Introducing Prefabs. Reusable logic that changes how you build in hyperPad, plus major behavior upgrades and fixes!

Your favorite game engine on iPad just leveled up! The all-new Prefabs and Templates system is here. Build games with reusable logic, share game behaviors across different scenes, and even export objects to other game projects. Combine that with reworked Joystick and Tilt controls, new Hover, Debounce, and Shake behaviors, and dozens of fixes and polish throughout, and this is one of hyperPad’s biggest updates yet.


New Features:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Added Prefabs and Templates: you can now have behavior logic shared across objects in multiple scenes, and export object files to use in other projects.
• Reworked If behaviors: the If behavior will now have an additional nub on the right that triggers if the condition is not met.
• Revamped the Joystick Controlled and Tilt Controlled behaviors: these behaviors now offer more granular control over movement and rotation.
• Added a Hover Event behavior that triggers other behaviors on hover events: On Hover, While Hovering and On Exit.
• Added a Debounce behavior that limits how often behaviors can execute.
• Added a new Ad Banner Event behavior that triggers on ad banner events: Ad Loaded, Ad Clicked, Received Error, and Impression Recorded.
• Added a Shake Object behavior.
• Added regular expression support in the split operation in the Text Operation behavior.
• The Set Sound Settings behavior can now affect Sound objects.
