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.
