About 4 years ago I downloaded Runtime Revolution 1 and started to play with it; over a period of time I developed a wide variety of 'widgets' available at: http://lexicall.org/John/Other Stuff/
This culminated in my designing a complex extended toolbar for Runtime Revolution 2 as well as developing a complete interactive CD- ROM for an educational company based in St Andrews (Scotland). This education application can be downloaded for free at http:// lexicall.org/John/KALA_in_REVTOOLS.zip? . It was realized during my Master's thesis at the University of Abertay, Dundee. It was mainly concerned with designing a new Graphic User Interface for computers (and may be read, in its entirety, on my website at http:// members.maclaunch.com/richmond), The reason I chose to use Runtime Revolution was based largely on the fact that I have 12 years of experience using what has come to be called 'xTalk' but when I started was called 'HyperTalk'. While I believe that Runtime Revolution produce an extremely good programming interface that uses a dialect of 'xTalk' I was lucky enough to benefit from the fact that up to version 2.0.1, Runtime Revolution was available as a free download that could be used in a relatively unrestricted way without having to pay for it. This option disappeared with the release of version 2.0.3, when revolution took a commercial route. As I have never earned any income from the widgets I developed, this move unfortunately became a major obstacle to the development of widgets.
