Wow! The graphics for the freeCard site look nice!
Oh, whet is the correct spelling (i think anyway).
Question:
Who would like to develop a variable watcher and message watcher? That should
be among our goals. I tried importing the XCMD from hyperCard to metaCard. Not
surprisingly, it did not work.
I think that both these tools are really nice for complicated development.
True mc 'precompiles' (or whatever) scripts so that it is tougher to make a
programming error than in hc, but script errors do happen, and it is really
nice to be able to watch global variables.
hmm, come to think of it i maybe could do a script for a variable watcher
stack... but how would we do a message watcher?
Ideally both would be in xTalk rather than in C because XCMD's are not cross
platform. (incidently cross worlds has some demo xcmd's which are both windows
and macos compatible...)
Otherwise progress on improving graphic aspects of the gui continues. Please
look at the proposed properties stack? (I hope/presume it was uploaded?) There
is a uniform coloring and position scheme so I think that it will be easier to
find the buttons...
Also, commandKey + optionKey + double click opens an objects script. Makes
eating oysters easier...
Oh, the computer lab is open ! am happy.
