HyperCard open source


RunRev's "Community Edition" of HyperCard is now available for download.

RunRev is prone to hype and has a rep for poor support, so caveat emptor !

This grew out of a KickStarter ( yes, kick-starting HyperCard — so as I said …

Note: this is now multi-platform HyperCard under the moniker "LiveCode".

Note : with RunRev nothing is ever as it seems : you must register to run this "open source" "community edition".

Poor support item picked at random : StackOverflow complaint ; the web abounds in such exasperated customers over the years. You may also want to add a rule to the mail account used to register so as to send the hype-mail to the bit-bucket.

Their former personas include
The LiveCode programming language (formerly the "Revolution" programming language) is a commercial cross-platform rapid application development language.
Formerly MetaCard formerly HyperCard ( which still belongs to Apple ?)

On this date the StackOver page at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/livecode has less than 30 items ( but is used in high schools - the live source of all newbie do-my-homework-willya questions ?)
