I am currently trying to recreate my favourite old arcade games on make code, starting with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defender_(1981_video_game) Defender! I am struggling with the camera though, as updating it to the x axis of the sprite (which should be in the middle) on a forever loop causes little stutters. I am currently trying to set the stuttering sprite as an invisible hitbox, with another sprite drawn to a screen. I really wish there was just a way to make a Camera Follow Sprite (mySprite) with x axis

Hey guys,
I wanna keep this as short as possible.
To start off Iām just gonna say that Iām not leaving, however I am and will be posting much much less. Iāve started my coding adventures in 2022 joined in 2023 and quit using MakeCode Arcade for six months recently. I guess I just focused so hard on it that it became not fun anymore.
Since my 6 month vacation from coding in MakeCode Iāve found what exactly I want to do with my life. Iāve started learning ethical hacking, Iāve started working on backend development, and Iāve even created 2 websites. My life has taken the most subtle yet dramatic step and Iām happy with the way things are going.
In the past year Iāve discovered my true passion for computers. I have however noticed that this does come at a cost. That cost is slowly steering away from MakeCode as a whole. As much as I hate change it does happen and Iāve learned (as corny as this sounds) that change is not a thing to be feared and avoided but rather something to be feared, but doing it anyway.
Who knows whatās gonna happen. I could go back to my life of mathematical careers. For now though I have what I call āthe thingā. The thing is not a thing but a feeling when you changed a personality trait and focus almost all your time on it because you love it.
Over my life Iāve experienced many great things and many bad ones. Without experiencing the bad I wouldnāt know when something is good. I donāt feel however that this is good or bad rather I feel that this is what I need to do to find out what I truly want to become.

Hey i just realized this but i donāt have a home computer!.. Wait no i always knew that let me rephrase this. I am in 8th grade and i have to give my school computer to them. and without a home computer i WONāT be able to respond on Make Code forums! this is troublesome as i want to keep talking to yāall. (So please remember meā¦ i donāt want to miss out on everything cool you guys are doing!) to be honest that completely slipped my mind until now, but in this week iāll try to make memorable experiences so you guys will know who i am! (until schools starts up again)
