I made a thing:

This is a makecode arcade game inspired by the 90’s shareware hit Scorched Earth. There’s plenty of things I can add, but I think it’s already a fun, playable game.
**Controls:**
**`B`** : swap between **view panning** and **tank control** mode
**`A`** : fire!
View panning:
**`U`** / **`D`** / **`L`** / **`R`** : move the camera… find the other tank!
Tank control:
**`L`** / **`R`** : adjust the turret angle
**`U`** / **`D`** : adjust the power of your shot
**Note:** the game begins in **view panning** mode, but after the first shot will stay in **tank control** mode until you explicitly swap back.
I hope you enjoy!

This is great! I love the random level placement and how the view panning works.
Nice use of the arcade-sprite-data extension too! FYI @peli

Thanks!
The image text extension is just something I wrote in that game. Sorry, I didn’t publish the extension anywhere (I didn’t put much thought into its design; I just did the minimum for what I needed).
A couple of days ago I posted this thread [Text sprite extension](https://forum.makecode.com/t/text-sprite-extension/1634) where @richard shared a slightly different extension that might be useful for you, though.
