all ideas are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

The MakeCode Team created a game idea generator many moons ago. So did @kjw . Maybe one of them can give you some inspiration.
Updated game idea generator link:
I’ve ported Michael Warburton’s Game Designers Idea Generator to MakeCode Arcade. The original was developed for the BAFTA Young Games Designers initiative. It’s a useful tool to encourage thinking about a wide range of different types of games - it’s easy to fall into the trap of just thinking about recently played games.

Yes, I have tried those. They gave me a lot of inspiration. I have gone through many of the games it gave. Now most of them are repeats.
So like time how long it takes a player to press a button when something pops up. Do like 10 of them with random durations in between and displays statistics at the end, like fastest time, slowest time, mean time, etc.

That’s a pretty good idea
Hey folks,
In this stream, @darzu , @jwunderl , @shakao , and I made a game that is pretty similar to doodle jump. Watch me try to draw a squirrel, live!
Watch the full stream here: https://youtu.be/M4n2j27jAZI
And the code can be found below
The MakeCode Arcade Advanced stream happens every weekday at 1:00pm PST on mixer.com/makecode

I found something like doodle jump. It talks about math and stuff and it’s exactly like doodle jump. Try the tutorial. I tried it before and I didn’t know half of the math they were talking about. It’s fun to learn. You learn something new everyday.

Ah yes, I remember that one, that was a good stream. Very funny, and the squirrel was another story altogether. (Not that I could draw a squirrel)
