FINALLY all major audio issues have been fixed! (let us know if we've missed anything)
This update is mainly focused on bug fixes, but there are a few new features we added in last minute. We've also added a new icon and logo.
What's New:
-------------
- New "Permanent" toggle switch to Destroy Object behaviour. This is so you can handle some of your own memory management.
- New "add Tags to Object" behaviour
- New "Remove Tags from Object" behaviour
- New change aspect ratio option for hub projects
- hyperPad menu button for hub projects now have a minimum transparency
- The hyperPad build number is now listed in the hyperPad menu
- New splash screen
- New icon
What's Fixed:
-------------
- Pausing and resuming the project now also correctly pauses and resumes music
- Volume scale of play sound is now more accurate
- Sound effects no longer stutter after a minute of runtime
- Play sound volume is now more accurate
- Play Sound now takes sounds by setting the input
- Play sound no longer maxes out at 20
- Fixed bug where sounds would stop after 15 minutes
- Fixed pause/resume music on pause/resume overlay
- Fixed issue where on iPad Pro 11" an iPhone version of the project would be displayed instead of the iPad
- Fixed the crash when setting a custom avatar
- Fixed bug when changing aspect ratios on 11" iPad Pro
- Fixed bug where an image had to be flipped before changing the collisions
- Fixed UI glitches with behaviour properties
- 2X button no longer gets covered by the hyperpad menu button
- Fixed issue where screen rotations would cause anchors to be incorrect
- Fixed UI glitch with asset library
- Fixed comment behaviour not displaying correctly
---------------------------------------------------------
Don't forget the last update included a lot of awesome features too!
What was added in the previous update:
------------
- iPad Pro Support: We added a new device target so that you can make use of that new fancy 199:139 aspect ratio!
- New Asset Importer: We've streamlined importing assets. You can now import Sprite sheets, BMfonts, and other unique assets all directly within hyperPad.
- Import from the Files app: With the new importer you now have access to Apples Files app. Giving you access to local storage, and multiple cloud services like iCloud and Dropbox.
- Object Referencing: This is what you've been waiting for. You can now get an object by its name or ID inside of behaviours. So you no longer have to visually select an object in the behaviour editor. You can just enter its name. Most behaviours now output the object name/ID and can be dragged in the Object A/B field on the behaviour properties.
- Get Object Behaviour: A new behaviour to use alongside the object referencing functionality. This behaviour will output the ID, position, scale, skew, rotation and tags of a specific object.
- iPhone X (and newer) aspect ratio support: You now have access to a new aspect ratio for the new apple devices with no home button.
- New behaviour interface for deleting connecting lines. This will reduce those frustrating accidental connection deletes in the behaviour editor.
- Optional user accounts! You no longer need an account to use hyperPad. However keep in mind you'll have a limited experience.
- New Get bounding box behaviour. Gets an objects X and Y bounding box coordinates. You can use this to see if 2 objects are colliding with each other even if they're not physics.
- New Is Intersecting behaviour: Input coordinates for two shapes and check if they are intersecting.
- New "View Backups" button in projects screen to quickly see all backups for a project.
- New Audio engine! We've switched to AudioKit for more reliable and higher quality sound output.

- iPad Pro Support: We added a new device target so that you can make use of that new fancy 199:139 aspect ratio!
- New Asset Importer: We've streamlined importing assets. You can now import Sprite sheets, BMfonts, and other unique assets all directly within hyperPad.
- Import from the Files app: With the new importer you now have access to Apples Files app. Giving you access to local storage, and multiple cloud services like iCloud and Dropbox.
- Object Referencing: This is what you've been waiting for. You can now get an object by its name or ID inside of behaviours. So you no longer have to visually select an object in the behaviour editor. You can just enter its name. Most behaviours now output the object name/ID and can be dragged in the Object A/B field on the behaviour properties.
- Get Object Behaviour: A new behaviour to use alongside the object referencing functionality. This behaviour will output the ID, position, scale, skew, rotation and tags of a specific object.
- iPhone X (and newer) aspect ratio support: You now have access to a new aspect ratio for the new apple devices with no home button.
- New behaviour interface for deleting connecting lines. This will reduce those frustrating accidental connection deletes in the behaviour editor.
- Optional user accounts! You no longer need an account to use hyperPad. However keep in mind you'll have a limited experience.
- New Get bounding box behaviour. Gets an objects X and Y bounding box coordinates. You can use this to see if 2 objects are colliding with each other even if they're not physics.
- New Is Intersecting behaviour: Input coordinates for two shapes and check if they are intersecting.
- New "View Backups" button in projects screen to quickly see all backups for a project.
- New Audio engine! We've switched to AudioKit for more reliable and higher quality sound output.
Fixed Bugs:
------------
- Laggy audio is now fixed!
- Tooltip for wall on wall collisions was not showing up
- Restoring in app purchases would hang if you have never made any purchases
- When upgrading from an older project, box container's default value would get cleared out
- Can now launch the interactive tutorial again (Option located in the Learn tab).
- Fixed bug where value behaviour would act like a pointer with broadcast message.
- Fixed bug where play animation behaviour wouldn't save the position of frames added tot he film strip.
- Fixed crash when free users would get disconnected from the internet
- Fixed else-if behaviour not running on spawned object
- Fixed crash when empty objects and labels would try using set graphic behaviour.
- Fixed random error when downloading assets from the asset shop
- Fixed bug where banner ads could cause hyperPad to freeze.
- Fixed bug where play sound would stop playing after a few seconds.
- Fixed bug where set graphic behaviour would sometimes cause an object to disappear.
- Fixed bug where behaviour input fields would round the digits.
- Fixed bugs with offline mode.

- Fixed an unexpected crash when changing a labels colour
- Fixed issue where Collide would not return an impulse value
- Fixed Play animation behaviour property to show Set FPS as a input field instead of slider
- Fixed issue where student tier would not have access to preloading scenes and overlays

**hyperPad was given some rare candy and evolved!**
This update introduces new pricing changes, a bunch of tasty features, and a ton of improvements!
First off, hyperPad is now FREE… with a few limitations. To make hyperPad more accessible to everyone we’re introducing a free tier, and making some changes on how to upgrade hyperPad.
hyperPad Free users get:
Maximum 100 behaviors for your entire project
Maximum 5 Scene per project
Maximum 3 Overlays per project
Maximum 5 Layers per scene
No offline usage
Ads when testing your project, or submitting to the hub
Only 10mb of cloud backup
Everyone who has already purchased hyperPad will get hyperPad Indie for free and will have none of those limitations.
hyperPad PRO has been renamed to hyperPad Developer. We have also introduced two ways to pay. $9.99 a month, or $149.99 once for life.
We’ve also made a few changes that will affect education users.
Schools that are holding structured classes of 10 students or more are required to purchase either a hyperPad Indie license or have an active developer subscription for each student. Alternatively schools can sign up for our hyperPad for Education licenses: https://www.hyperpad.com/education
—————————
Now onto some features!
** Dark Theme **
Developer Users get to enjoy a very slick dark theme. Easier on the eyes… Especially at night! Just press the night toggle on the hyperPad browser
** Animation Priorities **
No more conflicting animations!!! If two animations are conflicting, the animation with the higher priority will play rather than them flicking back and forth.
** Delete From File Behavior **
Similar to Save to File but instead deletes a saved value. This can be useful for when you want to ask the user if they want to clear their high score.
** Load From File now has Default Value **
No more need to use an If behaviour with a blank input check to see if a value has been saved or not! Simply choose the default value if there is no value to load!
——————————
There is also a huge slew of bug fixes, crash fixes, and performance upgrades! You’ll notice how much more stable hyperPad has gotten! Go to https://trello.com/b/EmwcGN1T/road-map-and-known-bugs for the full change log.
