Learning from Scratch

2019-11-03 Thread Richmond via use-livecode
Personally I'd far rather learn from LiveCode and NOT "Scratch" (awfully sorry but that was just too juicy to pass up on!) I posted something that is really goofy on the Forums: basically what I do with LiveCode when I'm not being a nutty fruitcake with Sanskrit, but actually making money

Thanks to those who replied to my original question. I also liked the OT diversion into learning Dutch. I have Dutch friends and I just don’t know how they successfully learn languages at school when other nationalities (British, French, Spanish etc) seem hopelessly bad at it. As an

Funny, the mistake is why one got the error and thus had a blunder. It seems that in Finland due to their school system that they are also pretty good in languages, it also seems they have the highest learning scores in Europe. Surprislngly it seems to be a system created in the USA where it

Craig, Yes, it's working as expected on a Mac. Seems to be only an issue on Windows. -Dan On 11/3/19, 7:11 AM, "use-livecode on behalf of dunbarx--- via use-livecode" wrote: Hi. I don't suppose you have tested on a Mac? If not, I will when I get to my office tomorrow.

I'm not sure if in some countries kids learn languages more easily than in others. But, I do think: 1. In English-speaking countries there is an unconscious feeling that learning a foreign language is not 100% serious as "all the world learns English." 2. Many countries where the national

That's not right. The phone shouldn't sleep until you've been inactive for the amount of time in settings. Were you inactive for 30 seconds? Just tapping the screen or scrolling should reset the timer. I've got mine set for 5 minutes which seems like a good compromise. -- Jacqueline Landman
