Infinite Livecode: Java progress

by Ali Lloyd on November 9, 2016 4 comments

Current progress

Since the Infinite LiveCode project was funded we have been hard at work with all the unglamorous but important preparation needed to make it possible, including refactoring the LiveCode Builder virtual machine. We have also made significant progress on the Java foreign function interface (FFI) that sits between the LiveCode Builder world and the Java world. Once the remaining few pull requests are merged, it will possible to interface with loaded Java classes, in particular the Android API – enabling you to instantly add vast swathes of additional functionality to your Android apps.

LiveCode Widgets: More Line Chart Madness

by Monte Goulding on November 2, 2016 No comments

Continuing on from my last blog post where I added the showLines and markerStyles property to the line chart and not being one to know when to stop I realised that what the line chart really needs now is more marker styles. I could come up with some more styles and draw them but that’s not as much fun as what I’m going to do. What I’m going to do is allow you to specify one of the 6 marker styles already implemented and also any icon name from the svg library. We can have beautiful charts with little smiley faces as markers!

by Fadillah Iskandar on October 12, 2016 10 comments

This month, leading up the National Code Challenge in Malaysia, was extremely hectic, but extremely rewarding and I am overjoyed with the way the event went.

I am the lead trainer and content developer for the Coding@Schools program, a government funded initiative aimed at introducing primary school children in Malaysia into the world of computing and programming, to encourage them to become contributors to and creators of the Internet rather than mere consumers.

by Monte Goulding on September 15, 2016 2 comments

Last week we looked at how to use the Line Chart Widget. This week I am going to show you how to modify this widget. I have included a link to the code on GitHub at the end of this blog post.

Having spent most of my time lately immersed in mergExt externals, the LiveCode engine and the IDE, I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to delve into LiveCode Builder and Widgets. Until now…

tsNet: New Networking Capabilities for LiveCode

by Charles Warwick on September 9, 2016 2 comments

Starting with the 8.1.0 DP3 release, LiveCode commercial editions include a new networking external, tsNet, that enhances the existing networking capabilities of LiveCode. tsNet utilises the curl networking library to provide a full suite of functions for both synchronous and asynchronous transfers using HTTP(S), FTP(S), SFTP and SMTP(S) protocols. This is good news for LiveCode developers as along with the support of new protocols, all transfer types can be performed in a non-blocking manner with callback support.
