hyperPad Visual Coding on iPad 4+

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!

So yes I’m a young coder, please forgive me if what I am talking about is fixable, I might find out what the actual HyperPad happened. I rated this 5 stars because I like this app and to be in the front if that’s how it works. So, this is a great app that rivals block coding (if it’s not already block coding). It is very good for beginners according to my experience, and you can create cool games with it. The problem occurred when I was creating a game and the scenes combined. Yes, I made a totally new scene (I think). Then, the combined scenes duplicated and my anger was building up. Scene 1 was also duplicated. I looked at the duplicated scene and deleted it. But then, the starting scene also was also deleted. I was mad and decided to make this review. Again, please forgive me if this review was a total waste of my effort and when I come back to HyperPad it is fixed. Thanks you for your understanding.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for sharing your experience with hyperPad! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the app and appreciate your 5-star rating—it really motivates us to keep improving! 😊 Regarding the issue you’re facing with scenes duplicating and combining, we completely understand how frustrating that must be. This isn’t how hyperPad is supposed to work, and we’d love to help! Could you send us your project along with a brief explanation of what’s happening? Our team will take a closer look and see if we can fix this for you. Send it to marketing@hyperpad.com Thanks for your patience, and we’re so glad to have talented young creatives like you in our iPad game dev community!

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.

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.
