Old Bent Nose

Daxeria — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 05:27:38 +0000

This game combines concentration with tic-tac-toe: you claim X's or O's in pairs by matching the hidden icons. Clicking the title character will cost you your turn and send him scurrying behind a different tile.

HyperAnimator

JonathanNemo — Thu, 14 Aug 2014 21:53:02 +0000

Application file:

HyperAnimator_1.5.2.sit

Text-to-speech HyperCard stack with the ability to control an animated face, inspired by Apple's "Knowledge Navigator" video.

This stack allows you to define a few phonemes for each face, and the software extends that to provide lip movements for any sequence of characters in the ASCII character set. Further extensions and control over precision in lip syncing can be managed through a scripting language called RAVEL, defined in the documentation.

Very comprehensive documentation, release notes, and product catalogs are included in the manual archive, as Acrobat 2 compatible PDF files.
