It’s live!

Game over overlay alignment doesn’t match during game play.

Theses are the tools I use. I’ll post a few tips and tricks soon. The main challenge I have is creating a workflow for animation. I’ll describe some workflows I have so far.

The apps I use

• Animation Pro - Rigged character animation. I export to a PNG sequence with transparent background to the Documents By Readdle app.
• Nomad Sculpt - 3d model sculpting for 3d rotation view
• MagicPoser - for 3d figure reference
• Flipaclip - for 2D traditional animation. Has a good PNG sequence exporter. I also use it for rotoscoping video
• Procreate - Has a great animation system now. For high fidelity raster art work and animation (you can use tools like liquify to modify keyframes.
• Pixel Studio - useful for pixel art animation. It can export PNG sequences to Google drive (the workflow isn't that great thought)
• Art Set - For a realistic art medium effect, you can't get better than this.
• Xpression - Animate a photo with only my face. Uses artificial intellgience.
• Pinterest - Inspiration!
• Artbreeder.com - For AI generated character designs
• Waifu2x - great app for resizing low res images (uses AI)
• Bot3D Editor - 3d character animation. I can save animations and import into FlipAclip or Procreate for rotoscoping.
• MugLife - I don't really use this much, but it is useful for facial animations. I don't like the content in the app though.
• Affinity Designer - I use this for all of my vector art. I also have Affinity Photo but I haven't used it much yet.

Workflow tips (coming soon):

Here is some stuff I’ve produced

I just downloaded a cool app called mobileML which allows you to train neural design neural networks right on your mobile device as well as train, load or save them (you can save them as python3 files or even as a dataset.

It made me think that a neural network is possible with Hyperpad, but I don't know the first thing about how to actually build them. I want to learn how to build a very basic neural network though. Anyone had a crack at it yet?

My latest UI. the character was generated by AI.

With this list, I’ll also add some solutions:

Animation

With the latest update, you can use the Load Image behavior with the dynamic setting to load images from a folder in you assets. It works well, and I’m not sure how it affects performance.

Instead of spreading my wish list throughout the site, I thought to make a single post where I can jot some features that I'd like to see in Hyperpad. For a while I've been toying with the idea of using Hyperpad to make a top-notch IOS app, but there are some things that would make it more feasible. These aren't all of the ideas I have thought of, but I'll be adding to the list.

Features

• Multi-selecting frames for animation - Nice animations and graphics are important to me and making this process easier would be a major benefit when adding nice animations to Hyperpad. An additional "Select All" would be very beneficial.
• Export object to other project - the ability to export an object (with logic) to another project opens up a lot of potential as far as creating libraries that can be shared with other uses so that complex logic doesn't have to be re-created every time you start a new project.
• Animation System Update - Not a big deal as there are a lot of other apps for this, but what I see is a basic timeline added right above the asset library where you can keyframe the location and attributes of an object and save them as an animation. Of course, this can be built with Hyperpad, but having it out of the box would be nice. Currently we have the Play Animation Behavior but perhaps new "Create Animation" and "Save Animation As" behaviors for a system like the one above could be added.
• More advanced cropping - It'd be nice if the cropping system was improved a little. Adding bezier curve would be awesome! Also, if the crop actually affected the same space in the main drawing area. Currently the bounding shape is affected, but isn't reflected when moving the object around in the game.
• URL scheme support for Pythonista. I use the pythonista app to process images “remove backgrounds from multiple images or create gifs.” Its be nice if HyperPad could interface with that or the shortcuts app.

Behaviors

• Render HTML - A widget that sits in an empty object. I could use this to load video from the asset library perhaps without having to load video natively? It'd be nice if it could render individual HTML elements and trigger events within Hyperpad.
• Standard IOS Input fields, text areas, switches etc..
• Get Keyboard Input - Get keyboard input either dynamically or get the key-codes for keys pressed. Could even send the output to other behaviors (like labels). This would perhaps get rid of the need for IOS input boxes?
• Behavior collapsing. Collapsing behavior children to save space in the behaviors area.
• Add capitalize, upcase, downcase to Text Operation behavior.
• Capture Audio - capture audio and use that to play sound.
• Snapping behaviors to grid

Marketing

• I think Hyperpad is awesome and just needs a more expansive marketing strategy (I see steps in that direction already), but with a major push with marketing I could see Apple acquiring Hyperpad for education purposes.
• When I search for "game engine" in the app store, Hyperpad doesn't come up. If Hyperpad could boost its results with this type of search, it could get more traction.

I’m trying to use the text with format function for text operations. I have a string of “p” and an array. I’m trying to set the result to a label, but I get nothing. I’m using version 1.27

I’m under the impression it’s possible to create an animation system with HyperPad. This is just a test. But basically you store the x,y coordinates of an object with the press of a button. This data could be saved to a file with a name and retired with a “Load from file” behavior. Just an idea, but what do you think is a good approach?

So, the issue was that I was to draw on an empty object. It has to be an image graphic. However, scaling the graphic after you run it the first time yields all sorts of buggy behavior.

Also, I had to put a wait on the draw to activate it. I guess render texture has to trigger first. That’s why it didn’t work for another thing I was trying.

@Aidan_Fire I started a new project and literally copied what you have, but it doesn’t work. Are you in the TestFlight version?

Your version works though.

Styleable Input fields and text boxes would be a great addition. Currently the only way to accept in put is in an alert box. Perhaps drop down menus and segmented controls as well?

I can’t seem to get the render texture and draw behaviors or work. Any help is appreciated. Screenshots are even better.
I’m using the beta test flight version.

@Krystal Aww. Would have loved to contribute. Missed this one.

Found another bug. Scaling an object interrupts gravity, it also breaks pivot attachments (not sure if this is expected or not).

@ItzDrago Use the "Documents by Readdle" app to store your animations in a folder (animation must be a PNG sequence of photos). You can use the "Graphics" import to navigate to your documents folder and select "Select All." This will import all of your frames into hyperpad.

I can't find where I requested this, but perhaps there is a manual way to share objects (with behavior logic) between projects? Perhaps opening the .tap file on a desktop computer?

This would be an awesome feature because we could share whole logic systems to be re-used in other projects. Maybe if Copy worked across products that would be an easy task?

@Murtaza Hi. I downloaded the beta and the issues are fixed. Thank you! Do you have a link to that tutorial?

I do think that a youtube channel with tutorials on the behaviors would be a good idea. Every time a new feature is released, a simple tutorial could be created.

P.S - but I guess you already do that...

I’m getting crashes when I try to clone objects or download projects from the hub.

Also, draw and render texture doesn’t seem, to work? I’m using get position. Also, “undo” doesn’t work.
