Re: making a graphic the shape of a bitmap

for graphics. > Colin, When you say, "there doesn't seem to be a way to edit a graphic's shape" how do you mean? There is "Reshape graphic" under the Object menu for manual editing. Or did you mean something more sophisticated? Jim Hurley ___

Re: Hanoi Tower programming challenge...

Bob, Everybody finds these recursive algorithms hard, really hard, especially the Tower of Hanoi. Trouble is you can't start at the top. Start recursion with the factorial function. The factorial of 9 is 9 * factorial(8) and so on. Therefore: function Factorial n if n = 1 then retu

Re: ANN: Stars

Hi Ken, I agree with you about RevOnline being a priority. Surly, if they haven't the time for that, they haven't the time to promote LC in education. If that should ever happen, I believe TG would have to be integral to LC, if it is to be taken seriously. Libraries do not provide the visibil

Re: ANN: Stars

Hi Alejandro, I never taught such a course. I did write a book some time back: Turtle Physics, Holt, Reinhard, and Winston, 1985. Also in Spanish: Fisica con Logo. That implementation of TG was in LOGO, not LiveCode. LOGO was a product of the MIT multimedia lab and was an outgrowth of an MIT p

ANN: Stars

As LiveCode announcements go, this one is pretty low key. All "Stars" does is provide the code for drawing a star. But there is a lesson for LiveCode to learn from the lowly five-pointed star, the one on the US flag. A star may be viewed in two ways: 1) Analytical Cartesian Geometry: A collec

Re: Sort of a problem

Thanks Peter. But I live in a very conservative county. None of yer fancy diagonals here. NW indeed! Actually it is the County election database, and a search reveals only N, E, S, and W. I think I finally get the phrase "by of each". Live Code does pretty much what I did, except I'm sure

Re: Sort of a problem

Thanks Jerry. That is what I was looking for. There is some magic going on behind the scenes with that "by ... of each" that I never really caught on to. Jim > > Message: 5 > Date: Thu, 10 May 2012 21:23:36 -0700 > From: Jerry Jensen > To: How to use LiveCode > Subject: Re: Sort of a proble
