I’ve been working on an Arcade extension for making tile-based games: [https://github.com/tballmsft/pxt-tileworld](https://github.com/tballmsft/pxt-tileworld) Here’s a first game that uses the TileWorld extension: [https://github.com/tballmsft/pxt-bouldergame](https://github.com/tballmsft/pxt-bouldergame). Currently, the game only works in beta. To load it directly into your editor in beta: [https://arcade.makecode.com/beta#pub:https://github.com/tballmsft/pxt-bouldergame](https://arcade.makecode.com/beta#pub:https://github.com/tballmsft/pxt-bouldergame) Game goal: collect all the diamonds. Don’t let a rock fall on you or the skull get you! Kill the skull by pushing a rock so that it falls onto the skull. More features/levels to come shortly. Comments and suggestions welcome. – Tom ---

FYI, @darzu had mentioned your game in the thread about [Boulders and Gems (work in progress)](https://forum.makecode.com/t/boulders-and-gems-work-in-progress/3365/8) thread, however I was unable getting it working. The “load it directly into your editor” link shows ~200 errors, apparently there’s an incompatibility related to the TileWorld extension. When I tried to explicitly install the extension by searching for [https://github.com/tballmsft/pxt-tileworld](https://github.com/tballmsft/pxt-tileworld) I get this somewhat confusing message: _Extension pxt-tileworld is incompatible with pxt-tileworld. Remove pxt-tileworld and add pxt-tileworld?_ If I continue, the errors go away, but the simulator doesn’t start, it just shows a spinner. ---

Tom’s TileWorld has morphed into a new project called TileCode: [https://microsoft.github.io/tilecode/](https://microsoft.github.io/tilecode/) I’m not sure where the latest Boulder Dash version is however. @tballmsft? ---

I think it’s this one: ![Screen Shot 2020-09-10 at 10.28.21 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/c/ce4e5d4bf30dc122ee3bf84ef35700c52798d9f0.png) Then you’ll need to hit the “Play” button: ![Screen Shot 2020-09-10 at 10.30.04 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/b/b033233409f9d409195c88a24867c5ca088202f1.png) ---

Yes, the implementation is in slot #5. ---

If you want to work with the TileCode github repo (rather than just the game simulator at [https://aka.ms/tilecode](https://aka.ms/tilecode)) then import [https://github.com/microsoft/tilecode](https://github.com/microsoft/tilecode) into MakeCode Arcade from the home page at [https://arcade.makecode.com/](https://arcade.makecode.com/) ---

Nice, the animated updates look great. My variant just updates the positions in tile-sized jumps, and that makes it a bit difficult for new players to figure out the rules for rock movement. ---

Thanks. you could look at how I implement TileSprite in the file vm.ts to get an idea for how to animate. It really helps to have smooth motion from tile-to-tile.
