There’s a blizzard about to hit my area. So, it’s a good development weekend. The next two templates are already queued up.
** Update 1/26/2016 ** - The second free Hype template is now available.

OK, unless there’s a massive surge in interest this week, the final free template of the series will be released on February 2, 2016. I think I’m going to try and make some games / apps.

It’s Groundhog’s Day, so in between watching what happens with Punxsutawney Phil or Staten Island Chuck, you can relive the randomize accuracy with your own Groundhog simulator…

That would be a pity. Perhaps not enough people know about it yet.

I decided to create another free Hype template...
It has a Valentine's Day theme, as this Sunday is February 14.
I also did some cleanup on my website this weekend. I setup page caching, so the templates should load almost instantaneously. You know, for all the massive traffic generated by the templates. HA HA.

Nice gift for lovers 
I think part of the problem is that people around here don’t like to read long threads. Although, I like having a single thread, so everything is in one spot. So, here are links to the four templates in one spot…
- Coconut - Free Hype Templates
- Looking - Free Hype Templates
- Groundhog - Free Hype Templates
- Heart - Free Hype Templates
Those link to the original post with the link to the corresponding template page. Should there be a template #5? I haven’t decided yet.
Update – I think that’s it for this project. Surprisingly, I don’t see a lot of interest in free templates. It seems that more people are interested in buying A Book About Hype. Besides, I’m low on ideas anyway. I had already put my good projects in the book. 
OK, I decided to make another free template. It should be available at Photics.com on April 12, 2016
The fifth free template is now online…

By moving the sliders, you can quickly calculate the length of the hypotenuse.
Not here, this is just a picture. To see it work, visit the site.

I'm not sure what this means exactly.
Meanwhile, does anyone else have a template request?
If not, then I might just do this one...
...it would involve some JavaScript though. Hype doesn't include collision detection. I've got some projects that are waiting on it, so I'm not sure if I should wait much longer.
That’s good! Although, I had something somewhat different in mind, more like a game control – where you couldn’t move forward if there was an object in the way. But instead, I decided to work on different projects this weekend. One of the project ideas is to try and use Matter.js without using Hype. It would be nice if there were more physics options in Hype. But by using Hype, I’ve become less adverse to manually writing JavaScript code.
Web app UI elements templates, not for game behavior. I’m talking about UI prototyping here: tables (expandable, editable, etc.), dropdown lists, menus, radios, switches, accordions, all form elements, 3-state buttons, trees, etc.
Thanks!
It's been three months since the last free Hype Template at Photics.com. I've been feeling more rested and more creative lately, so I decided to create a new template.
This template is about displaying Frames Per Second. I believe that Hype has the potential to be great game development software. Perhaps little nudges like this can help unlock that potential.
Even if you're not into game development, there is some general information about Hype that might be useful. Creating smooth animations is important for game developers and web designers alike!
The template is available at Photics.com...
It's a two-page article, so the download link is on the second page. Also, for you know-it-alls, I intentionally left an open problem in the template. That way, you don't have to be a beginner to have fun with this week's template. HA!
@DBear started a new thread about the FPS problem here...

After reading this thread...
I started working on a new template. The idea was to show a way to animate buttons. It grew into a "United States Capitals Quiz".
The four buttons don't just turn light-blue on mouse over, it transitions from dark-blue to light blue. This is more advanced than regular button states, as this includes animation.
If you want to learn how to make a quiz, or if you want to find another way to manage button states, you might find this template helpful.
