Ok wait I found a bug, if you press the A button on the startup screen it stops the project, probably a “failed to cast on null” error, trying to make the non-existent player jump. You could fix this by using an if statement around the code in the A button loop; “if [playersprite] then”. This will check whether the player sprite is created or not.

@moderators can you please change this topic’s title to “Barricade8: BARRIER console” please?

BTW the 8 is for 8-bit, not like it’s the 8th console we’ve made or anything.

  • Atari 800
  • Commodore 64
  • Commodore VIC-20
    etc.)

Ok, Now That I Look Back At It, It’ll Likely Take More Time. So I Readied And Added To My Old Game, 1942 : Makecode And Added Some Extra Things, Like A Hard Mode. (It Uses Scrolling, Combos And Multiplayer) To Get In The Hard Mode, Its ↑ → ↓ ← B. The Link Is Here : https://makecode.com/_L4qAj9gMzHho

It’s gonna be a single makecode program, but with multiple games inside of it, kind of like makecode infinity, but instead of simple, very small games it will be able to run games with thousands of lines of code. It’ll have a startup screen, home menu, game store, and hopefully tons of games.

Okay @teaeat100 I fixed a couple glitches with the player joining and stuff but other than that I changed nothing, and congratulations on being the first to submit a game to the Barricade8! This is optional, but could you please make a 64x48 pixel thumbnail for the console menu? if you choose not to do this, now worries I’ll just use a “screenshot” from the game.

@WoofWoof I’m having a problem with the pxt-zoom extension, it’s not wanting to zoom in at all inside of the “startgame” function.
@teaeat100 here is the demo project with your game in it:

but as mentioned above the screen resolution is all messed up.
@Kiwiphoenix364 I’m not sure if you know anything about this, but the pxt-zoom extension does not work inside of separate scenes.

not sure if my last comment will get approved first or not but whatever
@teaeat100 @WoofWoof @Kiwiphoenix364 I’ve found a way to fix it but it’s not ideal.

if anyone could find a way to fix the zoom extension using WoofWoof’s strategy that would be great.
