i found makecode because one of my friends showed me a game he made using makecode and i just found it really intuitive to code with it ---

for some reason I was taller than most of the 8th graders when I was in 7th grade but I was shorter than only a select few but they were all either 6ft tall or higher… ---

> [@My time on the forums: the whole story](https://forum.makecode.com/t/my-time-on-the-forums-the-whole-story/24450): > > It all started back in April 2022, when my computer science teacher introduced me and the rest of the class to something called makecode arcade. I immediately fell in love with the simplicity and versatility of the engine, and had a feeling this would be the start of something much, much bigger. After I did some tutorials and made a few test games, I eventually settled on my very first big platformer, Spring Breakout. At the time, this was a relatively basic platformer where you could jump, wall… you’ll find everything you need to know about my time in makecode arcade on this post here! ---

My dad showed me the beta wile we were looking around for a coding engine I could use to make the game ideas I had at the time. ---

My friend used it and showed it to me. But he did not know what the forums were. I figured it out at the dinosaur game jam. ---

No, that’s just me. Every other seventh grader look like animals. They’re just straight up weird, man ---

I was young my dad showed me scratch it was hdusuuwjxu6j to me as I couldn’t read yet got a lego boost as a gift downloaded the app it was easy for me to know what was going on got tired really quickly I decided look in the os store for more coding things. Finding nothing I decided googled block coding finding blockly I looked at it and scrolled down and saw makecode look at it and clicked on the adfruit playground one and guess what I did left it just because I couldn’t read read yet a couple years later I could read now so I started using scratch and more years later gotten so good at coding I was making simple 3d engines look at make code again and quickly figure it out. The end. Did i mention I never went to school and was completely home school and I learned to code on my own? ---

I learned more complex block coding from looking at games from this forum, I definitely wouldn’t have gained such extensive knowledge of arrays, sprite data, extensions and more without all you guys 😀 ---

I have been watching over this forum for about 4 years wasn’t until a while that i considered making a account, for makecode i found it on [code.org](http://code.org) while looking for more complicated engines. ---

I started Makecode in early 2019. I was anonymous on both the forum and the Makecode itself. So I remained anonymous, using the forum to check games and use extensions. Recently, I got old enough to use the Makecode forum so I logged in. [Previous page](https://forum.makecode.com/t/first-time-using-makecode/24413.md?page=1)
