> Hey folks! The theme for the second-ever MakeCode Arcade Mini Game Jam is Simulation Games! That’s right! We’re looking for games that simulate some sort of job, task, or life cycle. You can interpret that theme any way you like, but it should be obvious how your game relates to the theme without any extra explanation. Some examples of classic interpretations of this theme are: A virtual pet game like [Tamagotchi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamagotchi), [Neko Atsume](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neko_Atsume), or [Nintendogs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendogs) A gardening or farming game like [Viva Piñata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva_Pi%C3%B1ata_(video_game)), [Harv…](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_Moon_(video_game))

Its an ocean cleaning simulator that I made for the previous game jam (so why not use it again)

You’re flying an experimental helicopter with automatic terrain avoidance, so you won’t crash, but the control response is unusual. Sorry, it’s an emergency situation, you’ll have to deal with it as best you can.
The A button (Space) increases lift, and the B button (Enter or E) drops water. Use the minimap to help with aiming.
Thanks to @UnsignedArduino for the seeded random number generator [extension](https://forum.makecode.com/t/fast-random-extension/5365) which was very helpful for procedural generation.
Sorry, the game is likely to be unusably slow on hardware due to extensive floating point math. I may revisit it to convert it to fixed point math after the game jam is over.

Here is my game! Its 2 am rn and I just finished it so expect bugs!
Its a game where you repair a “Sneezean” (not Nissan) R36 (not R35) which you found in your grandfathers old car shop! Order and replace parts!

Quick shopping list for you! Order everything once apaert from Spark plugs! You have to order 2 of them!
Ignore that some of the stuff doesnt make sense (for example the piston is facing the wrong direction and stuff) its not 100% accurate but its the best I could do as a somewhat rusted coder as I didnt code in some time… Hope you enjoy!
(Also report bugs if you find any Im too tired to do that lol)

Here is my submission! It’s a simulator of a [reel-to-reel tape machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reel-to-reel_audio_tape_recording)!
> **[tape simulator](https://arcade.makecode.com/83950-92804-49013-32321)**

Controls:
A - play tape
B - pause tape
Right - fast forward
Left - rewind
Down - reverse
Menu - enter/exit record mode
When in record mode, press A/B and the direction buttons to record new notes!
Also, just like a real reel-to-reel you can listen to the music in super speed as it rewinds and fast forwards
The tape is 1 minute long. You can blank out the tape by recording and not pressing any buttons. The recording always overwrites the existing recording, but maybe i’ll add overdubbing at some point! Also, I’ve only tested this on the pygamer, but other hardware can probably handle it; it uses a lot of memory 🙂
If you’re wondering, the initial recording on the tape is the beginning of [Gymnopedie No. 1 by Erik Satie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnop%C3%A9dies). I wrote a script to parse it from a midi file that I got from [here](http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bbowman/midi/satie/).

A farming simulator where you play as a mini person (and I used the mini menu extension A LOT), starting all the way from breaking grass to building diamond mines and fending off attacks from other lands (made in 3 days, but I spent like 20 hours on it). Also it has depth-sorting 3d for certain objects and auto/manual saving (for everything, including tilemaps).
I finished/submitted it right before the deadline too lol:

Not everyone, unless you count airdropped water as irrigation 😉

Hey folks! I just posted a poll about mini game jams:
> [@\[Poll\] Mini Game Jam Interest Poll](https://forum.makecode.com/t/poll-mini-game-jam-interest-poll/14840):

> Hey folks! We recently wrapped up our second ever [Mini Game Jam](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-2/14411) and I promised on stream that I would be sending out a poll about how we could make these jams more fun for everyone. Well, here it is! Please take a few minutes to answer these three questions. Additionally, if you have any other thoughts on Mini Game Jams and what could be done to make them better, leave a comment in this thread! How often should we have Mini Game Jams? [poll](https://forum.makecode.com/t/poll-mini-game-jam-interest-poll/14840/1)How long should you have to work on your Mini Game …
Please take a moment to send us your thoughts!
