Chatting Area! Have fun!

helping make a pokemon game, and I can see why @randomuser struggled with damage calculations. I mean, look at this!

Hello, sorry for not posting lately. I made a magic trick!

(You’ll need a 9-digit calculator, non-scientific, so not on a phone or computer; basically, a physical calculator which shows 9 digits onscreen. No more, no less)

Just trust me.

Okay, here we go.

Choose one of these numbers.

Now, take that number and...

• Add 5 to it
• Multiply your answer by 4
• Take 3 away from your answer
• Multiply your answer by 2
• Add 2 to your answer
• Add your original chosen number to your answer
• Take away 36 from your answer
• Add the digits of your answer. If your answer is a one-digit number, just use that number
• Multiply your answer by four
• Take away 5 from your answer

This is your magic number.

Now grab a nine-digit calculator (non-scientific, as mentioned at the start) and...

• Type any random assortment of nine digits in
• Press the square root button your magic number times
• Take the digit now shown on the calculator and multiply it by 3

What number did you get? Did your family, friends, and other forum members get the same?

Please, please, please only read this if you've already done the trick

Seriously, only if you have completed the magic trick!

I'm giving you a third chance here

I really hope you've done the trick already

If you haven't done it yet, do it! It will take five minutes

Last chance

So, I’m assuming you’ve already done the trick (hopefully ). If so, was your answer the number 3?

If not, I might have made a mistake somewhere. I wrote the whole trick myself. So please tell me if you spot anything that isn’t right.

Of course, it’s very easy for you to make a mistake as well, so if you didn’t end up at the number 3, then do it again, being extra careful this time.

Thanks for taking the time to test my trick!

If anyone would like to know how this works or how to write your own, the maths¹ is quite simple² assuming you have completed year 7 algebra (I’m in year 8).

So reply if you want me to tell you.

¹ When I say it is quite simple, I do realise i am quite good at maths. However, this being a coding forum, I would guess that most everyone else here is too.

² Also, just another note, I don’t know why the calculator part works. I was just playing around on a calculator one day and discovered that property. Also, the reason why I don’t want scientific calculators to be used is because they show more decimal places. So the final number that you come up with, on a scientific or phone calculator, would have .0000000023508 or something like that on the end of it. Which I’m sure you agree, really doesn’t matter and would ruin the fun of the trick for no reason.

the real magic was when I guessed what the final number would be

Expect a demo for the Makecode Links Awakening Tech-Demo sometime this week.

@dogSquid

Add the digits of your answer. If your answer is a one-digit number, just use that number

Wdym by this I’m confused

[MeatballDev]

yes
(post must be 5 characters )

[Sonicblaston]

Mmm yes I would love a tech demo of the tech demo XD

[Sonicblaston]

I was gonna judt gonna mention that it looks like Kris lol.

[MeatballDev]

imma just announce it

I am attempting to strike a deal with space companies to send a copy of missile battlegrounds into space and onto the sureface of the moon

[RobbyZero]

Space-x lets ppl launch satellites into space with their rockets you might be able to do that if you have 25K.

Self-Promotion:

Battle Zenith!

After a long break update 1.6 has finally released! (I’m posting the link again because no one plays this two player only game) Update changes: 1.There’s a new character called Astro made by @_Astronomer. Astro’s attacks are very simple. Attack 1: Astro creates a shield around himself that blocks range attacks deflects one third of the damage from melee attacks and damages any opponents that touch it. Attack 2: Astro instantly heals 5 HP. (This attack uses half as much energy as the shiel…

[JtSpeedRun]

So, how can you send a MakeCode Arcade game to space? Let alone physically on the surface of the moon.

[randomuser]

XD yup!! They’re INSANE

[Taser]

How long did that even take you to make…

[dogSquid]

Like, if you ended up with 7 or 2, just use the number seven or two because there’s no other digit to add it to.

[MeatballDev]

For those wondering how I plan to do it, I will be using a moon box

[CodePerson]

yeahhhh!

[NeoStreak]

Yeah, I’m gonna redesign the battle sprites so that it looks different from Kris.

[NeoStreak]

HERE COMES JACK! Second member of the party. Yeah I know he kinda looks like Ralsei in terms of clothes. I can’t make any original sprites lol. He’s the mage or something. Uh that’s it.

Hey yall, anyways… I AM SO MAD AT MAKECODE RN… I spent like 20-ish minutes on a logo for a fanmade game…AND IT DIDNT FIT

is there anyway to make it smaller to fit and save the logo
