(Try to describe HyperTalk. This might be wrong, my last encounter with HyperCard was too long ago.) |

[[ppr:HyperTalk|HyperTalk]] was the proprietary scripting language from Apple's [[ppr:HyperCard|HyperCard]]. This language is the ancestor of [[AppleScript]]. |

HyperCard and HyperTalk come from the era of the black-and-white Macintosh. HyperTalk scripts are plain text, but embedded inside some stack. A ''HyperCard stack'' is the user interface to a HyperTalk program. Each stack appears in a window and displays one card from the stack. A card might include text, images, hyperlinks to other cards, and interactive buttons. These stacks look obsolete because of the small size of each card, and the black and white graphics. |

HyperCard only works with Mac OS Classic, and Apple stopped selling copies. HyperCard's surviving relatives include [http://www.supercard.us/ SuperCard] and [http://www.runrev.com/developers/lessons-and-tutorials/moving-to-rev/hypercard/ LiveCode]. |
