Script handlers for messages:
on <message> <parameterList>       function <message>
                                   (<parameterList>) {
    [ <scriptLine> ]*

<string>                           /"[^"]*"/
messages are sent to parts, cards, backgrounds, and stacks
<message> is mouseDown, mouseStillDown, mouseUp, openField,
closeField, openCard, and anything else you write.
The targets can catch them in script handlers. If not caught they are
sent down the message path to their containing cards and backgrounds,
and then the stack. Handlers can respond to both user-generated
messages as well as ones you call yourself.

-- These handlers are available to any WildCard script. -- Handlers
accept parameters and can return a value on square y return y times y
end square -- You can use JavaScript in handlers function sqrt n
return Math.sqrt(n); end sqrt function random n return Math.floor
(Math.random()*n) + 1; end random function date return new Date
().toUTCString(); end date -- Send messages from Javascript with
wildcard.do('beep') or just wildcard.Beep(); on do lineOfScript put
"on run" & return & lineOfScript & return & "end run" into handler
return new Script(null, _.handler).run(); end do function value
scriptExpression put "on run" & return & "return" && scriptExpression
& return & "end run" into handler return new Script(null,
_.handler).run(); end value on put message put_into_messagebox
(message, true); end put on beep count for (var i=1; (count||1)>=i;
i++) setTimeout(perform_system_beep,350*(i-1)); end beep on help go

Thank you Bill Atkinson and others for inspiration. HyperCard was/is
software under Apple's copyright and this is just a pretty good
homage.

Yellow card text
Here is a yellow card! Why not add some text to me?
And, did you know, you can share your work with others?   Here is a
green card!
                             "WildCard"

I made this in my spare time with apologies to the creators of
HyperCard, to see how it would be on the modern web.

A HyperCard stack is like a pack of note cards that can be flipped
through but stay in order. You can add or remove cards from your
stack.

Each card can have button and field parts; to edit them, choose the
appropriate tool, then drag and resize them. You make new ones by
dragging a box with the command key.

HyperCard auto-saved your work in the background. Since everything is
online now, you can make an account and share your work from .
Navigate through the stack with the buttons on the left or the arrow
keys. Create a new card with .

The authoring tools are above the stack. To make a button part or a
field part, switch to the appropriate tool.

Command-drag to create a new part, then drag it around the card
(resize it by dragging the lower right corner). Double-click the part
to change its properties.

In any tool, you can hold down Command-Option to show the outlines of
all parts, and click to edit.
Painting can be done right on the cards. Just grab a pencil or a
paint bucket and get creative with the black and white patterns.

Scripting wasn't necessary for most, but the key to learning
scripting is to scroll down to the WildCard script. You can see
everything that's going on, and the message box accepts WildCard
script with no judgment.

dance!"
You can access the Script Editor by pressing in the Information
dialog, or holding down Shift while you double-click or
Command-Option-click.

Scripts catch messages sent by the user, and can perform actions such
as beeping or going to the next card, in message handlers like this
one:

on mouseUp
  beep
  go next card
end mouseUp
