I’m working on a project related to this discussion. It’s a specialized tool for music students in the form of a runtime application that has a tool palette and inspector—reproducing LiveCode’s IDE in a simplified, targeted manner. So I’m very interested in understanding how LiveCode’s IDE

Keeps on getting better. I am now at the stage where I would be grateful for anyone who wishes to deploy a vaguely "Hypercardy" simplified UI for Livecode 8.0 to try the thing out and give me feedback. Anyone who wishes is, of course, welcome to muck around with the stack and improve things -

Hi, Wow. Richard's vision with a K-12 package as a subset of Community LiveCode is exciting. If it was made to run on the Raspberry Pi 3, then it might be even better. Years ago, Hugh was working on an authoring system that I was enamored with called FootNotes. That was mostly about ebook

There was actually a Hypercard-like front-end being built in Metacard at some point and was actually quite advanced as I recall. If I am not mistaken it was made open-source. RObert On 19.05.2016 at 16:07 Uhr +0300 Richmond apparently wrote: That has already been discussed over in the

As you will have read, the people involved find the LiveCode UI to be more complicated than it needs to be for most users. If LiveCode had ‘set the userlevel to 1’, etc, they would be more happy. > On May 19, 2016, at 6:08 AM, RM wrote: > > Over on the Yahoo

Over on the Yahoo group "Discussion Group for Hypercard" there is this topic. This seems to be a seasonal phenomenon, which never comes to much, and I cannot help wondering why it keeps coming up. One thing that does cross my mind is that maybe (?) some of these people haven't heard about
