Hey! In the past week, the makecode team did a hackathon thing. Did they post the link to their projects? I really wanted to use some of their stuff, like the soundtrack extension (By @livcheerful think) in a game. Thanks!

👀 yes here is the link to my Experimental Extension™

And here is a demo of it: [https://makecode.com/\_40EPWdWVi1LL](https://makecode.com/_40EPWdWVi1LL)  
and here is some tests i was using: [https://makecode.com/\_HJiXXq846Fic](https://makecode.com/_HJiXXq846Fic) just to mess with blocks

I would say that since I made this in a couple of days, it’s definitely **VERY UNSTABLE** and maybe confusing! So don’t put all your eggs in this one soundtrack basket, because it might slow down your game, or break randomly! And I would hate for your game to be ruined because of me ☹

THAT BEING SAID if you still do use it I would love to hear your suggestions / opinions! I tried to do something so that people who didn’t want to deal with music too much / didn’t know too much about music could still make some cool sounding background tracks, so I made some preprogrammed “moods”. The level of customization could be exposed for blocks, but it’s definitely a fine balance 🙂

Feel free to ping me if you have any questions / issues or file things in the repo, I would love to work on this extension more!

Thanks! I absolutely love it. Its a great upgrade to the current music system. It is a tad bit confusing, but I’ll get the hang of it 🙂

lol yes i agree it is VERY confusing I did absolutely 0 testing on it with other people. here’s an example of how i intended the blocks to be used, other ways might result in a null/undefined dereference bug:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/d/dfc2995aa90b6d1a739a09a2cb099c14c0e7ebc9.png)

and if you have OPINIONS on what you would like to do/if something is bad, let me know 🙂

(also free is the most…free mood. lets you do scales in flavor, lets you do whatever drum beat in drums. the drums from bottom to top should be bass → snare → hi hat → open hi hat but also my drum sounds dont sound great lol)

other moods kinda try to control what the bass/drums do as a warning

Thanks! I can’t wait to see a more official version if you work on it.
