I am interested in purchasing this course, but notice the requirements say Mac or Windows.
I did see mention of a possible Linux version. Has this happened yet? I really don't have much interest in trying to setup a Windows environment just for this course.

LiveCode for Linux has been around for years. I use it daily. I would imagine any instructional materials about LiveCode could be used well on Linux.

Re: Can linux be used?
I looked at the faq and at the top it lists the min sys requirements as Mac and Windows. Further down where the question is about android and ios it says a Linux versions is planned, which prompted my question.
Tried to post a link to the faq but got an error saying my account can't post links, so I'll try this way.

Hi Jim,
1. welcome to the forum!
2. Yes, you need at least 10 postings before you can post links etc.
Build-in spam protection, I think.
3. I think Linux is not listed in the system requirements, because the course
uses a lot of videos and multimedia support on Linux has still erm... a LOT
of room for improvement, to put it politely
Best

I do almost all of my work on LiveCode -- both the core LiveCode engine and the IDE -- using Linux. So, yes, Linux can be used.

Re: Can linux be used?
True for many things, but as Klaus pointed out the tutorials in question here are very multimedia-heavy, and the LiveCode Linux engine is currently, shall we say, a bit weak with things like being able to play audio and video files.peter-b wrote:I do almost all of my work on LiveCode -- both the core LiveCode engine and the IDE -- using Linux.

If that's changed in v8 that would be great to know.
