Exercise Your Right Brain

Andrew Walters wants to help everyone be a genius at maths. Just as you need to train your body to run faster become an Olympic sprint champion, you need to train your mind to think faster to become a maths genius. Andrew developed Maths Trainer in LiveCode to do just that.

Maths Trainer tests and helps you improve your mental ability by letting you play fun games to keep your mind fit. The games become progressively more difficult to improve your brain performance.

Andrew originally developed the app on his desktop and said "I was blown away by how easily and quickly it went over to mobile. With a little bit of work I was able to get a fun and full functioning app running on my phone."

Sadly, it is no longer available in the play store.

Help navigate a boat

Paul Hibbert recently attended a boating course, I'll let him tell the story.

"During the boating course they taught how to do chart plotting calculations manually using a regular calculator. The potential for a LiveCode app to make life easier soon became obvious, so after an evening of playing around with some code I came up with a nautical calculator app on my PC.

The next stage was getting the app onto my iPhone. The LiveCode Mobile Development Beginners Guide by Colin Holgate was an invaluable resource, it just took away all the uncertainty and answered all of the questions I came up against.

After a few more evenings reading Colin's book, the app was on my iPhone ready for the next boating lesson, my homework was a breeze after that and I passed the course with ease."

Work out how to build a pyramid

Andreas Klosermaier was doing a Minecraft project with his son. They wanted to build a pyramid as the ancient Egyptians did (no cheating, real crafting!). They used LiveCode to calculate the resources required for different sizes of pyramid. The point was to find out if they could actually accomplish such a venture in any reasonable timeframe.

I'll let Andreas continue "As you can see from our background image, we were developing some doubts about it when we reached the third level. Meanwhile we have reached level 34."
