Ren'Py Hypercard Framework

What is this?

This framework includes everything you need to start making a Hypercard game in Ren'Py. Included is:

• Custom code for the Main Menu, Save/Load, Preferences, ADV-mode, and more
• Images for the UI, a Photoshop template to create your own background images, and an icon set
• Classic Apple typeface Chicago
• Mac System 7 sounds

You do not need to know any coding to get started and everything is completely customizable to your needs, but if you're new to Ren'Py check out the Quickstart Guide.

What is Hypercard?

Hypercard was an application platform and programming tool originally created by Bill Atkinson for Apple in 1987. It featured database capabilities, a modifiable GUI, and an easy to learn scripting language called Hypertalk. Hypercard was wildly successful and was used for a range of purposes, especially graphical adventure games, and popularized hypertext and hypermedia. Hypercard was discontinued by Apple in 2004 and is no longer supported on current Mac operating systems.
