It’s been an exciting and active week on the Microsoft MakeCode Forums so let’s get into this edition of Channel 0 MakeCode News.

### ChimbroDaPro's Upcoming Game

> [@Chatting Area! Have fun!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/chatting-area-have-fun/8740/1080):
>
> **“The MakeCode Forums 3: The Multiversal Convergence” is in works. Will be arriving mid to late August.** _This will be the final installment of the “The MakeCode Forums” series._

This news is so big! I can’t wait @ChimbroDaPro!

### The Biggest Smash Bros News

@PixelDoodle has to change the text at the beginning of the post because people keep posting submissions. So, if you’re about to submit it’s too late.

### Slopes

A close contender for Game of the Week was Slopes by @BloonsFan3. I was so impressed I thought I should at least give it a mention. This game is truly awesome, and I can’t wait to see what they do next.

### The MakeCode Election

You heard me boys and girls of MakeCode City it’s time to vote for your president. “Who will it be?” you might ask well the candidates are @redSprite and @randomuser who would win? Vote in the poll below. 👇

_Poll ([view on site](https://forum.makecode.com/t/channel-0-makecode-news/27349/143))_

### Game of the Week!
\*angel noises as you say game of the week\* This week was close, but I give game of the week to... @JaidenThePerson! awesome game Jaiden! I haven't seen better graphics than that in a while! Truly amazing! Here is the to go play it yourself. Here is the link to play it yourself.

> [@I just learnt about this forum, please check out my game!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/i-just-learnt-about-this-forum-please-check-out-my-game/29566):
>
> [https://makecode.com/\_KxHfC9aAyLWq](https://makecode.com/_KxHfC9aAyLWq) , There are only 2 gameplay bugs I’m aware of, 1: the sprite does a funny little dance when standing on the edge of the block (doesn’t affect gameplay) 2: if your latched onto a wall to the left, you need to hold/press A (as in WASD) when jumping upwards, or you’ll get stuck, otherwise enjoy!

### Pirate Jam

> [@\[Announcement\] MakeCode Arcade Mini Game Jam #21 - Pirate Jam!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-21-pirate-jam/29544/1):
>
> I think this one is pretty self-explanatory, but just in case, we’re talking about everyone’s favorite brigands. Y’know the ones! Shanties? Big boat? Black flag with a skull on it? Pirates!
> 
> You can interpret this theme however you want as long as someone can see how it relates to the word “Pirates” with no extra explanation.

Sounds good!

Well that’s been this edition of Channel 0 MakeCode News!  
Good luck on your MakeCode’n!

It’s been an exciting and active week on the Microsoft MakeCode Forums so let’s get into this edition of Channel 0 MakeCode News.

## The MakeCode Forums 3 (status report)

> [@Chatting Area! Have fun!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/chatting-area-have-fun/8740/1104):
>
> The MakeCode Forums 3 reached 1000 blocks only very recently! I’d estimate it at about 30% done.
> 
> @AlexK assisted with the transferring of assets into the game via [this post](https://forum.makecode.com/t/transferring-game-assets-between-projects/29602). Thanks @AlexK, you’re THE GOAT. Like, THE BEST. Made the development much faster!
> 
> The user interface in the game is a little bit different, and DaPro Games has officially listened to @richard’s on stream request of maintaining control over the speed of the posts. That’s right! **You now press A to continue to the next post! It is no longer automatic!** As for the user interface though, The MakeCode Forums 3 has been styled up completely, with borders for each post, and badges shown badges for each user!
> 
> As well as all of this, The MakeCode Forums 3 now allows website scroll (this took exceptionally long lol)! You can move your cursor to the bottom of the screen to “push” the camera down, and vice versa for up.
> 
> The lore for The MakeCode Forums 3 has been officially completed! It’s going to be a wild ride…
> 
> As I’m writing this, @Luke has provided all new character art for The MakeCode Forums 3! Thanks @Luke! He and @Octodemon will be in the credits.

All this news sounds so good, and I can’t wait for the game.

## To GameStop or not to GameStop. That is the question.

There have been some disagreements in the weekly topic for forum users favorite store. After @PixelDoodle mentioned expecting people to say GameStop

> [@label Weekly Topic: Favorite Store](https://forum.makecode.com/t/weekly-topic-favorite-store/29617/7):
>
> I’m betting more than half the replies will be _Gamestop_

This would come out to be pretty much true as GameStop seemed popular. See for yourself here:

> [@label Weekly Topic: Favorite Store](https://forum.makecode.com/t/weekly-topic-favorite-store/29617/10):
>
> GameStop!

> [@label Weekly Topic: Favorite Store](https://forum.makecode.com/t/weekly-topic-favorite-store/29617/12):
>
> Gamestop

Then a user by the name of @Brohann said…

> [@label Weekly Topic: Favorite Store](https://forum.makecode.com/t/weekly-topic-favorite-store/29617/26):
>
> i hate gamestop

Which led to users saying stuff like this:

> [@label Weekly Topic: Favorite Store](https://forum.makecode.com/t/weekly-topic-favorite-store/29617/27):
>
> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

## The Pixel Checklist

@PixelDoodle made a whole topic for there to do list. And it’s got some pretty cool upcoming games in it. This fills me with excitement so I can’t wait to see what these games will look like.

## Game of the Week!

This was hard to decide but I’d have to give game of the week to @MYR with his/her game “Sword of Light”. This game is super impressive and easy but hard at the same time. I love it! Play the game yourself [here](https://forum.makecode.com/t/sword-of-light-game/29634).

## The middle or... the end!

@jnegative announced moving on from MakeCode and that they are learning other languages. There wording makes it unclear whether they are leaving or staying. But if you are leaving good luck with your journey.

## Reflections

A close contender for game of the week was the game reflections by @Jedi play it yourself [here](https://forum.makecode.com/t/simple-reflections/29636).
