First Time using MakeCode

that seventh graders are a bit worse.

You know… you are kind of right
its like how seniors make look scary, but they just want to get the heck out of here, so the juniors are the real problem

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

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.

eighth graders are a lot more tame then seventh graders

HOW RUDE!

Seventh graders are a lot more calm than you think (at least in my school). >:(

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.

I didn’t think you could scare someone by being loud through text, but you just did it lol

Yeah that must just be your school! I avoided those hallways like the PLAGUE

[AbstractDesigner]

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?

Impressive!

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 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.
