Hello everyone I thought I should do something special for you all I make newspapers for my school and I have so much fun doing that I thought I’d make a MakeCode News which I now title Channel 0 MakeCode News. In this I’ll tell you about news on the forums. Such as game updates on popular games like Pixel smash and give you news on other stuff too. This will be stuff you can find on the forum but all in one topic.

This is the first edition of Channel 0 MakeCode News. Let’s get started! I recently found a secret debug mode in fossil clicker that lets you start the game with a lot of money but I don’t think it saves so maybe edit the code a bit so it does save. Also the MakeCode moderators have announced that they are more strict on topics. Personally I like that a lot. Development of ConeGuy 64 seems to be going well. I love seeing dev logs on the forum it gives me a reason to come back. Super Mario game dev log by @Sonicblaston also looks like it’s going well. Thank you for reading the first edition of **Channel 0 News**  
Let me know if you liked this in the poll below.

_Poll ([view on site](https://forum.makecode.com/t/channel-0-makecode-news/27349/3))_

I plan on doing this every Thursday so if you like it come back again then

It would be cool if it was more structured, instead of just one paragraph, for example:

# CHANNEL 0: MakeCode News 2024-03-01T00:00:00Z

_Fossil Clicker Exploitation_

Recent sources have shown that @UnsignedArduino Prehistoric Game Jam Submission, Fossil Clicker have a secret bug that can cause the player to obtain a large amount of their currency at the beginning of the game. The explanation behind this exploit is yet to be explained.

> [@RobbyZero](#):
>
> I don’t think it saves so maybe edit the code a bit so it does save

Stated by @RobbyZero, Head of Channel 0. This error in the 2nd place winning game for the Prehistoric Game Jam may be patched very soon, so we may expect an update on this matter in the future.

_The MakeCode Team Improve Forum Standards_

MakeCode has released a new topic discussing the latest upgrades to the MakeCode Forum, as requested by the community. The topic discussed how to staying on topic is now an official requirement in the [MakeCode Forum Code of Conduct](https://forum.makecode.com/t/makecode-forum-code-of-conduct/1729), and which topics you should have certain conversations.

The forum members seem to be pleased with the change of rules provided by the MakeCode Team.

That’s all for the Channel 0 today, catch us next week for more MakeCode News!

Just so you know I didn’t write the fossil clicker news as it being a bug. I wrote it as an inaccessible feature. Saying it doesn’t work or can’t be activated without editing code. My original post said:

> [@RobbyZero](#):
>
> secret debug mode

I didn’t say that it was a bug. @ChimbroDaPro got lost in translation my post doesn’t say that it was a bug or an exploit. However, @ChimbroDaPro says

> [@ChimbroDaPro](#):
>
> The explanation behind this exploit is yet to be explained.

I believe looking at the code makes it obvious. So, for any future people deciding to change my work saying it’s not cool check your work. I’m not being rude; I’m just saying fact check the stuff you post. @ChimbroDaPro changed my wording and it got messed up. I like how you formatted it though. It makes it look a lot better and I will try to do that from now on.

You can see the words DEBUG come up twice.  
BTW the money is actually a ton more. I like making things harder, so it says 5 in the picture.

**It’s News Time**  
We have a lot of stuff today. This week has been filled with great news. Welcome to…

 ![IMG_0466](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/6/641265280eca44a12abde85c3cbbfe7528709cc0.png)  
Yes I made a logo.  
So @PixelDoodle made a post it says that they were playing a pokemon game with harder rules, and they made a optional harder rules for  
[Pixel Smash](https://arcade.makecode.com/S12528-11586-16515-77037) this sounds super fun but then I caught a glance at some text:

> [@The Biggest Smash Bros Game](https://forum.makecode.com/t/the-biggest-smash-bros-game/18456/1292):
>
> I want to see who’s better or worse than me 😈

Oh it’s on!  
(Btw I’m saying that non realisticly. I’m genuinely scared after that devil emoji)

There has been a new game on the forums it was

> [@Back-Rooms .97](https://forum.makecode.com/t/back-rooms-97/27552/2):
>
> Made In A Few Days

If you haven’t seen it yet you’d be surprised to know this game is a recreation of…  
The backrooms!  
My immediate reaction was “how did you make this in a day” But overall it’s a great recreation. @Save_Red great job. Here’s the [link](https://forum.makecode.com/t/back-rooms-97/27552) to the topic if you want to play.

Moving on @Archer_Bright announced:

> [@Comings and Goings](https://forum.makecode.com/t/comings-and-goings/26719/56):
>
> i have been just diagnosed with a farely rare disease

Well everyone at Channel 0 News wishes you good luck.

A surprising amount of people are not doing the female Gamechangers jam

> im not doing it.

> [@\[Announcement\] Female Gamechangers Game Jam!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-female-gamechangers-game-jam/27424/9):
>
> I’m too busy

Personally I’m making a game to win that meta quest but I might not post it for the MakeCode Jam.

@randomuser before I wrap this up does

> [@\[Announcement\] Female Gamechangers Game Jam!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-female-gamechangers-game-jam/27424/18):
>
> the newspaper

mean Channel 0 MakeCode News?  
If so then the newspaper thinks highly of it.

Well that’s it for this week. I wish you all good luck on your MakeCodeing.  
Channel 0 MakeCode News out.

Maybe like  
one advertisement for a demo,  
one for a full release,  
one for a major update  
and one for an existing game that should have more recognition.
