Most style guides suggest using the full form once, following by the acronym in parentheses, after which the acronym thus defined can be used freely. E.g.: This session will discuss powerful techniques in LiveCode Script (LCS).

Re: what is LCs output for different platforms?
The engine is a mash up of c++ and platform obj-c on iOS and java on android. Our scripts are compiled as they are loaded into memory not at runtime.

Monte Goulding wrote The engine is a mash up of c++ and platform obj-c on iOS and java on android. Our scripts are compiled as they are loaded into memory not at runtime. Interesting. I've never heard of that model before. A load-time compiler? So it neither distributes compiled binaries (machine code) or p-code (pre-compiled binaries for execution by a runtime interpreter), but rather source code that gets compiled and executed at (technically runtime but not in the same sense as an interpreter, more in the sense of a compiler??). Gosh, I don't even think I can coherently describe that :-) This does represent an interesting hybrid model.

Re: what is LCs output for different platforms?
It is possible to create a binary executable with most scripting languages by building a binary that includes a full copy of the script interpreter and the script in source form. It is typically referred to as encapping a script. I'm sure this is the process with LiveCode. The technique is even used to produce a binary executable of Java programs though in those cases the Java byte code is encapped with a JVM. This technique is used for the JEdit text editor.

Peter And as if to answer our question... http://blog.runrev.com/blog/bid/266941/Taming-the-Monolith One of the things that fascinates me about the LC open-source initiative is the opportunity us geek types will get to learn from this. Its not only open-source, we are also getting an education as well. I wonder if there are opportunities to promote this as part of the kickstart campaign? -- Mark -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/what-is-LCs-output-for-different-platforms-tp4660332p4660339.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: what is LCs output for different platforms?
They take the engine minus the IDE stuff, and glue your stack to it, including substacks. The engine is I believe written primarily in C++ so I suppose you could tell them that. DBase worked similarly. You could either create a standalone app, or you could include a runtime engine and you source code in your distribution. Building a Livecode app with separate stacks included is a kind of mishmash of both approaches.
