Re: how to bitwise negate a binary file?

Michael, thanks for your solution. Can´t believe that it is so easy to do that manipulation. I thought char cannot be used with binary files, but it can. Thanks again. Regards, Matthias Am 08.09.2011 um 03:42 schrieb Michael Kann: > repeat for each char c in negated_binary_file > put charToNu

LiveCode.tv Event #37

Dear LiveCoders, Last Saturday, 9 July, we had another nice on-line gathering of LiveCode fans. This time we had 2 great presentations by Colin and Mike. Colin gave an introduction to Unity 3D. Videos shown during his presentation can be found at http://qery.us/yr and you can also try the final

How does compiling work?

Hi! Is there any documentation how compiling of livecode works internally? Is it a compiler which can produce native code (for Windows, Linux, etc.)? Are the scripts packaged within the executable together with an interpreter and interpreted at run time? Or is it more like a virtual machine ap

Re: How does compiling work?

Hi Julian, It would really help if you told us why you need to know. A LiveCode stack is packaged with the executable and is compiled, rather than interpreted, at runtime. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com

Either have a repeat loop which includes a 'wait 5 seconds with messages' line or a handler which ends with 'send "whateverthenameofthishandleris" to me in 5 seconds. Both should do this without locking the interface. Ian On 8 Sep 2011, at 13:05, William de Smet wrote: > Hi there, > > I want

The only thing that comes to mind that an iPhone would be able to use is a barcode. You would have to be able to access the camera, and the older iPhones have crappy cameras so no workie with them. Seems like a non-starter right there, especially if you want the user to actually scan the bar cod

I think the original post talked about keying in a number to get the right recording? I know users aren't always the smartest people in the world (including myself as one) but if I see a big number next to an object and the app is telling me to key in a number, I'm pretty sure I could figure that

Definitely concur with having to mess with things to see just how they might turn out. On the other hand, I don't see anything mutually exclusive about the "first" and the "best" version of anything. Take the iPad for example. Much as I hate Apple's imperious attitude to what an app can and can'
