{{other uses|Supercard (disambiguation)}} {{Infobox Software | name = SuperCard | logo = SuperCardIcon.png | screenshot = | caption = SuperCard Screenshot | developer = [[Solutions Etcetera]] | latest_release_version = 4.8.1 | latest_release_date = Feb 27, 2020 | operating_system = [[System Software 6]], [[System 7 (Macintosh)|System 7]], [[Mac OS 8]], [[Mac OS 9]], [[Mac OS X]] | genre = [[hypermedia]], [[software development|development]] | license = [[Proprietary software|Proprietary]] | website = {{URL|www.supercard.us}} }} '''SuperCard''' was a [[high-level programming language|high-level development environment]] that ran on [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]] computers, under [[Mac OS 8|OS 8]] and [[Mac OS 9|9]], and [[Mac OS X|OS X]]. It was inspired by [[HyperCard]], but included a richer language, a full [[Graphical user interface|GUI]] toolkit, and native color (as opposed to HyperCard's Apple- or third-party-supplied add-ons). The [[programming language]] used by SuperCard was called [[SuperTalk]], and was largely based on [[HyperTalk]], the language in HyperCard. In addition to the core language, SuperTalk could call out to [[AppleScript#Open Scripting Architecture|OSA]]-based scripting languages such as [[AppleScript]], and [[Operating system shell|shell]] commands. The language could be extended with so-called externals, chunks of compiled code that appeared like native routines. Programs created using SuperCard could be run inside the IDE itself, or as "standalones", which combined the user-created programs and resources with the execution engine used by SuperCard.
