HyperCard Adventures

This appears to be using my port of the PCE emulator[1]. It&#x27;s also used on the Internet Archive, which has a collection of HyperCard stacks which you can run in the browser[2].<p>I have a short tutorial[3] for running HyperCard stacks locally which might be interesting to anyone who has some stacks lying around on their filesystem, or who just wants to play around with Mac OS 9.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jamesfriend.com.au&#x2F;pce-js&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jamesfriend.com.au&#x2F;pce-js&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;hypercardstacks" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;hypercardstacks</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jamesfriend.com.au&#x2F;running-hypercard-stack-2014" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jamesfriend.com.au&#x2F;running-hypercard-stack-2014</a>

The Psychedelic Inspiration For Hypercard<p>by Bill Atkinson, as told to Leo Laporte<p>&quot;In 1985 I swallowed a tiny fleck of gelatin containing a medium dose of LSD, and I spent most of the night sitting on a concrete park bench outside my home in Los Gatos, California.&quot; ...<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mondo2000.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;06&#x2F;18&#x2F;the-inspiration-for-hypercard&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mondo2000.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;06&#x2F;18&#x2F;the-inspiration-for-hyp...</a><p>Full interview with lots more details about the development of HyperCard:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twit.tv&#x2F;shows&#x2F;triangulation&#x2F;episodes&#x2F;247?autostart=false" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twit.tv&#x2F;shows&#x2F;triangulation&#x2F;episodes&#x2F;247?autostart=f...</a><p>Bill Atkinson&#x27;s guest lecture in Brad Meyer&#x27;s CMU 05-640 Interaction Techniques class, Spring 2019, Feb 4, 2019:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scs.hosted.panopto.com&#x2F;Panopto&#x2F;Pages&#x2F;Viewer.aspx?id=25053106-2187-4cde-9981-a9eb002aa4e8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scs.hosted.panopto.com&#x2F;Panopto&#x2F;Pages&#x2F;Viewer.aspx?id=...</a><p>Including polaroids of early Lisa development.<p>About PhotoCard:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.billatkinson.com&#x2F;aboutPhotoCard.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.billatkinson.com&#x2F;aboutPhotoCard.html</a><p>PhotoCard by Bill Atkinson is a free app available from the iTunes App store, that allows you to create custom postcards using Bill&#x27;s nature photos or your own personal photos, then send them by email or postal mail from your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.<p>Bill Atkinson, Mac software legend and world renowned nature photographer, has created an innovative application that redefines how people create and send postcards.<p>With PhotoCard you can make dazzling, high resolution postcards on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, and send them on-the-spot, through email or the US Postal Service. The app is amazingly easy to use. To create a PhotoCard, select one of Bill&#x27;s nature photos or one of your own personal photos. Then, flip the card over to type your message. For a fun touch, jazz up your PhotoCard with decorative stickers and stamps. If you&#x27;re emailing your card, it can even include an audible greeting. When you&#x27;ve finished your creation, send it off to any email or postal address in the world!

I wish that thing were screen reader accessible. People are always saying how easy it was to use and I really wantto experience it, though I sadly can&#x27;t. The only things the screen reader can see on the website are the power switch, the paperclip button, the disk number and the copyright footer.

I first learned to program with HyperCard and HyperTalk. I owe my professional career partly to it. It will always have a happy spot in my heart.

This works surprisingly well on an iPhone. Glad people are out there keeping HyperCard alive.

Are those old Mac shareware games still alive in an emulator anywhere?<p>I vaguely remember one where you battled a knight early on, and then went on to a modern battlefield... Hmm. I bet that box of 3.5-inch floppies is still sitting around somewhere.

Is this actually running in an emulated Mac?

OMG the paperclip<p>I logged hundreds of hours on HyperCard. This is wow.

First thing I wanted to do was fix the HD&#x27;s system folder so it could boot without the floppy. Hang on, there&#x27;s no System folder on the floppy!

What is this? Context?

A lot of the stacks seem to be missing?

I&#x27;m just playing GunShy now.
