Project Canvas Version 1.0.6 - “Powerpoint For The Rest Of Us” With A HyperCard-like Motif

1738 Project Canvas is a multimedia presentation tool, much like industry giant PowerPoint, but comes at the fraction of the cost. Incorporating many features and functions similar to Apple's old HyperCard application, Project Canvas lets you create click-by-click adventure games, interactive tutorials, storybooks, school presentations, and more.

Sporting a cross-platform compatible file format, Project Canvas files can also recalls the old HyperCard application much beloved of veterans from the early days of the Mac, using a card and stack metaphor and containing an unlimited number of cards and buttons. Buttons can perform a variety of actions from getting and setting variables, playing movies, and transitioning between cards with visual effects to playing sounds, playing music, speaking text, prompting the user for feedback and more!

Again reminiscent of the erstwhile HyperCard, one of the most versatile features of Project Canvas is the ability to export a Stand Alone copy of a stack. The stack will be exported as an executable file that can be run without having to have Project Canvas installed! In addition, specify special kiosk-style features like hiding the menubar or making the stack run full screen.

Like HyperCard again, Project Canvas includes an integrated paint program.
