Re: Flappy bird clone takes = 9 hours in Swift
Scott McDonald from http://livecodegamedeveloper.com/index.html could provide the definitive answer, but your guess of 4 hours or more is accurate for an experienced LiveCode developer.

Re: Flappy bird clone takes = 9 hours in Swift
Ah, I forgot something really important: Like Video Players, all Games are greedy by nurture. They want/need all hardware resources available to perform better. Does LiveCode have this behavior? Could LiveCode grab all hardware resources available to perform better in a game?

I wonder if it would be a good platform for developing Xtras.

Apparently it was 9 hours with some interruptions.
