Card game? Sounds interesting!

What are you having trouble with?

If you wanted to, you can have the enemy jump. The code below would make the enemy jump if the player is at a higher position than itself.

If enemy's y position > player's y position:

Jump (use the jump behavior)

I don't know how football works... 🤷‍♂️😅

I just know that the project is going to use a lot of movement, collisions, tags, etc.

Here are some tips:

Tags can be manipulated to control mulitple objects at once. So instead of many individual behaviors doing the same thing, you can have one object control all of the other objects. When touching an object with a specific tag, the behavior would output the object that was touched. This simplifies a lot of things, and all logic can be contained in on object. Try to limit how many timers you use at one point. Having multiple timers running at once can kill performance. Oh, another thing about tags. You can have two tags for two teams. There could be invisible barriers on both sides and you can have events when a tag collides with one side.
For example, when "red" team collides with the right barrier, they score.

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.
