The original was developed for the [BAFTA Young Games Designers](http://ygd.bafta.org/) initiative.

> [@AlexK](#): > > The MakeCode Team created a game idea generator many moons ago. So did @kjw. Maybe one of them can give you some inspiration. 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. ---

Watch me try to draw a squirrel, live! Watch the full stream here: [https://youtu.be/M4n2j27jAZI](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](http://mixer.com/makecode) Check out our past streams [here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMMBk9hE-SeoHWvTpdezyL9JfF0tocJUT) 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) ---
