I have been working on converting an old HyperCard application to SuperCard.
Rommy Robot 3 is a simple introduction to LOGO like drawing and useful for some shape, position and movement work in primary (k-6) education. I should have a beta up for downloading before I go back to work in the middle of August. Meanwhile there are a few screenshots on the Rommy Robot 3 page.
