Sorting cards

I am converting an old stack to LC and it needs to sort cards by one of two fields. LC does stable sorts, so if I sort by field 1 it works, and then if I sort later by field 2 it retains the original sort and does a sub-sort. I don't want that. What's the best way to ignore the previous sort

Oh Jacque, it may have been short but then there was the tantalizing link to Ray Dalio’s Last Warning: “Most People have no idea what’s coming”. And then the one about the “Most Powerful Computers you never heard of”. Oh, and the MIT study that predicted that Society will collapse in 2040 (this

Re: Is there a better way to check if images are the same? I now use imagedata

If the intent is to copy the example exactly then I'd think the imageData would be the same. But I'd use location data as others have suggested. Get the end points of the line graphic and loop through a list of correct points to compare against. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay |

William, My basic suggestion is that you use the location data of each connected dot, rather than the image data. Good luck, Bill P Sent from my iPad > On Dec 29, 2021, at 8:42 AM, William Prothero via use-livecode > wrote: > > William, > I understand that you want to see if the dots that

Re: Is there a better way to check if images are the same? I now use imagedata

William, I understand that you want to see if the dots that are connected in one path are also connected in another path which may have them connected in a different order. Seems you could just loop through each dot in the reference path, then see if the same dots are included in the user’s

Re: Is there a better way to check if images are the same? I now use imagedata

Hi William, If you could provide a link to a photo example of what you are doing that would help us to understand the problem better. There may be a way to simplify your process so you don’t have to check every pixel. Rick > On Dec 29, 2021, at 4:57 AM, William de Smet via use-livecode >

That's really cool - thanks. Improvements ?   How much time do you have :-) 1. Visual display of contagion zone while running. 2. Recovery. After being infected for some length of time, an individual stops being infectious; either it dies, and becomes a static black dot, or recovers and

Re: Infection Simulation

Neat simulation Roger. I wonder if you could simulate the effect of a lock down where small groups form and individuals rarely move outside their bubble? That might show the benefit of lockdowns in helping to reduce the spread of disease. Also, I did not understand what the concept of

Is there a better way to check if images are the same? I now use imagedata

Hi there, Is there a better way to check if images are the same? I now use imagadata. In my app I have an example drawn image (5x5 matrix with dots, a Geoboard). These dots are important because by touching them their Loc is used (gStartLoc and gStartLoc) Two dots will be connected by setting
