Hi, Martin.
Somewhat off on a tangent... Do I recall correctly that you designed a Tangram HyperCard stack that was published in _Cool Mac Stacks_? I designed a HyperCard magic stack called "Warlock" back in the 1980's. Then I switched over to HyperStudio because of the ease of using color in the stacks, plus there was a way of making the stacks work on the web using special html codes. "Warlock" included some animated effects like a moving pip card to reveal a chosen card. I think there were other HyperCard magic tricks from other magicians over the years. I was sad to see HyperCard become extinct and miss it immensely. There seemed to be a movement to make HyperCard QuickTime-based, but I don't think that ever got off the ground. I am still a Mac user, although for the school system I worked for I had to eventually learn the Windows OS and switch from HyperCard and HyperStudio to PowerPoint. There were some interesting things that could be done with PowerPoint using VBA--Visual Basic for Applications. But I don't think it was ever as versatile or powerful as either HyperCard or HyperStudio. Have you done anything new magic-related with interactive computer projects? ----- Amado "Sonny" Narvaez P.S. I eventually re-did Warlock in HTML and with animated gifs but haven't gotten around to posting it to a web server yet.

Hi Amado,
Wow! The last question in the world I expected. Oddly enough I was lamenting the loss of Hypercard only recently. I certainly had a great time creating Tangrams. I also created a stack that cast the Viking Runes and gave a reading. I called it the "Norse Code" stack. (Yeah, I know.) That was also published somewhere... I haven't done any interactive stuff recently although I did start to learn to write iPhone Apps in Xcode but done nothing with it. I would like to see Warlock, let me know if you get it online. -Martin |
