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.

Me not accepted yet

[_jupiter]

Since i asked to do a weather segment before and its been kinda hard to keep up, can I just help with pixel art or something

[RobbyZero]

You have been accepted but you didn’t accept the GitHub invite (a lot of people didn’t)
Also @_jupiter you need GitHub. We won’t accept until you have GitHub.

[Archer_Bright]

Hey, umm
I have a small problem of being locked out of my Github account

[CopySprite]

Did you forget your password or anything else?

[Archer_Bright]

no, 2fa keeps crashing

[AlexK]

I started using FreeOTP+ because the “widely suggested” 2FA applications just drove me crazy. You can backup your keys, too, so that you can use multiple devices.

Hope you’re able to get your 2FA app functioning again!

[_jupiter]

Ok,

How does github work i have never used it

Hello and welcome to…

I’m super sorry the consistency of these has been dropping. It’s been difficult with only 4 people so at the end I will leave a link to the job application form if you would like to help.

The Community Sneak Peak…

@CopySprite just gave us a sneak peek to some new features in his game:

Spoiler

@CopySprite

1.You can now like posts!
On every post there will be a little heart on the bottom right corner, click it to like the post. (You can’t like your own posts)

2.Reply’s.
If a post is replying to another post then it’ll show an arrow pointing to that user’s mini profile on the top right corner.

3.Users.
At the start of the game you can select which user you would like to be. (Like in the first MakeCode forums game)



4.Themes.
You can now use the menu button.

To change the look of the forum.
Here are some examples:

How about a warm orange theme?

Or MakeCode forums 2 like green theme?

Whatever you want we got it!

5.What can appear in posts.
Post can now have things like colored text and images in them!

Pretty cool right?
Well we’re moving on then…

6.I shrank the mouse.
If you didn’t notice I just wanted to say that I did indeed shrink the mouse.

7.It’s not canon.
Vortex and scamma will not be in the game whatsoever.
No one will talk about them and no one will see them.
So sorry if you thought this was a continuation of the MakeCode forums series I’m sorry it’s not. At all.

Weekly favorites

The new weekly topic just dropped and now we are sharing amazing fun facts. Some of my favorites are:

@DangerNoodle

if you take the word SEAT and take out any letter if will still make another word

@AlexK

There is not one “infinity,” but in fact countably infinite sizes of infinity, known as the aleph or alef numbers (and represented by their namesake symbol, ℵ).

and last but not least the goat of facts:

@ChimbroDaPro

You matter.

Check out this topic

Remastering your games!

I did this with Deliverimania and Ink it Up and really enjoyed so please send some cool projects for me to work on! Prompts, image references and ideas are welcome otherwise i’ll just do my own thing lol

Paid for by @Luke

Game of the week!

The moment you have all been waiting for…
The game of the week is… a Wizard’s Malice by @Bifrosty

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAY!

This ad has been waiting awhile and @Luke I’m sorry for not getting it in,

Card Game: Sprites behaving in satisfying, unintentional ways

[Map] Greatly improved the procedurally generated map! Now it has multiple paths, crossroads where you can choose the path and also visual indicators of what to press. If you want to make something like this check out Random Map Event Generation (like Slay the Spire) It’s just the map code as i worked on a seperate project before transferring it into card delver also set this topic to watching just because i don’t update this too often and it’s pretty easy to miss updates

Ad yay!

Music system (includes vibrato, arpeggio, and lots of other goodies!)

(try pressing A to see how it sounds!) INTRODUCTION: so i whipped up something that will (at least for me) make music in makecode much easier (but not when making it though ) basically the system is similar to the note blocks in scratch used for making music, you have much more of a variety of instruments (i used this extension: https://github.com/klausw3/pxt-sound-effects) including: triangle sawtooth sine square 10% square 20% square 30% square 40% square 50% cycle 16 cycle …

@Jedi once again sorry for not putting it in sooner.

We want you!
