so now it has half hearts
Theoretically with 3 micro:bits to triangulate the radio signal and a lot of math and setup… probably not…

so if its not possible why did you say theoretically with 3 microbits probably not instaed of just saying its not and if thats the case is there any way to make a gun for duck hut in make code

The reason I said theoretically is because I have no idea how precise the microbits can detect/send specific strength radio signals. I also have no idea how much interference wound affect such a detection mechanism. Theoretically if the microbits could perfectly detect the strength of the signal they receive and also send out the exact same signal strength every time, you could use the detected signal strengths to determine the location of the receiving microbit.
This… does not seem like an achievable thing for a microbit to do, so that’s why I said probably not, but theoretically yes. And also it would take SO much math and experimentation to pull off that, realistically, no one is going to be able to do it.
I bet if I tried, I could successfully detect if the microbit was in the same room as the three triangulation microbits, and probably not much more. I would expect someone much smarter than I (or with more time on their hands) to maybe be able to detect the position within about an arms length of error range? This really depends on how well the microbit can detect the strength of a received signal and how consistently one can deliver said signal.

also I have added
these blocks to my vital icons extension which let you space the icons out and let you arrange them in rows
here is the block that lets you change them by a full icon or a half icon
so is there any way to do duck hunt in make code at all

Yeah probably. You could make something like how the OG duck hunt worked, with a light sensor or something that you can get light or color input from. Then you could flash the screen very bright where the duck is whenever you “shoot” and then the light from the sensor can detect if you have hit or not. This would be a pretty hardware heavy project, so I wish you luck!
So would you need any extensions like I really don’t exactly no how to do that

Also on a unrelated note what do I need to do in order to get the trust level where I don’t need to wait for approval on the post

You can’t. Only Mods have that trust level.
TLDR: You can’t make duck hunt using Makecode.
First, I don’t think it’s possible to have input onto your computer from the radio, because your computer probably doesn’t have a radio in it, and I don’t think your browser would have support for it even if your computer had one. I honestly don’t think this is something that is possible to do using Makecode Arcade or Microbit. You would have to hook up a light sensor to your computer or a different handheld device, and then write code to detect the light sensor, which you can do, just not in Makecode, not unless your screen is a microbit, which wouldn’t make a very interesting game of duck hunt. I believe some handheld consoles do have support for pins, like the Adafruit PyGamer, which has pins on the back, but I don’t think Makecode has support for them, especially if you are using block code. Basically, I think this project is a bit out of scope for Makecode, and you would have to program the devices with something else, which most people here (me included) can’t help you with.
I made this a very long time ago, feel free to look at the code

Hey
I had a quick question about the MakeCode platform and selling games. If I create a game using MakeCode, download the hex file, and transfer it onto an SD card (or other physical media), am I allowed to sell that SD card to someone for a small price, like $5? I’m just curious about the rules around this and wanted to make sure I understand the terms properly.
Thank you also do know how to create outrun because I want to build a arcade machine for make code and I think the most fun games are outrun and street fighters
so I added a choice system to my dialog extension its in my opinion still in beta I guess but here’s a photo on how I go it to work I think you have to have a short dialog and so when it completes do another short one with a choice if that makes sence
I updated the levels extension so now instead of only having four levels at least now I might work on where you can have a name for the level but for right now now you can have way more than four levels as many as you want

So now I added it where there’s a basic one and an advanced one so the advanced one now you have to enter the number for the level and the name of the level, which I guess could just help for to be more pacific, but just because I also did it because someone wanted me to do this, but I didn’t wanna go too far off from the original

I have just made a extension that lets you force set the brightness for hardware and blocks to simulate it in the simulator neverstopthecoder/screen-brightness
