HyperCard Games

Post by keliko » Tue Aug 11, 2020 7:57 pm

I was inspired by this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h92eJI33Gk
and I believe it can be done with a livecode.

can you tell what the icon for the game in the youtube video is called.
So that retro games are created.

can i get a reference where i can get these game assets?

Thanks

There's a lot shown in that video - which part do you mean when you say "it"?

I doubt there's much in HyperCard you can't do in LC (you could probably even build a pretty nice variant of HyperCard itself), but we can provide better guidance when we have a more specific idea of what you'd like to build.

I see many icons in the video. Icons are just graphics. Games take a lot more than an icon; probably a fair bit of code with most of those.

You may be able to download HyperCard stacks from various archives findable with web searches. Older versions of LC can open them directly, where you can then save them in LC format for use in the current version. Expect a lot of code modifications for the differences between HC and LC, but at least you can bring the objects and older code in easily enough.

The built-in icons from HC are available in the user example stacks, which you can get to in the LC toolbar. Then search for hypercard or icons.
