If you are new to game development, you are not alone in asking the same question as thousands of others:

How do I make my first game?

Across the documentation at hyperPad, one topic stands out: Step-by-step guides for building a complete platform game.

Why? Because beginners want something practical. Not theory. Not abstract concepts. A real game they can finish.

The Complete Guide – Creating a Platform Game walks you through:

  • Setting up your project
  • Creating a playable character
  • Designing levels
  • Adding enemies and scoring
  • Making everything interactive

By the end, you have a working game.

Why Platformers Are Perfect for Beginners

Platform games teach the foundations of game development in one project:

  • Movement
  • Physics
  • Collisions
  • Level design
  • Basic game logic

It is the perfect starting point.

What Makes hyperPad Different

Many engines require you to learn programming before you can build anything meaningful.

hyperPad takes a different approach.

Instead of writing code, you use visual behaviors. You drag and drop actions onto objects. Want a joystick? Add the behavior. Want shooting? Add the behavior. Want points? Add the behavior.

No syntax. No debugging lines of code. Just building.

This means you can focus on creativity from day one.
