the many uses of HyperCard

I was listening to a podcast recently where they were reminiscing about HyperCard. This got my very nostalgic myself and thought I'd pose the question:

What did you do with HyperCard?

I used hyperCard to create animations when I was very young. I would create hundreds of slides -- each being 1 frame -- then would play through the stack as fast as the Mac would allow, hence creating a cartoon (no sound of course). I created over a hundred of these little 1-2 minute animations.

after a while i got fancier, adding buttons and scripts to give the cartoons 'choose your own adventure' functionality. Good times

The only problem was when we upgraded from the Classic to the LC, suddenly they would play too fast, and would zip through the stack in a matter of seconds, so I would have to adjust it for each computer.

If only I had iShowU back then to record the screen
