这个项目精心复原了苹果经典HyperCard软件中的剪贴画,HyperCard是一个开创性的超媒体系统,对Web的发展产生了深远影响。作者费力地从“Art Bits”素材集中提取了超过700张单独的图像——这是HyperCard附带的示例合集,展示了苹果即使在双色调限制下的设计能力。 这些图形现在以优化后的PNG文件形式提供,总大小不到300kb,并被分为野兽、建筑物、通信、自然等部分。这个合集提供了对早期Macintosh设计的怀旧一瞥,并为复古美学或创意项目提供了一个独特的资源。它证明了HyperCard的持久吸引力,也是其视觉元素的迷人数字档案。 虽然大量的图像可能会导致加载时间变慢,但作者致力于保护这部分计算历史的决心显而易见。

## 黑客新闻讨论:HyperCard 的艺术片段 最近一篇黑客新闻文章重点介绍了 [https://somnolescent.net/](https://somnolescent.net/),一个展示受 HyperCard 和 System 6 美学启发的艺术作品的网站。这次讨论引发了用户们对 HyperCard 的强烈怀旧之情,他们 fondly 记得 HyperCard 是一款具有开创性、易于使用的创作工具。 许多评论者表达了对 HyperCard 现代替代品的需求,提到了像 Decker ([https://beyondloom.com/decker/](https://beyondloom.com/decker/)) 和 Breadboard ([https://breadboards.io/](https://breadboards.io/)) 这样的项目作为潜在的继任者。LiveCode ([https://livecode.com/](https://livecode.com/)) 也被提及,但有些人认为它未能完全捕捉到原始 HyperCard 的精神。 网站像素完美的审美引起了详细的评论,讨论集中在图像缩放、字体抗锯齿和光标大小上。作者阐明了在现代屏幕上显示不同图像尺寸的挑战以及控制字体渲染的努力。有趣的是,人们透露游戏 *Myst* 最初是使用 HyperCard 构建的。这次对话最终赞扬了 HyperCard 对早期计算的影响及其对未来开发人员的影响。

Long-time Macintosh users likely remember HyperCard, Apple's strange hypermedia system that was sorta like a cross between index cards, web pages, and 90s interactive edutainment software. HyperCard left a pretty big legacy for the Web to come, influencing everything from JavaScript to wikis to the pointing finger thing for links on pages to fuckin' Myst.

Apple packaged in some sample HyperCard stacks to get people up to speed with the software, including one called "Art Bits", which included a ton of sample clip art for use in your own stacks. This stack is fantastic for showing off just how much Apple could do with two colors.

Slowly, painfully, torturously, methodically—I've clipped out over 700 of these fucking things and stuck them on this page at their original size for your use and enjoyment. The entire thing is still less than 300kb, after all the PNGs are optimized, but regardless, I'm not responsible if it's really slow.
