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 (⚠ Cringe Warning ⚠)
[https://makecode.com/\_cer2Hpgqe7hY](https://forum.makecode.com/t/https-makecode-com-cer2hpgqe7hy/11276)
This was the first game I made and posted on the forum! (I forgot to post the link 😅) 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](https://forum.makecode.com/t/stickman-platformer/12487)
(Newer) [Stickman Platformer. The Last Speedrun](https://forum.makecode.com/t/stickman-platformer-the-last-speedrun/14399)
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**

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
