Hype 3 + Pro is great software. I really enjoy it overall. Although, instead of being happy about the new features, I feel frustrated at how close it is to game development software - but not close enough. The default physics settings are helpful, but not enough to make typical arcade games. Maybe …

[image] jonathan: Note that this isn't related to Hype; it is just a difference between the keydown and keypress event. Hype does expose both, since they are (unfortunately) quite different. I'd recommend reading the post mentioned in here: I think I might have landed on that page when tryin…

This may be unrelated to the current thread but since finding out this thread I’ve been trying to analyse matterjs since it’s extremely fast on ipad but it’s documentation is really bare bone compared to something like physicsjs. Do you have any source of documentation apart from the docs page there…

I mainly read the source code. At the time the documentation was good (at describing the APIs, not necessarily as tutorial material), but there were a few parts out of date.

Now that A Book About Hype is out, I can post about something that I’ve been waiting weeks to show off. https://photics.com/files/games/bounce/ While Hype still needs improvement with a Physics API, two new JavaScript APIs create lots of potential with game development. The “Bounce” project would…

Hey @jonathan and @Daniel , Why isn’t gravity a timeline property? Is there a way to change it while the project is running?

It is more of an implementation issue - aside from timeline actions, they only have element properties. The gravity is a property of the scene/symbol. I understand the need to add this though (or at least give API access).

[image] jonathan: I understand the need to add this though (or at least give API access). Controlling gravity dynamically would be a great bandaid fix until advanced physics settings / control can be added. It would be a way to move a hero actor, while still interacting other physics elements…

Yeah, I’m looking forward to integrating all the changes!

Hello. I joined the forums to make a suggestion to this post. I know I am very late to this post. Why not use an established javascript physics or game engine and just import it? I haven’t done heavy testing in Tumlut, but I think I have a good idea of its possibilities.

Hype uses Matter.js: https://github.com/liabru/matter-js (a physics engine)

Is there a Physics API? 🤔

Yes, there is a Physics API.

Bye Tumult hye!
