Sorry for the late reply.
To address your concern, the app is far from dead.
The forum could use some life though. We're going to start actively working on making the forum more active!

Easiest way is to just have an object the size of the screen on the UI layer.

In the next update we've added a toggle to interact with the screen on touch behaviours.

@Ana-potato
Hey sorry for the late reply, there is actually a bug right now making imported images not transparent if they are over a certain resolution. This has been fixed in the upcoming update.

@Murtaza
Understood...I will NEVER attempt to use that hotmail account EVER again!

I will send files to contact@

Thank you for your continued assistance.

I finally got it working, please read! This is some sort of bug in Hyperpad.

I tried the exact same method on my old IPad and it worked perfectly, no black background! So it works on my older IPad, but not on my newer one. They are both running Hyperpad version 2.0 (20) so I think this is some sort of IOS thing.

My new Ipad is on IOS 18.1.1 and every time I imported, the sprites had black backgrounds

My old Ipad is on version 15.7 and the importing of the sprites worked with no issues despite me doing the exact same method and using the same files.

This may not be the actual issue, but it's the only thing I noticed that was different between my attempts. I guess something in the new IOS update causes sprite importing to not work properly. Please fix! And thanks for this awesome app.

We've also just updated the tutorial! Check it out, it's much more in-depth now.

The save file is stored outside the project file. So it's not affected by downloading a new version from the hub.

Just following up with this

We've since rearranged the beahviours. There is no "advanced" category any more.
The Joystick Left and Right behaviours are not combined into the "Joystick Input".

So drag on the joystick input behaviour, then tap the beahviour, and from the drop down select Joystick left, and then add another one and make it say joystick right.

Hope this helps!

The dark interface is automatic based on your iOS preferences.

In older versions of iOS, there is a manual control.

Yes, some users in the past have created editors for their games.
There is a game called "Robo Blue" it is out dated now and I don't think it works on the latest hyperPad versions. But it had a level editor.

The general idea is you would save the position of the blocks placed into the scene by your player, and then "generate" your level by loading the coordinates and moving objects (or spawning objects) into the the saved coordinates.

Yeah, if you have both the viewer and the hyperPad app on the same device they will conflict. Because they're both capable of opening the hyperPad file. iOS doesn't have a nice way of handling this.

As for the permissions, make sure you open the project in the editor at least once. Otherwise there will be no permissions attached to them.

@Murtaza
Thank you
Yes, confusion does happen!
