Okay folks, some of you were actually alive and using computers when #hypercard was a thing.
Tell me about your hypercard memories.
Did you make weird games or hypertext novels? Are any of them still out there? What were your favorites?
(I'm working on a thing, I need info.)
@ajr I used it in ninth grade to try to create a jungle choose-your-own-adventure/FPS, where I'd hide invisible buttons where you were supposed to shoot. each card took forever and the difficulty level was very low. It was a cool program though!
The zoom-In function where you could draw things pixel-by-pixel was my jam.
@fobo That's super neat! Do you still have it?
@ajr sadly, no. There's an extremely small chance there's a set of floppies back in my parent's crawlspace with it, but I strongly doubt it.
@fobo I'm hearing that all too often when I talk to folks.
I'm getting a lot of "I made cool stuff and felt accomplished" and even some "I made a thing that all my friends loved" but no one has them anymore.
I'm not sure I could figure out how to make the stacks work, even if they weren't lost to the sands of time or whatever.
