I want to make something like MicroCode but for Makecode arcade so like you can make makecode games and test it like an run button but the problem is my knowledge is limited and I need help (:

That is a great idea, looks like something I can kinda do. But it’s VERY complicated, lots of arrays and if statements 🤣.

I’m a little confused- what is microcode? Also, cant you already test your games in makecode arcade?

yeah but I want it so you can build games on a piece of make-code hardware so like a mini editor and then you can run that game you made on the same game plus this is the [microcode](https://forum.makecode.com/t/introducing-microcode-visual-coding-for-the-micro-bit-v2/15760)

Well I’m trying to make a texting system in make code but I always get caught in a part, so, I want to make a extension that can do everything for you in one block but making one on git hub is a lot of work so I want a button in make code that lets you make an extension with a tiny bit of code so then every one will come to make code and make anything then it will be SUPER popular. So I want a button for that but if not I understand why though.

Welcome to the forum! You can make an extension using Makecode by linking your GitHub account to your Makecode account (I forget how, I did it so long ago, sorry. Something in settings I think?) and then there should be a little GitHub logo next to the project name when you open the project. This will automatically create a GitHub repo for your project, and then you can make your extension and then click the GitHub logo again, push code to GitHub, and click “create release” to make your extension findable in the extensions menu by searching the link to your repo! Sorry if this was a bit of a messy explanation…
