Hyperpad

Hyperpad (hyperPad) is a no-code, visual game development platform for iPad, often described as "HyperCard for iPad." Founded in 2013 and backed by Y Combinator (Summer 2014), the London, Ontario company lets non-programmers build media-rich 2D games and interactive apps using a drag-and-drop, node-based behavior system with a built-in physics engine, particle effects, animation and audio tools, and a bundled asset library, then publish them to the Apple App Store as native apps while keeping 100% of royalties. Products include the paid hyperPad app, a free hyperPad Starter edition, and hyperPad Hub, a community arcade for playing games made with the platform. hyperPad is a consumer-facing creation tool and does not currently publish a public web API or developer platform.

Hyperpad is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, No-Code, Game Development, iPad, and Visual Programming.

Hyperpad’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, pricing, and 4 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/hyperpad: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
