Nice! The flames and such were awesome! Now I’m inspired for a sort of “choose your own adventure + action”. ---

Nice work! I realized how bad at actually playing games with this one. For the boat rotation is there something built in for that? I was spending a lot of time trying to cruse by at top speed and angle the cannonballs just right. Love it ---

[This](https://github.com/robo-technical-group/pxt-arcade-image-transform) extension allows for sprite rotation. But be warned, it can look really bad on small sprites. ---

You should use the sprite scaling extension for a better rotation algorithm (need to go to awesome arcade for this the default one doesn’t have rotation) You can see the difference pretty clearly > [@Card Game: Sprites behaving in satisfying, unintentional ways](https://forum.makecode.com/t/card-game-sprites-behaving-in-satisfying-unintentional-ways/20445/9): > > Selection is here!

This is the first game I’ve played that used the ray casting to make what seems to be a solid and complete game. Good work!! I of course was horrible at it 😀 ---

Oh wow this is really good! I like how the skeletons can look away from you, I didn’t know you could do that! ---

I’m going to continue working on it through this post! > [@Blunderbuss - Raycasting pirate DOOM game](https://forum.makecode.com/t/blunderbuss-raycasting-pirate-doom-game/29868): > > [arcade-Blunderbuss-v01] This is the game i made for this month’s pirate mini game-jam. since it ended up being one of my better games, i have decided to continue work on Blunderbuss, but im not sure what else i should add. Does anyone have any ideas? For example, i could make a mode after you get through enough levels you control a big pirate ship instead.
