I cut my programming teeth on HyperCard long ago. Nowadays screens are bigger and better, but the stacks are still the same size!

I made HyperCardSimulator.com over a period of about two months of free time. The project shows off a number of wonderfully intuitive things about HyperCard, from the simple stack-of-cards architecture, to the readable english-like script visibly defined in BNF. I've implemented some basic painting, authoring, and scripting tools that should feel very familiar.

It features free accounts (absolutely no PI whatsoever) that let you share your stacks with the public...and if you have HyperCard stacks on your disk, I implemented a converter that allows you to upload them and use them on the page! A few sample stacks are included.

Ideally, everything should work the same as it once did. I'm quickly adding more elements of the original scripting language, which is certainly quite easy to do when backed by Javascript.

I'm very proud of this project's potential, and I also want to thank hypercard.org for providing some compatibility resources. Happy stacking!
