EDINBURGH, UK - October 11, 2011 - RunRev Ltd, makers of the LiveCode cross-platform development environment for mobile, Web and desktop applications, introduces LiveCode 5, featuring a new high-performance graphics engine that infuses apps with stunning visual effects and gamification features. LiveCode 5 brings developers everything they need for awesome game creation on iOS devices, along with dynamic commercial applications, more visual enterprise-grade utilities, and engaging educational tools for students. By enabling developers to create software with game-play mechanics - features that drive engagement, loyalty, sharability and fun - developers are creating dynamic applications that will shape software development and be used by more than 70-percent of Global 2000 organizations by 2015.*

LiveCode was uniquely designed to give software and mobile app developers the easiest way to create applications for any platform or purpose, with the ability to write apps once and deploy to seven popular platforms - OS, Android, Web, PC, Mac, Linux and Server. LiveCode-built applications range from commercial apps created to make work and life more productive, to educational apps that engage students to enjoy learning new lessons, to software that manages the real-time flight booking systems of a major airline, and everything in between. LiveCode developers are creating mobile, desktop and Web apps twice as fast as other platforms and from a single code base.

LiveCode 5 includes more than 2000 features for robust yet surprisingly simple development projects, with pricing starting at $99, and $49 for upgrades. Developers can take advantage of the full feature-set and speed enhancements without rewriting a single application. Additional new features include:

    • Support for iOS 5: LiveCode-built iOS apps will make use of the feature set of the iPad2 and new iPhone 4S for the most current app deployment.

    • High-Performance Graphics Engine: Utilizes graphics hardware acceleration and OpenGL, animated sprites, textures and scrolling backgrounds, collision detection, vector graphics in popular formats, drop shadows, transition effects, and multi-channel audio and video.

    • Fastest App Performance: Ten times faster graphics than previous LiveCode versions.

    • In-App Purchases: Support for In-App purchases give developers revenue opportunities that account for approximately 72-percent of all revenue for iPhone apps with the option.**

    • Gamification Elements: Game design techniques and mechanics that engage users in non-game applications, such as mixing rich graphics, animation and interactivity functions with traditional interface elements such as buttons, text boxes and scrolling data grids. LiveCode uniquely enables the application of hardware-accelerated graphics within the traditional app user experience, bringing rich graphic effects to the app interface.

    • Agile Development Process: Real-time prototype creation, ability to view changes as you make them, slashes debugging time with understandable code, and significant time saving over JavaScript or Objective C.

    • Free Animation Engine: Taking full advantage of the new features in LiveCode 5, Animation Engine is a powerful third-party add-on that enables movement of objects and impressive motion effects to apps. RunRev is offering the $79 add-on free with all purchases in October.

    • Easiest to Learn and Use: Responsive and visual development system, drag-and-drop to create projects in small chunks, seamless performance with complex scrolling lists, and modern programming language.

“Our focus with the new version of LiveCode was to help developers get the job done, from simple apps that solve specific challenges to the most sophisticated development projects,” said Kevin Miller, RunRev CEO. “We’ve packed more than 2000 features into LiveCode 5, and kick apps into high gear with visual effects, gamified features that engage users, and social elements for productivity or fun. LiveCode 5 blends a unique mix of ease and speed with productivity and engagement, ensuring that whatever app is required, LiveCode will get it done and save a significant amount of time in the process.”

RunRev Brings Cross-Device Mobile App Development to Android; Survey Results Show LiveCode Saved an Average of 51 Days of Development Time, or 47 Percent Over Traditional Environments

SAN JOSE, Calif. – April 26, 2011 – One out of every three new phones sold in the US is an Android-based device. As Android continues to grow in popularity, developers recognize the importance of developing for both iOS and Android, and also how to stay competitive by completing and submitting quality apps quickly. With this in mind, RunRev Ltd today announced the fastest way to create iOS and Android apps from one code base through the general availability of LiveCode for Android (following the release of LiveCode for iOS in late 2010). And the benefits of LiveCode stretch far beyond its cross-device capabilities, saving developers hundreds of hours or nearly two months in development time.

 The results of a new RunRev survey of 670 developers show that they saved 51 days of development time using LiveCode over Java and Objective-C, while one-third of all projects simply would not have been viable without LiveCode. Following are some of the comments from LiveCode developers on their experiences creating apps:

• “LiveCode is very easy to use and learn. I created my first Android application in just four days without prior knowledge of LiveCode.”
• “This tool is so intuitive and at such a high level that it tackles major projects with ease without the requirement of the learning curve of Objective C or even BASIC.”
• “If it weren't for LiveCode I would have had to use two different programming platforms to deliver my solution. Other cross platform tools were simply lacking significantly in functionality. LiveCode made it a breeze.”
• “With traditional coding practices, the project would have been abandoned.”
• “Very rapid application development AND upgraded features made it easier with LiveCode than (what would have been) possible with C/C++/Basic/Java.”
• “This was my first project using LiveCode, I would probably not have done the project if I had to use Java or VB.”

Starting from $99 (£79), LiveCode for Android continues the long tradition of easy to use, feature-rich development software that enables individuals to create stunning apps for multiple platforms and devices. Whether developers are just starting out in mobile app development, or are seasoned software creators, LiveCode gives them the power to:

• Create apps from one code base that run on every major device and platform, while taking advantage of the many OS-specific features on each device.
• Realize commercial opportunities quickly by supporting today’s fastest growing platforms.
• Use an iterative, compile-free coding environment to view changes in real time, resulting in significant productivity gains.
• Access a high-level language, with English-like syntax for writing code that makes sense.
• Create active prototypes, stunning rich-media cross-device apps, and powerful productivity apps for in-house use.

Starting at $99, the new LiveCode for iOS lets software developers create full-featured applications for deployment to the App Store using a tool that works across every major computing platform—mobile, Web, PC, Mac, Linux and server. The new iOS Deployment Pack is a part of the LiveCode development platform, which includes individual solutions for desktop and Web development, multiple users and other requirements.

As a cross-platform development solution, LiveCode for iOS allows developers to use the same code to deploy to multiple mobile platforms, while taking advantage of the many OS-specific features on each device. The LiveCode Deployment Pack for iOS offers tremendous productivity gains over other solutions when developing mobile apps. Specific advantages include:

• Create stunning rich-media apps for distribution to the App Store;
• Build powerful enterprise, IT and business productivity apps for in-house use;
• Create active prototypes for exploring and designing using full-functional apps;
• Use an iterative development environment to view changes in real time;
• Leverage a high-level language, for writing code that makes sense;
• Reuse code to write applications once and deploy across multiple platforms and devices.

"LiveCode for iOS is an easy yet powerful alternative to Objective-C or MonoTouch as it enables development of fully-featured apps in a fraction of the time as other tools," said Kevin Miller, chief executive officer of RunRev. "With the number of iOS developers and demand for applications increasing daily, there is tremendous competition to create high-quality apps for App Store distribution. LiveCode delivers the quality and speed necessary for developers to create exceptional applications quickly either for sale or in-house use."

"We had done some work in Objective-C and even used tools to allow us to program in HTML-5 and JavaScript," said RunRev customer Tim Bobo of Left Brain Media.  "But I found the editing and testing process to be more intuitive and streamlined with LiveCode. The LiveCode team has also impressed me with the speed at which they are adding features and updates. I really think this tool could be a game changer."
