Script-Central Special Edition v8n1

Script-Central Special Edition v8n1 for the Apple IIGS was released in December 2023.


This is the fifth issue of Script-Central Special Edition. It was distributed as a 32 MB ProDOS volume and includes new HyperCard IIGS stacks and updated versions of GSOS SplashColor, Xmas Display '23, the Apple II Technical Notes stack, HyperTuneMaker, and Word.Fu.

 Highlights of the issue, which had a heavy focus on fonts, include:

- Words games Word.Fu and GuessWords

- Updated versions of the Xmas.Display and HyperTuneMaker stacks with a number of new features.

- Apple's TrueType Info stack converted from Mac HyperCard and enhanced.

- An American Sign Language stack converted from HyperStudio (IIGS)

- Instructions for converting HyperStudio (IIGS) stacks to HyperCard, including graphics and sound effects
