SuperCard Publisher's Description:
Yes you can program your own Mac! SuperCard makes it fun, easy, and rewarding for anyone to build great Macintosh software - even if you don’t know a thing about programming!
Create interfaces visually, choosing from dozens of smart controls & fields. Script the innards in a rich, powerful English-like language you’ll intuitively understand, even if you’ve never scripted before!
No compiling! Edit your application while it’s running! The built in Script Tracer lets you see exactly how projects work: step line by line, set breakpoints, change scripts and data on the fly.
No digging through manuals — syntax completion and extensible help are just a keystroke away. ClickScript automatically generates clear, commented scripts for a wide variety of tasks, so you’ll be up and running in minutes.
Even import legacy HyperCard stacks for use in Mac OS X
