Achilles Heel of Livecode

[JJS]

Their website is terrible to see what the product actually is and does.

But ok after looking for a while i thought wow, if can do all that. And 
you only need to pay once as far as i can see, although it might be a 
lot more.

It offers Java, iOs, Android, Windows, Mac, PHP, Linux, Win ce, Iot...

Going to test a trialversion, it downloads almost 3GB at install, let's 
see how it works.

The film was projected at 24 frames per second, and all normal movies you’ve seen in a cinema were also at 24 frame per second. PAL TV is 25 frames per second, and NTSC is 30 frame per second. So, those frame rates are clearly acceptable.

Open a browser on a mobile device and scroll the page. It’s smoothly updating at 60 frame per second. I think that’s what people are asking for, not animated GIFs.
