That would be a challenge.
Back in the heyday of expert systems and original Mac’s, I did an expert system in Hypercard. Not really production worthy. But interesting from perspective of exploring UI.
- fit2rule 8y agoStill got it somewhere? I've got a project to demonstrate a bunch of Hypercard stacks in a retro-computing context, and it'd be definitely interesting to see, in the case that you'd consider finding it and sharing it ...
- dbcurtis 8y agoOh gosh.... that was so many years ago. I suspect I could never find the floppy, assuming I haven't chucked it. All I can remember about it is that it was structured to ask the user one query per card, and there was some kind of global function that kept the state of the consultation and navigated to the next card. The expert system that I implemented was a simple toy, because the point was to explore the UI aspects. For instance, you could easily embed images and ask "Click the image that most closely resembles your specimen." Stuff like that, intermixed with traditional text queries.
- fit2rule 8y agoWell, it was worth the try .. sounds interesting though! There's a resurgent interest in Hypercard these days .. if you ever get the druthers to go look for your old stack, I'm sure it'll be of interest to some of us. :)
