Help and Questions

nope only leaders

Hi, I’m making a game about stickmen shooting each other, and I made 2 multiplayer versions but I’m trying to make a singleplayer version. I’m using the tilemap a* extension but sometimes the bot just stops and I don’t know why. (I added corners to see the hitbox of the sprite, still confused) A to shoot, B to shield.

Hi everyone — I’ve been diving deep into MakeCode Arcade’s source because I want to learn how to build real engine systems (not just make games). I’m trying to understand how the team organized large files (200–500+ lines) like sprite.ts, controller.ts, and camera.ts and how the pieces connect inside the frame loop.

I’m not asking for shortcuts. I’ve already read the source files and tried re-implementing pieces myself (example below). I’m posting here in the Help section because I’d really appreciate pointers from anyone experienced with the engine — especially Richard, Joey, or other core contributors — on design patterns, structure, and practical tips for building maintainable engine code. See the rest of this explain in Trying to Learn How Richard Builds Engine-Level Code like controller.ts - Arcade / Help - Microsoft MakeCode

I don’t think that anyone can fix it just off that, try to provide the whole link and I will have a look… What is the error saying…?
