We have reached the first goal, and are only $500 away from reaching the second goal! This means we'll soon be able to import HC stacks. I am grateful for the support for the project. With the second goal ViperCard will be able to create fields and buttons dynamically, import custom fonts, and rotate + transform text/graphics.

- New feature: a "message box" has been added, for quickly experimenting with code. ViperCard's message box was redesigned to separate input and output. You can enter multiple statements by using semi-colons, use the up and down arrow keys to recall history, and use modern Cmd+A, Cmd+Left, Cmd+Delete keyboard shortcuts. Show the message box by pressing Cmd+M or from the Go menu.

- Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Brave, and Vivaldi are supported.

- Three new tutorial videos added to the Help menu.

- Minor improvements: double-click eraser tool to clear paint, pressing Tab in the script editor runs auto-indentation, a parser improvement to reduce number of parentheses needed in certain constructs.

-Ben

The message box is fantastic, Ben. Great playground for refamiliarizing myself with commands, building expressions...

Really appreciate the Safari support. Feels like it's getting closer on iPad. Maybe next step would be making the entire inside of the element draggable (rather than particular corners) - that'd help on desktop, too.

Also might need to zoom in further on mobile platforms / start with a larger window / smaller "bezel".
