From the bottom of my heart...Thank you all. ❤ (My experience with Makecode Arcade)

I’m cutting the explanation short. From the bottom of my heart: THANK YALL for getting me the the level of skill and knowledge of coding I’m at today. If It wasn’t for the forum, I don’t know if I would still make games in Makecode and move to (Shudder) Scratch. I started when I was 11 and this site IMMEDIATLY stuck with me.


This segment of the post is about the past recognizable projects I’ve made and posted on the forum thus far, and how I think the project affected me as I got better with the site.

I’ll use this Format:

  • Game Name
  • Topic Link
  • Game Description/Backstory
  • Was this a turning point for me

With that said let’s JUMP INTO MY PAST EXPERIENCES WITH MAKECODE!


Project 1: BLOXDOG ADVENTURE

Topic Link (:warning: Cringe Warning :warning:)

https://makecode.com/_cer2Hpgqe7hY

This was the first game I made and posted on the forum! (I forgot to post the link :sweat_smile:) I made this horrible game sometime in 2021. Me being the bored, Distracted kid I was during online class over zoom (During Covid), Decided to use his skills from my INTRO TO COMPUTER SCIENCE CLASS (That I missed like 3 weeks worth of class thinking I was on a break) I made this game in 1 month It was garbage, and riddled with bugs but. All legends start somewhere.

WAS THIS A TURNING POINT: YES


PROJECT 2: STICKMAN PLATFORMER

Topic Links:

(Old) Stickman platformer

(Newer) Stickman Platformer. The Last Speedrun

This was my SECOND game I ever posted on the forum. It was…Something…That’s all I can say…I started it in January of 2022, Forgot about it cause it was to hard at the moment, Then picked it in march after I got slightly better. This was ALSO the first game I received a REPLY from!

WAS THIS A TURNING POINT: YES


PROJECT 3: HYPERKART

Topic links:

(Old) HyperKart (Demo) v.1

(Newer) HyperKart (Demo) v.2

I made this game thinking that I was smart enough to make a GIANT RACING GAME. Spoiler alert: I was not. So you guys get this sorry excuse of a racing game, and I get more knowledge of what I should and shouldn’t do at my skill level

WAS THIS A TURNING POINT: NO
