Sounds in iOS

[John Dixon]

Have a look at the environment function in the dictionary... this function will be your friend in the circumstances in which you find yourself... for example

on openCard
   if environment() = "mobile" then
      do it this way
   end if
   
   if environment() = "development" then
      do it another way
   end if
end openCard

'less cross-platform than one might hope'... I don't think so. How many other development environments can you think of that tackle Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android not too mention the server platform...

And I have to disagree with you on the point of clarity as it was clear to me... using a function like environment() I see as a staple ingredient in being able to develop croos-platform apps quickly and easily, and .. err... it's been around since version 1.0

IMHO this is bad news for old dogs like me, and worse for people trying to learn LC for the first time.
