I’m over here pining for Apple to give the revival treatment to HyperCard with iOS as a “Stack” target, so my kids can make apps for the iPad and share them with their friends.
- WillAdams 3y agoThat would be ideal. I was hoping that Livecode (formerly known as "Runtime Revolution") would become that --- there's now an opensource fork --- maybe that will make it possible?
- beagle3 3y agoYou should really take a look at https://beyondloom.com/decker/ https://beyondloom.com/decker/ - It has a web implementation (so, usable everywhere including iOS), and an SDL implementation. It captures the original HyperCard spirit better than anything Apple would release today. The language is not HyperTalk or AppleTalk - it's a mix between Lua and APL, which is about as readable but much nicer to write. And if you find this interesting, look for the ArrayCast podcast episode where they interview John Earnest about Decker (and the associated language, Lil). IIRC, there are two episodes where John is interviewed, and this is the 2nd of them.
