Hi everyone -<br><br>I once built a HyperCard implementation in LivelyKernel myself, which<br>can be found here:<br>http://lively-kernel.org/repository/webwerkstatt/projects/BP2012/IPadPresentationPages/Hypercard.xhtml<br>.<br>Initially this was supposed to be a demo implementation to see how<br>good LivelyKernel works on iPad - or more how well our progress on<br>bringing LivelyKernel to the iPad is going (I'm part of a bachelors<br>project which implements collaborative and mobile features). However,<br>thinking about the functionality of the background, it kind of ended<br>up in implementing morph diffing and merging for the PartsBin, which<br>is still WIP...<br><br>- Astrid<br><br>On 2 May 2012 21:49, Casey ransberger <<a ymailto="mailto:casey.obrien.r@gmail.com" href="mailto:casey.obrien.r@gmail.com">casey.obrien.r@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>> HyperCard, for every computer.
