Dear All,

Have you tried LiveCode 8 yet? We’re incredibly proud of it and we think you will love it. You can read all about the new benefits here, watch our launch webinar or read the Q&A about LiveCode 8 here.

I’d like to extend a huge thank you to those of you that backed the project through crowd funding and to all our paid license holders and backers who made this mammoth project possible.

But we’re not done yet.

Infinite LiveCode

As truly wonderful as LiveCode 8 is, it is a new set of foundations and a ground floor – an enabler for an ecosystem an order of magnitude larger than the one we already enjoy today. That’s why today I’m announcing the our biggest and most important campaign of 2016 — Infinite LiveCode.

LiveCode Widgets: The Navigation Bar

by Ali Lloyd on May 5, 2016 10 comments

One of the first widgets we decided to include in LiveCode 8.0 was the navigation bar. The IDE previously included a mobile template as a sample stack, but the ability to provide this key bit of functionality as a drag and drop object in the tools palette was a no-brainer. It will hopefully prove to be an extremely useful tool for building native-looking mobile applications rapidly; it also demonstrates some of the power of the LiveCode Builder language that widgets are written in and the seamless integration of widgets in the IDE.

LiveCode Interactive Tutorials

by Ali Lloyd on March 31, 2016 30 comments

Way back in April 2015 I made a small prototype of how an interactive tutorial system might work in LiveCode. Here’s how it looked:Screen Shot 2016-02-25 at 11.37.05

 

It worked reasonably well – well enough to demonstrate the feasibility of such a system. It was generally agreed that it was something we would like to develop. However the prototype was almost completely hard-coded, meaning changing the tutorial would be difficult, and there was no capacity for having multiple different tutorials in the IDE. As there was still plenty of work to do on the IDE for 8.0, the tutorial was put on hold for a while (albeit returned to periodically to make sure it still vaguely worked, and to make some of the generalisations it needed).

Better Theming in LiveCode 8

by Fraser Gordon on March 9, 2016 3 comments

The design of user interfaces has changed substantially since LiveCode was first created. For example, instead of a single font used throughout the UI, modern designs use a variety of different fonts for different purposes, in varying sizes and styles.
