Our Vision for the Web in LiveCode 10

We’re really excited to bring Web up to a first class citizen in LiveCode 10. Our goal is that you’ll be able to use cards, stacks and the LiveCode language almost anywhere you might previously have needed JavaScript. We’ve learned from past incarnations of LiveCode on the web what we need to do so you can quickly create an amazing experience with your web apps.

Some of the changes here will have major benefits for LiveCode on all platforms. We’ll come back and talk about some of that in a moment. First though, I want to highlight a number of things you can do in our first developer preview of 10 on the Web, today.

It’s Here. LiveCode 10 dp-1

by Panagiotis Merakos on November 18, 2021 No comments

We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 10.0.0 DP-1. Developer Preview Release

Warning: this is not a stable release. Please ensure that you back up your stacks before testing them.

Getting the Release

You can find the release in your LiveCode account area or get it via the automatic updater. To find the dp-1 test release in your LiveCode account, please scroll down to below the list of stable releases, to find your available test releases.

Release Contents

LiveCode 10.0.0 DP-1 comes with several bug fixes and some amazing new features:

Web deployment now uses WebAssembly

The WebAssembly engine is smaller, and substantially faster than the previous asm.js version. Our benchmarking has this showing as typically around 4X faster. In addition, moving to this new architecture means that the wait command now works – along with any engine functionality which internally uses wait-like functionality. Lots of LiveCode-built applications use this internally so this feature means they will all run fine in a browser.

Introducing our new LiveCode Official Partner for Education Ages 10-17

by Kevin Miller on November 16, 2021 No comments

Education is a vitally important part of what LiveCode offers. We believe there is no other environment available that measures up to what it can provide in an educational setting, especially for older children and young adults. To help students realise their full potential in this area, we have just signed up a new partner in education.

Tekkie Uni and LiveCode

I’m incredibly excited today to be able to introduce Tekkie Uni, our brand new LiveCode Official Partner for Education Ages 10-17. Tekkie Uni are a well established  educational content provider with an impressive pedigree, running a phenomenal series of online courses to teach App Development for Kids. This entire course is based on LiveCode and is available at three levels. Unlike many other online training courses, Tekkie Uni teach students in small classes with a live teacher in each and every class. Tekkie Uni also offer online teacher training courses and licensed curriculum materials for schools. We’re delighted to be able to offer both the online App Development courses and the teacher training and curriculum materials to you on behalf of Tekkie Uni.

I’m delighted to be able to report back on more of what we have planned for LiveCode 10. Recent changes at LiveCode have meant that we have been able to scale up our LiveCode development team. New engineers will be moving to or joining that team from next week and give us the biggest team we’ve ever had working on LiveCode in our 20 year history. We’re all super excited about what this means for the LiveCode platform.
