About the project - Team-xapi-in-LiveCode

2021-03-21 Thread Brian K. Duck via use-livecode
Tom, 

Sorry for the delayed response.

We’ve launched this project in support of the Spring 2021 xAPI Cohort, details 
on this free 12-week educational activity focused on the Experience API are 
available at xAPICohort.com, and it’s not too late to signup for the free 
learning sessions which allows access to our GitHub for project updates and the 
code repository.

The short answer is: there is more information in GitHub on our discussions 
page. 

https://github.com/orgs/xapicohort/teams/team-xapi-in-livecode/discussions

However - As the team site on GitHub is part of the xAPI Cohort, new members 
wanting to participate (or just to view the code) must sign up for the xAPI 
Cohort to gain access to the GitHub and Slack, where you can request access to 
the GitHub for team-xapi-in-LiveCode. (Sorry this is so convoluted, were just 
seeing this limitation as we invite members of the use-LiveCode list to join 
the team GitHub.)

Our team page says:

team-xapi-in-livecode
@xapicohort/team-xapi-in-livecode
We’re working with LiveCode developers to bring them into the cohort and will 
be working actively as a team during Spring 2021 Cohort to bring a LiveCode LRP 
to life. 

Initial Goals for #Team-xAPI-in-LiveCode 
1. Build a Learning Record Provider (LRP) for use as a baseline in other 
LiveCode Projects and publish to GitHub 
2. Utilize the LiveCode LRP to build example training content: likely using 
video profile, CMI5 or others.

There are weekly updates posted on the discussions page, and currently 4 
different LiveCode projects posted in the code / GitHub repository page that 
document the LiveCode projects that have been posted.

Brian

Hi Rick,
here's a sample with some put commands and comments for better understanding.
"
-- the cookie does not exists or is empty, so we now executing JS, but 
-- the following closing tag is mandatory, otherwise the js is not executed
?>   

let screenwidth = (screen.availWidth);
let screenheight =(screen.availHeight);
document.cookie = "screenres="+screenwidth +","+screenheight;

"
else
put "Cookie already there"
end if

--now we extract height and width from the var tScreenRes
set the itemdelimiter to ","
put item 1 of tScreenRes to tWidth
put item 2 of tScreenRes to tHeight

--from here take action according the detected screenresolution.
?>


Note: The above script detects and uses the available screen resolution. 
Regards,

Paul, Sean,

Thank you both for your answers, although it doesn't really solve my 
problem.
The most surprising thing is that javascript runs these calculations 
without

problem :
(-0.007347880794884118999 / 10) returns 
-7.347880794884119e-16
(-0.007347880794884118999 / 1) returns 
-7.347880794884119e-19


Best

Livecode can handle floating point numbers up to 2^52. But then
calculations would have to fit within that range in a floating point
perspective too. So, once you add that ninth zero to the end of your
divider, it struggles with the calculation and returns, effectively, 
number

out of range.

Fractions in FP binary are tremendously complicated. Calculation in it 
are

even more so.

might search the list archives or search the forum on the LC web site
for past discussions about number precision.
