Hi,
I may have done this wrong. On a 12.3.1 mac and launched WyldCard with gradle run. <- There are no instructions on how to actually build.
One it was running, all was amazing, and although it looked like I could save, it didn't, and wouldn't quit.
Amazing work btw!
Hi @everythingability, glad you had a successful run.
As far as building information, you can find it here.
It appears to be a bug with the default stack. A workaround until it is fixed, is to do a "Save Stack As..." and then reopen the stack when you launch again. There is currently no concept of a Home stack or even a default stack. It will always open the default in-memory stack.
@defano has done an amazing work, indeed!
Hope this helps,

@ooper-zz When I mentioned the build instructions, what I meant was at no point does it say... type...
> gradle build
> gradle run
I've only got glancing experience of Java (coding in Processing) so I had to Google how to get it running... I did but many might not. You've probably woken a few nostalgic old farts like me who haven't used Gradle :-)
One of the best/weirdest features of HyperCard that you never had to save anything. Any chance of that? Maybe as an option - but it really was an amazing feature.

I see. Glad to see you figured it out. As for the auto-save, I agree. Saving a stack was one of the features that made Hypercard stand out from the crowd, albeit not your standard document-based applications. We can technically do it in Java, as there are plenty of time-tested options for caching, but I will let @defano chime in on his take from a roadmap and priority perspective.
