Thank you, Andrew, I’ll take a look at that!

If you want to satisfy your HyperCard cravings, there's also the
HyperCard Online Project at https://archive.org/details/hypercardstacks
(disclaimer: I proposed and maintain the project), a collection of
nearly 3,500 stacks all ready to be run in a web browser. The technology
is derived from

HC import has been broken since the LC 7 rewrite but it still works in LC
version 6.x. So you need to open the HC stack in LC 6, save it, and then
open it in LC 9.
You may get some errors that are easy to fix. The most common errors are
unquoted literals and using reserved words as variable
at it. I’ll publish a brief description of the project in case anybody should
have a comment.

Under your friendly pressure I have decided to try LC on one of those stacks,

OK, it seems that I must give it a try. What LC-version should I use?

What about those small but important HC stacks causes them not to run in
LiveCode? What errors do you get?

Hi Ingar,
The only reason I can see for wanting HC again
is if you have tons and tons of old HC stacks
that you really need to be able to run without
having to do the work of turning them in to LC stacks.
If that isn’t the case for you, then I wouldn’t waste
the time. LC is the all grown-up
So well said! I love this.

Yet one more take.
Years ago, when I first started LC, I still mainly used HC for business and
pleasure. I still do.
I was one of those die-hard nostalgia types that accepted LC, but all the
while stubbornly stuck to, and extolled, my HC roots. Revolutionaries die
hard.
I regularly update and
Yes, I have "done", and in so doing I asked myself some pretty warped
questions,
of which the signal one was, "What on earth am I doing this for when the
LiveCode
IDE can be simplified sufficiently to exclude all developments post
version 7 anyway?"

There is also
https://jamesfriend.com.au/pce-js/
that lets you have retro pc's (IBM/Atari/Mac) in the browser.
The MacPlus could be enhanced to have the full latest HyperCard
available.

I’ll join this chorus as well and add that LC has become what I had hoped
Hypercard would become back in the day. LC is Hypercard on steroids! If your
goal is to simplify LC, then do as I believe Richmond has already done, and
build a simplified (limited) tool palette in LiveCode and call it

(4) Why not make a rather complete LC HTML5 standalone?
It could have an optional "retro-look"
I concur with the other replies so far.
LiveCode is HyperCard. If you want to limit yourself to only cards,
fields, and buttons, just do so. You can do pretty much everything
HyperCard did: create a stack of multiple cards; place buttons and
fields on cards; draw on cards; navigate between
I learnt a lot from HyperCard in 1993 . . . when watching my 6 month
year old son.
However, my son is now working his way towards his 27th birthday, and
does not need
the sort of attention from me that he needed then.
LiveCode IS, to all intents and purposes, HyperCard, in much the same
way
What specific attributes of HC would you want to facilitate? Why would you want
to make a cut down version of LC which is essentially HC with modern features
(and cross platform)? I’m failing to see the benefits to students/users over
using LC directly.

As someone who last year sold all my PPC Mac Minis that ran HyperCard, I’d
suggest that you either get a version of Mac OS 9 running in a simulator, and
run the real HyperCard, or switch to Livecode in all its glory.
Trying to build a limited version of Livecode, that mimics HyperCard, seems
Hi, all of you!
Twice I have asked through this list for help to get an idea about how much it
would cost «to make HC great again», that is, to facilitate its use by means of
an LC-app. I may not succeed in getting a Norwegian sponsor, but again I might.
But certainly not without an approximate
