I released a new Stacks version that fixes a couple of Shift-JIS encoding bugs I noticed in Emora Kart. Seems to run plausibly well. Also added the ability to extract stacks from inside HFS images to make it easier to get at the goodies.<br/><br/>There&#39;s still something off with Hanafuda though -- need to poke at this one a bit more.<br/><br/> <img src="https://files.bitbang.social/media_attachments/files/117/096/280/661/620/446/original/e8b42e88c5146889.png"> 2026-08-14T22:51:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv9pk6wh038ts5azlmyvp7mhv9y8uw2ujlxehuawaehk3wfzmkhnszyqeqxsf7y8n5pcgurnfsmyjlwkwvcpv5c3d2ntrfxpxcrmtzrjhfcan2tek In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2gu9ukpl87y9f9rk27lfkqgeqk3zrq9577qt654tpfnj8jkxv2aspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qjv3vc6'>nevent1q…3vc6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqtjpnx6fs3j3l07xxhugdqlsshwys64wqvpeph3hspnyt6h625zvqckxf2f" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqtjpnx6fs3j3l07xxhugdqlsshwys64wqvpeph3hspnyt6h625zvqckxf2f</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…xf2f</span>)</a></span> Wow, thanks!

So glad to finally attend!<br/><br/>One item that caught my eye was this 1985 issue of Creative Computing for sale at the book stand. &#34;3-D fractals on my micro? Yes please!&#34;<br/><br/>My jaw dropped when I opened the article to find, essentially, the Mountains screensaver from More After Dark, along with source for the algorithm in 3 languages! This must have looked bad-ass on a TRS-80 or Apple II at the time.<br/><br/>Best $1 purchase ever!<br/><br/> <img src="https://files.bitbang.social/media_attachments/files/117/039/672/285/468/152/original/5238bcc08817cf19.png"> <br/> <img src="https://files.bitbang.social/media_attachments/files/117/039/672/947/316/270/original/bcb98341b3b83ac7.png"> <br/> <img src="https://files.bitbang.social/media_attachments/files/117/039/673/381/810/674/original/c65a0b6503f32d91.png"> <br/> <img src="https://files.bitbang.social/media_attachments/files/117/039/700/580/270/494/original/d3da4524b031c552.png"> 2026-08-04T22:55:38Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsywksyka6hk27m6ywrnw6t8q83r9qvqgespxv4mzsace4p79yzp3czyqeqxsf7y8n5pcgurnfsmyjlwkwvcpv5c3d2ntrfxpxcrmtzrjhfc98y3rz I&#39;ve released Stacks v1.0a17 with many compatibility fixes, with a focus on working through problems in the fascinating &#34;HyperCard 10th Anniversary&#34; stack from the Internet Archive. <br/><br/>What an amazing time capsule of Apple&#39;s history this thing is. Card 2 says that among others, the stack was presented to &#34;Steve Jobs, Acting CEO&#34; in late 1997. I can only imagine his enthusiasm!<br/><br/>It&#39;s also an absolute flex: animations, music, colors, speech, drag and drop. Not 100% working yet, but progress.<br/><br/> <img src="https://files.bitbang.social/media_attachments/files/116/931/111/786/369/785/original/3cc489396c12fd02.png"> <br/> <img src="https://files.bitbang.social/media_attachments/files/116/931/115/421/387/249/original/e240821fa9d849f3.png"> <br/> <img src="https://files.bitbang.social/media_attachments/files/116/931/117/356/511/494/original/0ad04a01f515a876.png"> <br/> <img src="https://files.bitbang.social/media_attachments/files/116/931/123/197/501/421/original/2cc7d8c10c7c3b57.png"> 2026-07-16T18:44:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyrkk64k728vuwmvpt5c9ny03f9ulq8cx2es3tdzplt4xdzl48s0qzyqeqxsf7y8n5pcgurnfsmyjlwkwvcpv5c3d2ntrfxpxcrmtzrjhfcrjyl52 I&#39;m floored by all of the HyperCard enthusiasm out there!
