Re: Android 64-bit?

I have been following this with regard to Adobe AIR, and it’s nice that they get an extension. I use Unity too, and that has a longer extension. I suspect it’s in proportion to the number of apps submitted with those tools. I have read figures of 10% of apps are AIR and 50% of games are Unity. T

Re: OT: Catalina - the end of ad hoc & in-house development?

One part you say seems incorrect. I’ve been running Catalina full time since the first developer build, and I’ve seen various combinations of problems. For the one you’re talking about, where right-click Open still doesn’t open the app, in the security control panel where it used to say open app

Re: Recommended specs for Windows Development computer.

For my job I need to frequently test things in Windows 10, and I have been doing that using Parallels. It works really well, but sometimes I need to do hardware tests, and so I had Bootcamp added as well. I was curious how well it performs, and so downloaded a benchmark test program. Users who

Re: ...and a challenge

Pi is a reserved work, so I used pie. I haven’t seen this way of producing Pi before, and in both JavaScript and LivceCode it seems to be instantaneous. I think it’s a rewording of 4*(1-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/9…) Anyway, see for yourself on mouseup put the ticks into t put 1.0 into i put 3.0 * 10^20

Re: Recommended specs for Windows Development computer.

I originally bought Home, but at some point needed to do some RDP testing, which is a Pro feature. I think that currently my Parallels VM of Windows 10 doesn’t know it’s Pro, I need to track down the registration codes. Anyway, RDP aside, I didn’t yet need Pro features, and was testing with the

Re: IPhone geometry

I think they would, but the iPhone 11 screen is the same ratio of the iPhone X screen. If you had successfully submitted for iPhone X, it should be ok for iPhone 11. It only needs to be background though, but you could do some math and put buttons into the corners where the notches are (if your

Re: IPhone geometry

ShowAll will reveal the bits off the edges of the card. So long as you included the required stash screen the app will fill the taller screens. > On Nov 30, 2019, at 12:39 PM, Ludovic THEBAULT via use-livecode > wrote: > > > >> Le 30 nov. 2019 à 18:25, Colin Holgate vi

Re: iOS scrollers

It would be good to have a simple stack to test that only is for showing the problem. One thing I would look at is how you are measuring coordinates when using ShowAll. With ShowAll and Portrait, of a card that is iPhone 4 sized, zero Y is not at the top of the iPhone 5 screen. If you are findin

Re: Achilles Heel of Livecode

For Mickey Mouse, he would have been updated 12 times per second, and almost all cartoons you’ve ever watched were animated at 12 frames per second. The film was projected at 24 frames per second, and all normal movies you’ve seen in a cinema were also at 24 frame per second. PAL TV is 25 frames

Re: Java update?

I don’t know if your version of LiveCode is an example, but many applications need Java 6 in particular, and macOS comes with Java 8. The solution is to install the legacy version of Java as well: https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572?locale=en_US

Re: HyperCard: the Myst story

In 1993 Mac User magazine had a review of the top 50 CD-ROMs, and of those there was an overall winner. The A Hard Day’s Night CD-ROM I made in HyperCard was the overall winner. I was lucky that it was before Myst was released. It would have easily won!
