Hypercard was what I first started developing on back when I was young. Great to see it come to life again. Javascript instead of Hypertalk though... ;)

- cortesoft 12y agoMe too! (Well I started first in basic, but HyperCard was where I did my real first programming) I made so many crazy games in HyperCard. I had no idea what I was doing either; I had countless hidden fields that I used to store data, serialized with my own custom format. I loved it though. So much fun!
- djdrzzy 12y agoMy biggest 'magic' moment in hypercard was this technique called one-card animation that I copied out of some book. It was basically a script to direct the lasso tool to select an area on the screen, then slowly drag it across the screen. Having it work seemed magical in that I had told the computer what to do and it listened. Been hooked on making software ever since!
- cortesoft 12y agoYour magic moment reminded me of my first one (although a much less exciting one than yours!) I was 7 years old and reading my first BASIC programming book... I read how to use a PRINT statement, and ran into my parents room exclaiming how I could print something to the screen! I have been hooked ever since.
