The new language, which runs in its own IDE, is a departure from the transitional x-talk paradigm in that it permits typing of variables. In earlier versions, the set of object classes was fixed, and could be enhanced only via the use of ordinary procedural languages such as C. This major enhancement to the product includes a new, separate development language, known as "LiveCode Builder", which is capable of creating new object classes called "widgets". It is the most widely used HyperCard/HyperTalk clone, and the only one that runs on all major operating systems.Ī developer release of v.8 was announced in New York on March 12, 2015. The first version to deploy to the Web was released in 2009. The iOS (iPhone and iPad) version was released in December 2010. It can be used for mobile, desktop and server/CGI applications. LiveCode runs on iOS, Android, OS X, Windows 95 through Windows 10, Raspberry Pi and several variations of Unix, including Linux, Solaris, and BSD. The code base was re-licensed and made available as free and open source software with a version in April 2013. In April 2013, a free/open source version 'LiveCode Community Edition 6.0' was published after a successful crowdfunding campaign at Kickstarter. In March 2015, the company was renamed "LiveCode Ltd.", to unify the company name with the product. "LiveCode" is developed and sold by Runtime Revolution Ltd., based in Edinburgh, Scotland. "Revolution" was renamed "LiveCode" in the fall of 2010. The platform won the Macworld Annual Editor's Choice Award for "Best Development Software" in 2004. The "Revolution" development system was based on the MetaCard engine technology which Runtime Revolution later acquired from MetaCard Corporation in 2003. It features the LiveCode Script (formerly MetaTalk) programming language which belongs to the family of xTalk scripting languages like HyperCard's HyperTalk. LiveCode (formerly Revolution and MetaCard ) is a cross-platform rapid application development runtime system inspired by HyperCard. Windows, macOS, Linux, Unix, Raspberry Pi
