I’ve been working on an obscure #HyperCard feature as of late. You can support multiple language translations for #HyperTalk with a WTRN resource. A Wildtalk Translator.
The only reference I’ve found is in HyperTalk 2.2 The Book. There is Mac Pascal source code for two examples.

Learned something new today. I didn't know in #HyperTalk for #HyperCard 2.4.1 you could use "answer folder" to ask the user to select a folder. It must have been added after the 2.2 reference I'm using.

I recently got a massive haul of vintage computers... that were mostly all moldy. Here's a short showing a few including a couple PS/2s (model 50z and 60). I really don't understand this considering they are not really corroded. Warning: nasty! youtube.com/shorts/XA0fG...

Researching my next game and ran across a similar one from 1997. The Last Express. A rotoscoped point-and-click murder on the Orient Express style game. I’ll have to give it a play.

Well, I jinxed myself with overconfidence. This short documents my fight with the Quadra 650 logic board.

Regarding Free Speech
Free speech is not just about the right to say what one wants. It is also about being conscientious in thinking, learning, and discussion toward the pursuit of truth.

It's been a while, I overhauled my link.tree with categories to my web stuff, w/ my coding projects repo (Macintosh and F256K2). I also launched a merch threadless store, there's a brand t-shirt and that silly Ultima VII t-shirt I always wanted, haha.

Aside from a boxed copy of @ericsedge.com's game, the only thing I bought at #VCFMW was this mouse cover mouse crocheted by a nice lady
She was excited to inform me that next year they will have little pink noses
