- dehrmann 7y agoIsn't PDF almost Turing-complete?
- naikrovek 7y agoPostscript definitely is.
- genpfault 7y agoI thought the whole point of PDF was to excise the Turing-completeness from Postscript.
- 2038AD 7y agoI believe at least doubly so (in addition to postscript you can embed JavaScript)
- marcuswebb 7y agoThis is correct.
- CharlesW 7y agoIt's not a crazy thought — QuickTime Movies were to be the native file format for HyperCard 3.0[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard#HyperCard_3.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard#HyperCard_3.0
- DerekL 7y agoInteractivity was added to QuickTime movies. I think this feature was called “wired actions”. I have no idea how this relates to the HyperCard integration. Apple didn't make an authoring tool for this feature, but another company did: “LiveStage” by Totally Hip.
- CharlesW 7y ago> I have no idea how this relates to the HyperCard integration. As I mentioned, QuickTime Movies were to be the file format for HyperCard 3.0 stacks, with QuickTime the HyperCard 3.0 runtime. The QuickTime team demonstrated it at WWDC in 1996. > Apple didn't make an authoring tool for this feature, but another company did: “LiveStage” by Totally Hip. The two most Flash-like tools for authoring QuickTime's interactivity capabilities were LiveStage and Electrifier Pro[1]. Additionally, several other tools (like Adobe GoLive and Terran Cleaner) supported simpler forms of interactivity. I was in Apple evangelism/developer relations then, so I was the person working with QuickTime developers on the Apple side.
