Bloggity blog post on my next game. "Death on the Orient Star".
When I used it on my Mac SE, I created a one-sided very crude facsimile of a quarter, and then slowly rotated it while taking screenshots, and then created a #HyperCard stack to animate it. ;)
My parents were over the moon for my little hack. XD

while researching the history of amanda goodenough's Inigo Gets Out, i stumbled upon this 1990 beeb documentary on Hypertext and multimedia, hosted by Douglas Adams himself. there's something wonderfully aspirational about it: it imagines how curiosity can be deepened through hyperlinked media. (if you've used early 90s edutainment or multimedia encyclopedias, it is unbelievably accurate in its prediction/depiction)
and best of all: there is an interview with amanda herself at 36:15! afaik, it might be the only recorded interview with amanda and inigo that survives today.

Hyperland is a 50-minute long documentary film about hypertext and surrounding technologies. It was written by Douglas Adams and produced and directed...
whenever I think about perfect interfaces for kids, two games immediately come to mind: Myst, and Amanda Goodenough’s Inigo Gets Out - both were hypercard stacks
maybe it’s time i refocused my efforts on making Exigy (https://exigy.org) kid-friendly enough that, with a little parental handholding, a kiddo could make their own Goodenough-like adventure.
but what would that UI look like? 🤔

#apple just should open source #hypercard so someone on the interwebz can built a proper new client which is 100% backwards compatible to still existing stacks.
is apple even on mastodon or are they still sitting in the shithole that is called X formerly known as twitter?
Working on UI tweaks to my VOID adventure game. I’ve been adjusting some icons based on feedback and would love to hear your opinions on a few variations!
