Yes! Game development is hard! 🚀
Beginners usually face the misconception that hyperPad makes "game development" easy, but no - it's a tool to help users learn and do game development.
Start small and learn how the small things work, then when you are comfortable with what you've learned so far, expand by going outside your comfort zone to learn more!
I've started hyperPad as a complete newbie years ago. I would learn what each behavior does by experimenting with them and looking at examples - Now I've reached the point where I've learned almost every single behavior. :) If you're curious, I still need to learn the Oauth Credentials behaviors and the Track Event behavior.
