[Hopperxx] Director 12 ships

[Andy Fuchs]

As far as I see, Director 12 is still in the state of the late 90s (no native controls, no windowing, etc...)

Unfortunately the demo-links on their website are broken, so I can't see what they prepared to showcase D12's new features.

Anybody has a link to the iOS-Demo files?
