hyperPad Visual Coding on iPad 4+

Good but with 1 problem

The entire thing is amazing easy cool and easy to pick up on. The problem in that whenever I try to import pixel art with a transparent background it isn’t transparent and you can’t make an up down scrolling level. But still it’s really good .

Developer Response ,

How are you importing your artwork? HyperPad does support importing graphics with transparent backgrounds. But make sure you’re importing directly from the camera roll, Dropbox or files app. Some other image libraries strip the transparency (like the iCloud photo stream).

As for verticals scrolling games you can definitely make those! Mane people have created endless scrolling games in hyperPad. Not horizontally and vertically.

Check our forums and discord for help with these issues!

Love it!

There Is so much to love about this app! So wether you have no experience with game developing or have a LOT of experience with game developing I can assure you that you’ll find something to love about hyperPad... It features a really cool 2d level designer with multiple tools to help in your game making process, you can also import your very own graphics (Images, png’s,) How cool is that?!? But that’s just the beginning of what makes this app so unique! The main feature is the behavior system. (This is where all your logic will be!) the behavior system features a variety of drag and drop behaviors that power your game! So no matter what kind of game you wanna make. The behavior system makes it possible. The app also has a cool place called ‘The Hub’. The hub is place you can go to share your projects and interact with other Users! If you are having any sorts of trouble or you need help with something you can post on the hyperPad forum, (It is really helpful!) And if you need any other sorts of help, the hyperPad developers are really nice and respond quick... so if you are wondering if you should make the purchase... I strongly suggest you do, you won’t be disappointed!

Thanks

Ok since most devs only care about ratings and money I know a one star will get your attention. I need help. I can’t really explain my problem so here is the run down. I want to make a Fnaf style game with a mechanic that if you push a button one, it turns grey and the door goes down. But if you push it a second time while the button is grey is goes back up and it turns red. I can’t do that and this is a MAJOR PROBLEM. Variable problems like this are CRUCIAL when designing a game. If I want something to happen only if something else is happening, or I want something to happen after TWO things have happened as opposed to one, I can’t. THIS MUST BE FIXED.

EDIT: thanks. This is litterally the only way I can contact you guy so thanks. You really need to make some visual tutorials or something.

Developer Response ,

Actually unlike most devs we don’t care about the money. We lose quite a bit on hyperpad. But we do love seeing our users happy.

In the future you should ask these questions on the forums or submit a personal support ticket. You will get a faster and more detailed response!


But what you’re trying to do is very possible in hyperpad. There are many different ways of doing it. One way is use an attribute to keep track of a buttons state. When pressed set the state attribute to say something like “off”. Then you can have a if behaviour. If state =off disable button. ( or behaviour off on your started touching).

Edit: have you tried contacting us on the forum or the personal support page? Just press the forum button at the bottom of the main Hyperpad screen, or the learn tab to access the contact/support firm. Can also access some tutorials in the learn section!
Also can always email us at contact@hyperpad.com. These are the best ways to reach us! The reviews are not a great place for support since we’re limited in our responses.
