This is incorrect. The HyperCard application could both create and play back HyperCard stacks. It could also export them as stand-alone applications which people could use without needing to run HyperCard.
HyperStudio was something else, not shipped by Apple.
The author describes it here:see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperStudio
You can use HyperCard on an emulated Mac in a web browser at https://system7.app/ - it's in the Multimedia folder there :)
Interesting. I only recall 2 programs when I took the HyperStudio class, where the HyperCard Player was free for all to use, but couldn't make projects.
HyperStudio was the paid program that the school had paid licensing fees to use, and as such we weren't allowed to copy that software.
Maybe I missed the original HyperCard itself, we were only allowed to copy and share HyperCard Player, which most definitely could not create projects, only play them.
Ah, this is jogging my memory:
But yeah, HyperStudio was something else entirely (HyperCard-inspired but not compatible).
