Option MenuPick in iOS
I am working on my first app for iOS and have an option menu button that works fine in the IDE but not in the Simulator. When the card loads, it populates the menu options of the option menu button from values in a field on the card put empty into button SiteList put "Select Site" into line 1 of button SiteList Put "New Site" into line 2 of button SiteList repeat with i = 3 to the number of Lines in fld SiteData + 2 put Item 1 of line i-2 of field SiteData into line i of button SiteList end repeat set the label of btn SiteList to "Select Site" That works fine. When I select one of the menu items it should then populate other fields on the card and this works fine in the IDE, but not in the simulator. It appears as the menuPick is not recognized at all. Any ideas? on menuPick pItemName Put the MenuHistory of button "SiteList" into theLine if theLine > 2 then Put pItemName into field "SiteName" Put item 2 of line theLine - 2 of field "SiteData" into field "Lat" Put item 3 of line theLine - 2 of field "SiteData" into field "Long" End If end menuPick ** Stewart Lynch CreaTECH Solutions sly...@createchsol.com 604.484.8499 Skype:StewartLynch There are only 10 kinds of people.

Re: Livecode iOS app live in the app store
The kinds of shadows could be perfected, but I think that initially we were only talking about there being shadows versus no shadows. I just looked at the game, it it does size the snowball well enough, but I notice that the frame rate is low. If the frame rate was higher then the sizing of the ball would be more noticeable. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Livecode iOS app live in the app store
If the goal is photo-realism on Earth in daylight with few clouds you would need to add the scattered light contribution. The scattering factor is dependent on the wave length of light, thus blue light is scattered most and will soften a distinct shadow, as well as make it appear smaller. You could use a 3D rendering program to capture jpg's of various shadows if you wanted to. Most any will accurately render the effect of sun, sky, ambient light, and radiosity. Some even have algorithms for longitude, latitude, time of day, time of year to capture the correct sun conditions anywhere on the globe, such as Cheetah 3D. On the moon or other planet without atmosphere or clouds, there would be no reflection or scattering, thus long shadows remain distinct.

Re: Planning/design/estimating checklists
Thanks, Kee, Mark and Richard for the responses. Kee's feedback is exactly the kind of 'top tip' that I was thinking about. It is specific to LiveCode and with very clear 'Why", 'What', 'Where', 'When' and 'How'. I'm sure that a couple of top tips from the experts here would go along way towards creating some checklists for folks moving from high-level design or pseudo-code to actual LiveCode stacks, cards, etc. Best, Keith..

Re: Livecode iOS app live in the app store
I want to suggest a change. When you tap and hold the snowball for the pullback, you seem to be using the diff between the start of the tap and the current dragged position to adjust the snowball launcher. But this means releasing from the same place on the screen can give different results. I'd suggest using the offset from a set position (center of the snowball, perhaps, or a little farther forward) instead of the tap position. That way, variations on where you first put your finger won't throw off your aim. I was finding that if I touched too low on the snowball, I couldn't even hit the back row. There wasn't enough pullback room on the screen. One might be tempted to say it adds some challenge to the game, but the interface should always be on the user's side. :) ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsanity ~ Ex-Game Interface Programmer (Elder Scrolls 3 & 4, Fallout 3) On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 8:41 AM, John Craig wrote: > I created a small LC game for iPhone and it's now in the app store.

Re: Livecode iOS app live in the app store
I just downloaded it tried it game is great, I am not so great, I only got a score of 880. One way you could show the effect of rising and falling is by adding a shadow that moves away from the snowball(and gets bigger) the higher it is. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Livecode-iOS-app-live-in-the-app-store-tp3162068p3163794.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays) with LiveCode fun!
Many thanks, Jeffrey. I was really pleased to look at your code. A good demonstration of the power of natural selection ! I did something similar some years ago, a little standalone for my students I called "Weasel", but your code is better organised, more elegant, and it's some sex in it (my "animals" were haploids and had asexual reproduction like bacteria). Why "Weasel" ? It stems from Richard Dawkins' "the blind watchmaker" (1986). Quotation: "I don't know who it was first pointed out that, given enough time, a monkey bashing away at random on a typewriter could produce all the works of Shakespeare. The operative phrase is, of course, given enough time. Let us limit the task facing our monkey somewhat. Suppose that he has to produce, not the complete works of Shakespeare but just the short sentence 'Methinks it is like a weasel', and we shall make it relatively easy by giving him a typewriter with a restricted keyboard, one with just the 26 (capital) letters, and a space bar. How long will he take to write this one little sentence?" I had the pleasure to hear Dawkins demonstrating his version of the algorithm at the CERN, Geneva.
