If you mean the pixel art, i can try to make one and send it! but if you mean the coding on how to shoot them, you’ll have to make a projectile sprite and there should be some tutorials on the makecode youtube channel or you can look up how to make projectiles on this forum!

@luddep1g
Perhaps if you share your game, I can take a look at what you are trying to achieve.

When you said arrows, I thought you meant arrow keys. I know how to help with the shooting in different directions.
This is something I learned from one of the MakeCode members. I think it was @richard.
I can’t send the link since it wont let me because somebody has opened the project already. Good luck!!

Although this diverges on what @luddep1g is trying to ask…
On each of the controller ‘arrow key’ events, you could store an number in a variable such as ‘direction’. 0, 1, 2, 3 (up, right, down, left); like moving in a clockwise direction. Then in the ‘A’ button pressed event you check for those numeric values.

You are thinking with numerical values and storing them into one variable. Then on the `on A button pressed` block, you can do an `if statement` and do variable = 0, 1, 2, or 3. Depends on what they press. I think I’ve seen that method before. I’ve used it before when I was following the Sucromon tutorial and boy that took me about 2 weeks to finish. Nice and fun

I would use the darts extension, for the arrow only. The character would have the bow while the arrow is the dart.
