rectangle passed in, plus padding (use best-practice sizing)
               if the alignment is “left” then 
                   set the background of the bubble to light blue
                   align the bubble to the left of the screen
               else
                  set the background of the bubble to gray
                  align the bubble to the right of the screen
              end if
            place bubble at the bottom of the card, right below the last one. If the date is different, append a label controller with the date.
Thanks!

Hi Mark,

Someone got ahead of you just after my posting, and we cut a deal before I even looked back at the forum. So sorry.
We'll see how that goes, but I will keep you in mind moving forward.
Thank you.
/Carl
