Edition (DPE) IDE , which is a fork of LCCE GitHub of OXT DPE: https://github.com/OpenXTalk-org/OpenXtalk-IDE-DontPanicEdition https://github.com/OpenXTalk-org/OpenXtalk-IDE-DontPanicEdit... Other download links are to another fork, OpenXTalk Lite Edition (OXT Lite), which seems to have recently been rebranded to "tIDE." tIDE Homepage: https://www.tsites.co.uk/sites/other/other.php https://www.tsites.co.uk/sites/other/other.php EDIT: LiveCode, not Live Code.
- digitalsankhara 2y agoThank you for this. It lives! I will try these forks out. Don't you just love open source!
