@KoresGames Sorry that you're experiencing this. ):

We're addressing all of these bugs in the very next update - we plan to do a public beta test pretty soon, so the community can get involved and we can get feedback to improve the app even more. Stay tuned!

A lot of these crashes are due to Apple deprecating a lot of things; we're working diligently to resolve all of these issues. Regarding the camera glitches, can you share some of your projects that were affected (if you still have them)?

@Ethan-D Yes, you could make a dancing line game, but it won't actually be 3D. hyperPad is only a 2D game engine, but you can fake 3D by using isometric graphics.

You'll have to take account of the z order of objects - objects with a higher z order will render over objects with a lower z order. For example, the floor could have 0 as the z order whereas the cube could have 1 as the z order; the cube will be on top of the ground. You can treat the z order as the vertical position in 3D space and it should do the trick.

@BuiltLord You can already do this.

You can select the Global UI layer on the right sidebar and from there you can drag graphics from the Asset Dock to add elements to the screen. You can program the elements to act as buttons.

@themerpygirl Awesome! Nice to see more projects like this come out. :)

@themerpygirl There's a bug with duplicated behaviors (fixed in the beta). Try placing down a Behavior Bundle and connect it to those two behaviors so both of them can trigger on start.

You can access the beta here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/2tOMSM6Z

@themerpygirl Can you share a screenshot of your behaviors? Playing sound effects simultaneously should work.

Also, are you on the beta? Lots of things have been fixed on there, and perhaps this issue may have been resolved there.

@themerpygirl Hello!

You can use Play Sound behaviors instead. They have almost the same capabilities of Play Music behaviors - you can loop them and even define a start time.

Since we've just revamped the audio engine, audio playback is much better and you can get away with using Play Sound behaviors. The only downside is that you can't define the end time with Play Sound behaviors unlike in Play Music behaviors.

@gmail When pausing the game, you can also change the aspect ratio to best fit your screen.

@Bryce678 Chicken butt

@Hman_USA Hello! Here are some answers to your questions:

1. You don't need to incorporate shadows into your pixel art images if you're trying to do dynamic lighting. However, it is good to note that hyperPad doesn't actually support lighting. This feature is built from the ground up by the user. In the future, we hope to make lighting a built-in thing.
2. You can have the shadow act as where the unit is flying above, and make sure the unit is visually above the shadow. The greater the distance, the greater the elevation. Adding collisions to the unit might interfere with physical objects on the ground, unless you tell hyperPad when the unit should and should not have collisions.
3. To make the unit land, you can move it towards the shadow (effectively closing the distance between the unit and the shadow).

@Kore This has been fixed in an upcoming update that should be arriving soon!

@Ana-potato Videos can take up a lot of storage and isn't recommended because it can kill performance on low-end devices. Even if you try to import lots of frames of a video and play it back, it isn't always smooth. You'll quickly find out why we can't have videos on here.

@gmail Hello, can you send me the projects you want the permissions wiped to my email: robinson.x@hyperpad.com

@Shady91 As of right now, not really. We are using a bunch of APIs that aren't made by Apple, so this most likely won't work like Murtaza mentioned.

However, if we migrate to using more native Apple APIs, then this seems feasible. I don't know much behind how this works yet.

If you do try, let us know if it works!

@Shady91 However, a blank scene is very rare.. I'd assume it's a memory issue because it fixes itself after restarting the app. To clear up some memory, you can go to your account settings by pressing the top left hamburger icon and then tapping the gear. You want to press on the button called Clear Project Cache.

@Shady91 Thanks for sharing this with us!

How are you updating your sprites' positions? If they are running under a Timer behavior, I suggest using a Frame Event behavior so the positions are guaranteed to refresh every frame.

@dumbTactics Sorry for the late response, but make the world gravity stronger to remove the "floatiness". You can do this in project settings or use the Set Gravity behavior.

@JonnyFlapjack Can I see your behaviors? Make sure you're getting the object ID of the "4" object and that it's being received on the button object.

Also, it's worth noting that broadcasting will trigger all receive message behaviors with the same key. So you want to have different keys for sending and receiving data between objects.
