Sorry this currently isn’t possible. Mainly because hyperPad saves as your progress as your working on the project. You’d have to duplicate your project ahead of time.

@murtaza do you think importing and exporting behaviours as json be considered "code" by Apple? I have no idea how strict they are with that but there are apps that let you run python and stuff like that.

Edit:

I still want a run code behaviour 😛

Apple is very inconsistent with their rules. Often times if the reviewer likes you, they let things pass.

They have loosened some things up a little when it comes to this kind of stuff, but still extremely strict.

I'd love an execute code behaviour, but I doubt that apple would ever let us have that. Thats why we had to move it outside the app with exported projects and broadcast message behaviours. (broadcast message can execute objective C or swift in xcode)

Where apple gets very strict is when it comes to sharing.

@hamed if we could parent objects and create prefabs, you could let people make stuff like this and publish to the hyperPad asset shop.

I think it should be possible for someone to make a scrolling system in one object in hyperpad where users can just put all their scrollable objects in a "scrolling" tag, and use attributes for how far they can scroll in each direction.

I think there are a lot of things that experienced hyperPad users could create for others to import into their projects, like:

• Alternative physics/game engines, like IWBTG and its many fan games, or Terraria/Minecraft style terrain generation
• In-game colour picker
• Game Centre style matchmaking and/or high score lists
• Level editor/loader that exports/imports json

This is the direction we want to take. It's also why it takes a while for us to develop certain things. We don't want to rush it and just release features, sure we could add a prefab system "quickly". But it will be a bandaid that doesn't grow with the app and community.

The end goal is to have things shareable in various ways, while also staying in good standings with Apple (they don't like anything that resembles sharing and executing code).

Exactly. I have no idea why hyperPad hasn't had this from day 1

We typically prioritize features based on what we think will be used and how they will impact the majority of the community.
In other words the platform grows with the users. As you guys improve and start needing more advanced things we prioritize features that suite you best.

That’s why things like arrays, attributes and other more advanced things were added later.

Also as a developer you need to focus on key elements.
It’s very easy to fall into feature creep. Sometimes you just need to push a product out and add things later. Or you’re stuck in endless development and nothing ever gets released. Sometimes the hardest thing in development is to say no.

As for this feature, it’s something we’re planning as part of the UI objects(or shortly after ). Don’t worry it will be more generic and not exactly a UI element.
The issue is to make it robust and generic we need to do some other additions first (or along side)... like the hierarchy system.

Looks excellent. Reminds me of the ooooold metal gear games. Before they went 3D, back on the NES.

Is is a faster paces shooter or slow tactical type?

Web version will continue to exist. Won't get all the features this one has, but hopefully eventually it will be updated as well.

Yup hyperPad is an iPad only app (thats were the PAD comes from ;) )

That being said, Apple is working on something that makes it easier for ios devs to port their apps to mac. So once these tools become available, we'll look into whats needed and maybe hyperPad will also be available for mac.

@angilina009 the new iPad mini that Apple just released is very powerful and a great way to run hyperPad ;)

@sird4sh haha, you caught that huh? It's actually a short description that the project creator adds when sharing their project.

So really, we're just pretending you said it 🤣

Yeah most of the assets are just PNGs, so you can import them into hyperPad easily!
