Geography Dash

Arcade
1

I do some volunteer substitute teaching at a local school, and I just thought I should share the game I made.
So, the computer teacher was thinking about getting the kids to do hour of code for her class and I recommended having them do MakeCode Arcade. She asked me if I could make a game in it themed around the schoolwide subjext for this month which is social studies. The younger kids are learning about geography as a start before they learn about stuff like ice ages. So, I made a game about labeling continents, and I wanted to share it.

It uses @AlexK 's stopwatch code (which includes the text-sprite extension) and Richards mini-menu extension.

The controls are simple (A) to select a location and (B) to pull up the options list.
(Sidenote: if you click (A) to select something on the menu and the cursor is over a location you can click it counts that as you clicking the location and you can’t change it back if you click wrong. Also, the game has no music so if you want to make some for it feel free.)

This game is almost 1K lines of code and took about 4 hours. So, without further ado…

Could you make an issue on the GitHub for this I would, but I don’t 100% understand what you mean.

What I think happened (if I understand correctly) is you went over it but didn’t press it on time because the mouse on square is both 6 pixels big and if the mouse is moving fast like it does it’s very possible it was just a mistake because if you hold (A) when you go over it counts every time.

Wow, it’s instructive for kids.
