A brand new competition hosted by me! Lets first talk about the name. - Why is it called MakeCode Challenge? Well first of all, a competition is challenging right?But, what if I told you that there is a _Challenge ✨_ - What does that mean? Every round, there is a certain limitation. For example, you have to make a game where you **CANNOT USE SPRITES** Every game is a platformer here. Join Now! _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.makecode.com/t/makecode-challenge/28223/1))_ ---
