> On the oregon trail, the winter has always been the worst. The animals are scarce, the temperatures are low, and food is always a problem. Albeit rushed, this oregon trail clone takes place in the mountains, where you have to hunt, and travel to get out of the mountains as fast as possible. This isn’t finished, so, crunch time here i come.

Cool game! I love all the special effects and how minimalistic it is. @Richard would it be possible to make a version of makecode with only 2 colours? It could be very fast, 1 bit down from 4 for every pixel. Then we could do more calculations and a bigger screen? I am just asking because this game is of a cool genre.

Ok, so I know that I said that if there were less than 7 submissions by the end of 8/15, I would hand out an extension. but seriously, I cannot take this anymore.
I have received numerous messages from contestants telling me abt a lack of sleep and a ton of extenuating circumstances that were far out of their control leading them to be unable to finish their game on time or submitting an unfinished demo
I shall thus veto the whole submissions cap thing and give y’all a 5 day extension till the end of 8/21 EST

Unfortunately I’m expected to be VERY busy these next few months, so I’ll have to skip on competing in Coder (King?) 5.
However– I still ADORE this competition so I’ll be playing and reviewing all the games submitted!!

If you’re referring to the colors, you can change the color palette in the Assets tab, it’s an option where the block tabs normally are. I haven’t played the game, but there is also an extension for fading colors from one to another. I think it’s called “color” or “colors” in the extensions area.

Cool game… You should try and add mouse directional shooting though cause it is annoying having to go towards the enemy to kill them…

Last one, i swear. Since my explanation and game were two different posts, i might as well join them.

> This game is based off of the classic computer game, The Oregon Trail, which is an idle resource management survival game. It takes place on the oregon trail, where you have to reach oregon. You can’t lose (as far as i know), but it’s good to keep your family members alive and healthy. My game is a recreation of this game, where the setting is the harshest of places on the trail. The mountains during winter. Animals are scarce, and night falls quickly. The goal of my game is to travel 350 miles without letting your family die.
The song used for the game is “Red River Valley”
For mobile users: Menu to Travel, B to hunt, aim crosshair with arrow keys, and A to shoot.

The train level is difficult because it’s so easy to get stuck, and you have to restart. But the sound design is excellent. 10/10.

I’m done.
(The old link was updated.)
This is everything about the game:
Controls: Arrow keys or WASD to move, A to attack and B to heal if the heal bar is full. (The green bar)
Your goal is to defeat as many cactus as possible.
Also there are upgrades to help you.
Tell me your best score!

I really like the lasso mechanic in this game; however, would you mind telling me which buttons to press after I shot one of the livestock with my lasso? As of now, idrk what to do upon lassoing and the capture counter ain’t changing

I think you have to keep lassoing them and moving clumps together till you get to a corral? I couldn’t play the game well since I couldn’t keep the animals lassoed.

@Richard, I tried editing the pxt.json on a new project. Program Error: PANIC! Code 911 shows up. (This is not me saying how do I fix it, just can it be made possible? It does look cool 😎)

@BotWarrior you need to have 16 colors in your palette array. if you don’t want to use all 16, you can always just fill out the array with #000000 (that’s what I do)
