Answering some questions people had: Q. Why are you asking for the GitHub username A. So I can invite you to the Channel 0 Repo Q. How big is this? Is it professional? A. I plan on making this pretty big, but it also depends on who’s interested. The professionalism depends on how serios the collaborators are. Q. How do you plan on collaborating with the team? The makecode forums is pretty slow and would make collaborating on something like this difficult A. Through the GitHub repo. Good question though. ---

# Welcome to… ![IMG_0466](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/6/641265280eca44a12abde85c3cbbfe7528709cc0.png) We have some pretty cool stuff in the **month** we’ve been gone so once again: Let’s get started! ## Customizing info features with blocks! You heard me. @AlexK made a super useful extension for coloring game lifes, scores, and countdowns. I’m super excited about this given that I asked for it. But now even people who aren’t familiar with JavaScript can color and change the appearance for their games. This news is so big, and I’m so excited to share it with all of you! If you want to go see that check out the link [here](https://forum.makecode.com/t/petition-for-coloring-info-blocks/30460/4). ## Awesome shaders! A user by the name of @Jedi made some excellent shaders that are very easy to implement into your very own game. These shaders are so useful. So Jedi Channel 0 wants to personally thank you for your efforts. If you want to use these shaders check out the topic [here](https://forum.makecode.com/t/some-fun-shaders/30445). ## Mangate lore! @Octodemon just dropped some new magnate lore. > [@Magnate, by @Octodemon](https://forum.makecode.com/t/magnate-by-octodemon/30030/41): > > Nothing too important here. > > ![what is this?](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/7/a/7a0f12d4e1a8821cb00872b7ac3304106ab1b1f9.png) > > New mech? > > ![cool](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/3/d/3d562f73ca545706be5854e1e746cb2a44933d79.png) > > ![stuff](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/f/4/f4695e03aca75c3f2a148c8c8747a1965dbe85de.png) > > Good things are yet to come. > Stay tuned for updates! > > ~Octodemon ? ## Game of the week! The game of the week is… @HelpMeh ! With there game [Dungeon Duels!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/dungeon-duels/30517) This game is amazing I applaud the effort put into this and I want to say great job for the amazing art! ## Self promotion (Jeff I told you to change it) [Geography dash](https://forum.makecode.com/t/geography-dash/30449) ye ## New [game jam](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-23-tiny-worlds-jam/30434)! You heard me! There is a new game jam in town. Thanks to @osullivp for the theme! ## Audio [clips](https://forum.makecode.com/t/help-with-custom-audio-clips-again/30384) in MakeCode! @UnsignedArduino made custom audio clips in MakeCode and it is totally worth looking at and not a Rick-Roll because he openly says what the song is. ## [Crate dungeons](https://forum.makecode.com/t/the-adm-f-makecade/27695/31)! @ADM_F made a super cool game called crate dungeons I highly recommend it and I love the game! ## Thank you guys! I want to apologize for the extremely late post but I want to thank you for being patient! I could not have done it without @Luke @Archer_Bright and @CopySprite thank you all and we will see you in the next one. Goodbye and good luck on your MakeCode’n! ``` The Channel 0 Team ``` ---

> [@RobbyZero](#): > > New [game jam](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-23-tiny-worlds-jam/30434) this has kind of been bothering me. Its a mini game jam, not a full on game jam. I saw it and got super excited and then saw that it was a mini one and was a little disappointed. you don’t have to change it, its just something i wanted to point out because some other people might get confused. ---

Technically a mini-game-jam is a real/full game jam it just doesn’t interest as many people due to the fact that for the most part there is one going.
