Hello there forum friends! Here is a little buggy game I’ve been working on. It’s called Gliders and it is based around…well, Gliders! This is just a taster It’s my first game I have posted on the Makecode forums 😃[Gliders 1.0 by @OrigamiArtist](https://makecode.com/_JUWPRo0Mmc2z) Enjoy and give me feedback.

> **Submit your own glider!!**
>
> If you want to submit a glider into this game then read these rules
> 
> - The color palette must be Arcade
> - The image has to be at least 20x30 or anything near that.
> - Make it exciting and don’t worry, I will add credits.

Here are the parts that I need help with:

1. When the plane takes off, It crashes onto the other side of the tilemap- I don’t know how to fix that.

2. Landing (same difficulty with taking off)

3. If you notice a bug, report it to me please!

4. And that’s all. Have fun!  
-Don’t copy anything from my game please.

5. List item

Hey @OrigamiArtist ! I noticed you’re not calling your array at the start of the game, causing it to not play for everyone! I fixed it up, so I hope you don’t mind. I also like the game a ton when I played it!

The fixed link:

Thanks! I posted the wrong link! Unfortunately, I posted the old, broken version. The fixed version of ‘Gliders’ got deleted somehow. Thanks for helping!

Oh that’s cool, but I like how the game layout is. I might do a remaster with 3d or like you suggested.
