Re: Made with . . .

I'm not sure the learning of C and its relatively difficulty was the point here. Find me a book on C which teaches you how to create a window, show a button and have that button pop up a modal dialog which says 'hello world' on Android, HTML5, iOS, Linux, Mac and Windows then *that* would be int

Reading the comments on amazon for the 2nd book i read something about a computer science course of Harvard called CS50. A little search gave me this URL which let you take this course for free. http://cs50.tv/2016/fall/ The about section at that page says: Even if yo

That's a very good explanation, Thank you very much indeed. I had a "small problem" with a teenager in my programming classes who asked: "If Livecode is written using C++ why don't we just bypass Livecode completely?" Which prove that his English is up to a high standard :) I found a book i

Re: Made with . . .

Hah! I missed the IDE bit - 99.99% of the IDE is written in LCS (some widgets in LCB). Pretty much the only bits which aren't are done script introspection features (e.g. revAvailableHandlers), the core standalone building part (which fettles with executables on each platform) and the mechanism

Re: Made with . . .

Increasingly less - and in contrast the amount that could be done in LC instead of C++ continues to increase (far more slowly than I'd like - but hey, if wishes were horses...) Indeed, a lot of the 'heavy lifting' seen in the engine comes down to either the core abstractions which the LiveCode
