I wanted to bring to the attention of the devs here a new project I just discovered called Script-8 that is a JS based fantasy console that has a lot of amazing concepts that might well find a home here as well : [https://script-8.github.io/](https://script-8.github.io/) > SCRIPT-8 is designed to encourage play — the kind of wonder-filled play children experience as they explore and learn about the world. In order to support this goal, everything in SCRIPT-8 has immediate feedback. It is what some call a “livecoding” environment. It would be super cool if you devs reached out to this developer and see perhaps if there’s some way to share ideas and maybe you might enlist his / her help in bringing some of those cool concepts into MakeCode … would be killer! ---

Thanks for the pointer! They definitely have some neat debugging features, but they would be pretty difficult to bring to arcade and still support the hardware. ---

Very impressive. I wouldn’t be surprised if arcade covered all that and more in the future. Can’t wait to find out! ---

I’m fascinated by one of Script-8’s inspirations, which is an article called “Learnable Programming” by Bret Victor. Victor, in turn, references Papert (along with many others). If you’re a computer science educator, and if you have not done so already, read Papert’s _Mindstorms_. I hadn’t read Victor’s material until tonight … and, now, I want to read more from him.

Thanks for this response! I’m checking out the link as well. ---

PICO-8 is also a fantasy console for making, sharing and playing tiny games. [https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php](https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php)
