OK Devin:
Your call for internet enabled stacks inspired me to dust off
something I made starting in 1999 with metacard. I had a day off at
the ocean and took time to "play" and bring these up to speed.
You can find it in my user space in Rev Online or just go
go stack url "http://www.himalayanacademy.com/studyhall/hakey.rev";
in the msg box.
It's components are
hakey.rev
This is "splasher-downloader" stack that one might build into a
stand alone. The concept is this stack never needs updating.
The above one is what you would start your demo with... note the
randomly downloaded background picture...
haportal.rev
The above stack downloads this one, which is the main index, a small
set of online stacks.
disclaimer: I am not a programmer or a UI designer... I know I have
made a lot or aweful blunders in the UI here that I am not even aware
of... so you can tell your audience... "this was build by someone
who has no training in programming and only knows one language...
xTalk, completely self-taught" Of course it helps to have been
playing with xTalk since the day we unpacked our first macs in '83
or was it 86? tinkerer that I was and still am the second thing I
did after turning that thing on was to boot hypercard... that was
it, joyfully swallowed hook line and sinker ....
Constructive criticism welcome... surprisingly, after 7 years, this
whole concept is still very solid. I just never had time to pursue it
much... as there's so much pressure to do everything inside
browsers... but that is changing.
have fun... if you find anything that needs fixing let me know!
glaring gap in this whole model: there is no updating functions...
and everything is build on the concept that the stack is downloaded
on line each time. POINT: this model means the developers (teachers)
update stacks on the web server and the next access updates the
users. There is no sophisticated "Magic Carpet" mechanism... here...
and there probably needs to be, at least minimally, for the HAKEY.rev
stack that drives everything...
Of course users can save stacks to their hard drive, but I removed
for the "Open modules locally" from the interface for now...

Richard,
I can run the digital maps stacks in Rev IDE, but they don't seem
to load properly (the windows open, but are blank) from my launcher
app (uses just a simple 'go stack url...'). Is there something I am
doing wrong?
Can reactor lab be run from a launcher app, or does it require the
Reactor_Lab.app?
