SuperCard Drawing Demo

[cmclane]

I think I recall that when one of the early versions of SuperCard was released there was a simple Drawing app on the disk as one of the demo projects. (It may have been developed by Bill Appleton himself, but I'm not sure about that.) Does anyone know if a copy of that demo project is still available somewhere?

It was actually an old style standalone named SampleDraw. I have resurrected it from the archives and converted it to a SuperCard project. Unfortunately it is using a lot of SuperTalk keywords as variable names and that is no longer allowed, so there are lots of script errors you'll run into.

But here it is nevertheless. BTW, I have enclosed the original standalone version as well, but you'll need to run a "Classic" version of MacOS to launch it.

Thanks Scott. I appreciate you finding this AND converting it because I'm not sure I will be able to find a classic Mac OS install somewhere to run the standalone on (although I am realizing now how helpful it would be to see the project actually functioning as I try to fix it). 

I have already found simple instances where variable names are obviously keywords (e.g. "min" and "max"). Is there a master list of SC keywords somewhere as a text file that I could have open as I work my way through the various scripts in the project? I think examining and trying to clean up the scripts is going to be a really good SuperTalk refreshing, and learning, opportunity for me.

I don't think there is a list, but there is an isReservedWord function.
