Both Codea and hyperPad are powerful tools for creating iPad games, but they cater to different types of game developers. Here’s how they compare:
✅ You want a no-code solution for game development.
✅ You want to publish to the App Store without extra fees.
✅ You prefer a visual scripting system over writing code.
✅ You want to showcase games on the hyperPad Global Hub before launching.
✅ You enjoy writing Lua code and want full control over your game logic.
✅ You’re comfortable with scripting and debugging your own code.
✅ You don’t mind exporting to a Mac/PC for App Store publishing.
🚀 If you're looking for an easy-to-use, no-code game engine, hyperPad is the best choice. If you prefer coding in Lua and building from scratch, Codea might be better suited for you. Or you could try both!
