🌱 Hey Everyone! 🌱

"Keep It Alive", theme inspo by Ludum Dare. We can’t wait to see how you use hyperPad to interpret this one! Whether you’re building a survival game, a pet-simulation where you nurture a creature, or even a game about saving the environment, there are so many ways to make this theme your own.

What are you thinking of creating? A game where a fragile ecosystem needs protection? Or maybe a fast-paced challenge where you have to keep a character or object alive against all odds?

We’re excited to see your ideas and offer any tips you might need to bring them to life. Let’s show that iPad game devs have what it takes to make awesome games!

Hey! thanks for lookint at this.

You can send the projects to contact@hyperpad.com

What was the issue with the files Robinson fixed for you? Robinson is a member of the hyperPad team, so if he's fixed the file for you but you can't access it then thats a different issue. Sending it to contact@hyperpad.com would end up being forwarded to him again.

As for account deletion, even if you deleted the account after the fact, it doesn't make a difference, as the issue was already done when you logged into an account trying to open a file from an older account. Even if that account no longer exists, the permissions are still associated with another account.

This is why we tell people not to make a new user account if they plan to access their old files as it creates a bit of a headache due to security.

Thanks for letting us know! We will look into this and have it part of the upcoming update.

Maybe the emails got lost, but we responded to your original support email.
Your issue is you have multiple user accounts with hyperPad, and your project was originally created with one of your other accounts.
Now your projects are in a weird state. What you need to do is email us these projects so we can remove the permissions completely and they will then be assigned tot he correct account when you import/open again.

Sorry for the delay, we will check our email system and see if it never sent from our end.

Happy holidays!

One of the most important mechanics in any game is collision—when two objects in your game world interact with each other. In hyperPad, you can set up collision behaviors to detect when your character hits an obstacle, enemy, or collectible. From there, you can trigger actions like losing health, collecting points, or changing scenes.

For beginners, collision detection is a must-learn concept. hyperPad makes it easy with drag-and-drop behaviors, helping you create interactive and engaging gameplay without any coding required.
