What is a .LIVECODE file?
The .LIVECODE file extension is associated with a type of file known as a LiveCode Stack File. This type of file is created using LiveCode, which is a software tool designed for building applications that can run on multiple platforms.
A LiveCode Stack File contains a "stack," which is a collection of "cards." Each card within the stack can control different aspects of how the application looks and functions. These cards can include various elements such as buttons, menus, text boxes, scrollbars, tables, and more, which together define the user interface and interactions within the application.
To create a .LIVECODE file, you would start by opening the LiveCode program and selecting "File" from the menu, then choosing "New Mainstack." This action opens a new window or card where you can design and edit your application. Once you have made your changes and are ready to save your work, you go to "File," then "Save" or "Save As..." or use the "Share This Stack..." option. You will then need to give your file a name, choose where you want to save it on your computer, and click "Save." To open an existing .LIVECODE file, you can simply double-click on the file if it is accessible, or you can open LiveCode, go to the "File" menu, and select "Open Stack..." or "Open Recent File." Then, navigate to where the .LIVECODE file is stored, select it, and click "Open." The primary program used to open and work with .LIVECODE files is RunRev LiveCode. This program allows you to both create new LiveCode Stack Files and open existing ones to modify or run the application they contain.
