Lots of people need a 'Nudge'.

Post by richmond62 »

There are quite a lot of websites like this one:

https://live-code.net/livecode-tutorial.html

that:

1. Are really quite good.

2. Give the misleading information that from LiveCode one can download a free version of their RAD-IDE.

3. Need a 'kick in the pants' to pointing out that there ARE free RAD-IDEs available elsewhere.

4. Need a 'kick in the pants' to change all references to LiveCode to, err, something else.

"Updated 12-19-2016"

Much of the Internet is old.

It may be that if you reach out to the author and offer to update the content, they may welcome the help.

Sometimes there's no other way than to do it oneself.

I've offered to host various LC community stuff over the years. Only two have ever taken me up on it. Both were ultimately abandoned months or years later, the authors having other priorities demanding their time.

I've been unable to meet all of my own ambitions, certainly unable to also take on others' abandoned content projects.

So it goes. Life offers many things to do. A lot of the time I used to volunteer making LC tools has become redirected for designing tabletop games and other non-digital art projects. With just 24 hours in each day, I gotta invest leisure time prudently.

Sometimes I even enjoy just playing tabletop games. If you ever take up an interest in sci-fi themed skirmish wargaming but are looking for something less committal than Warhammer 40k and with more relatable characters, we could have a conversation about Core Space. Great lore, flexible mechanics where rules depth can be tailored to one's tastes.

Well . . . 2016 . . .

I wonder if I should write to the author and see, if they are still extant, if they don't want to rejig their webpage I could 'steal' everything and rejig the good bits in terms of OXT and upload them here.
