HyperCard Community?
Posted by: Admiral Ackbar on 2024-04-30 10:49:41
Hi all. Looking for a place (or former place that is searchable) with discussions on HyperCard stacks and development. I'm particularly looking for a way to read a GIF that is bytes in a text file to display, but need to do a lot of lurk-learning as well. I did find http://www.jaedworks.com/hypercard/resources.html (using wayback machine for the now-dead links) but am looking for more.

Thanks!

There's a semi active Discord server https://discord.gg/TAvA6TauZB I found it at the nice https://hypercard.org/ site. I bet some people there would be able to point you in the right direction.

If you're starting out with HyperCard, there is a vast XCMD collection made by F Rinaldi, some of which have been updated over time to support later Mac OS versions even.


In case the site ever goes down in the future, I believe the set was uploaded to Macintosh Garden here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/frederic-rinaldi-hypercard-xfcn-and-xcmd-complete-collection

By the way, if you’re looking to run Discord on certain “legacy” Mac systems, there’s this handy little thing.
