@UberGoober - a long tiime ago a wrapper for Codea was made which allowed you to do the reverse - run Codea on a PC . It was updated for a while but, with all the changes in Love2D, it became out of date and no longer supported. I updated it a little at one stage but it soon got beyond me. Shame, it was handy for prototyping on a PC.

Latest WebRepo doesn’t work, just crashes, size is only 139k.
Downloading 2.3.1 from Git hub, does run, size is 811k!
Only problem is submit asks to update, but update has errors and doesn’t work.
Don’t see any library!
Please help…

Hey @Phd, I assume you’re not using the Codea beta? The App Store version has an issue that was fixed in the beta Codea versions: WebRepo keeps crashing?

As for the size, 2.4.0 introduced some pretty substantial backend changes which means the majority of the code is downloaded (and cached) at runtime which means I can perform seamless updates. 2.3.x is pretty old at this point so I’d suggest using the beta or downloading things directly via the web interface: https://codeawebrepo.co.uk

Hopefully this works out for you but let me know if you have further issues

@sim Any chance we could expect an update on the App Store soon? This has cropped up a few times recently. Thanks!

Phd · September 23, 2023, 9:21pm

Thanks, yes I’m using the store version, is it safe to use the beta version, it says I may lose all projects if I install over existing, or can it sit alongside, I’ve had trouble in the past when using beta versions of apps, so a bit wary!

Steppers · September 23, 2023, 9:24pm

@Phd I can’t say I’ve had issues swapping between the beta and the App Store version. I did so a few times in the last week with no issue.

You don’t lose anything when you update Codea. It doesn’t matter if you use the store version or the beta version.

Will prioritize this. Got bogged down on working on a different feature (removing Dropbox) but will shelve it to get the update out.

R - 1.0.4 is now available.

Description: R Language in Codea

Added ‘eval’ helper function.
Graphics/Plots are drawn automatically by default.

Is there a reason WebRepo only shows the “latest updates” previews as a simple list now, with only one to a line, instead of using a staggered design with previews of varying sizes on the same line, as it shows in the icon?

Not to be a noodge but the old way you had it looked cooler to me.

Steppers · September 24, 2023, 3:37pm

@UberGoober What device? Portrait or landscape? Splitscreen?
The staggering should still be there but it adjusts to the screen dimensions to fit.

UberGoober · September 24, 2023, 6:07pm

Ah so it is! I was running it on my iPad, but in windowed mode, so it didn’t occur to me that the screen width was smaller than it usually is. Sorry! Carry on, don’t mind me…
