Animation

Hey, all. I'd like to experiment with LC for some video game development. Sprite animation with collision detection, vertical and horizontal landscape scrolling, etc. Can LC keep up the pace when the number of on-screen objects gets to a dozen or more? Need special add-ons like the

Re: Animation

Hi J, I'd say it really depends on the targeted platform. The weaker the hardware, the more hoops you need to jump through. Regarding animationEngine: As the developer of said add on it comes naturally for me to think it is helpful, however, it is written completely in liveCode. No rocket

Re: Animation

Thanks, Malte. I've downloaded the AnimationEngine trial and will take a look this afternoon. :) At this time, I am just playing around, so I will be developing on Mac OS X for deployment on same. If I get really crazy, I might see how my ideas run on my BootCamp Windows install. Not

Re: DELETE, PUT http

Hi Trevor and others, I just looked into put into url again and found out that you need to configure your server to make it work. Apparently, you can't do this in a .htaccess or php.config file but you need to do this at a higher level. Currently, I have no server that I can configure this

Re: Help understanding iOS deployment

I'm trying to understand TestFlight and the workflow model it supports so as to interact with beta tester(s) for my iOS app(s), but so far their FAQ etc doesn't quite explain the model to a real ignoramus like me. I know how to develop for iOS using Livecode, and I have got as far as being

Hi J, I joined the Atari camp with the ST. Had an Amstrad CPC before that. And a Sinclair zx Spectrum. So I guess I can be counted into the I am old camp too :-D I once did a Parallax scroller in liveCode (when it was still rev). Might be fun to dig that one up and try with the accelerated

Take a look at your TestFlight Dashboard. That alone will answer a few of your questions, such as how to invite testers. The other answers should be in their FAQ JimL ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to

Hi J, LC can handle the game of 9 ball pool fairly well, and that is fairly computationally intensive--handling the collisions between multiple moving balls. You can find it at http://jamesphurley.com/Revolution.html To download a stack from that web site, get the link and run this in the

Re: Code Security When Using LiveCode Server

Hello Jacqueline, Richard, Mike, Pierre, and Phil, Thank you for your helpful thoughts on web code security. I think I’ll prototype with a combination of stacks for sensitive things (I’ll do some homework on where to place the stacks and how to refer to them) and embedded lines for innocuous

Re: Working with seconds, what am I missing?

You are correct, its a matter of daylight savings time. I believe the date converted to seconds turns into the seconds representing the first moment of that date IE midnight. Then there is an adjustment for daylight saving time. The easiest way around this (if you only care about the date itself

Need advice on upgrading LiveCode and environment

I'm upgrading my development environment. Based on the pain others seem to have gone through, I want to make a big jump. However, I want to continue to build universal externals to support PPC and I'm concerned about multiple iOS external SDK installations. My current setup on Snow Leopard:
