I found that launching the simulator and getting a device running BEFORE testing from LC often helped. As an aside, since setting up LC 9.6.0(dp1) and xCode 11.1 Ive been unable to get the simulator to load my app. I’m still fiddling to see what how to attack it differently :- ) (If I go back

I created a new library stack to create cuid compliant unique ids in Livecode. What the heck is a cuid you ask? Well, in a nutshell, a cuid is a "portable and sequentially-ordered unique identifier designed for horizontal scalability and speed". You can use a cuid just like you would a UUID.

I used Compile-it forever. It was faster than the compiled v.2x HC by orders of magnitude. But, and this is hardly a fair test, I get over 8 million passes per second through a repeat loop in LC if I do not tax it overmuch, say, adding 1 to a variable on each pass. The point is, how much more

Try writing a serious arcade game with LiveCode. Sorry but it just isn’t up to the task as it isn’t fast enough. Remember Compile-It for Hypercard? Perhaps we need something similar for LiveCode that would run at standalone creation time, or whenever we request it for that extra-speed. I know

OK, OK . . . So, if I have a series of images being flipped-through inside a graphic 'frame' and DON'T have any *wait* statements the thing happens so quickly I cannot see the animation at all: so, to get 60 frames a second, presumably, one has to have a *wait 1 tick* statement between each
