I had some ideas that I started trying to do but never finished so maybe [richard](https://forum.makecode.com/u/richard/summary) can do it on stream because usually when he finishes something he has no plans. (no offence)

- Working [QR Code Generator](https://qr.io/?msclkid=4009d32437bc1f60f50fb4249aea379f&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=QR&utm_term=qr%20code%20generator&utm_content=Dynamic).
- Making a sequel to the [image to sprite thingy](https://kristianpedersen.github.io/Convert-Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade-Sprite/) and make it: Video to Animation!
- Recreating “[Getting over it](https://store.steampowered.com/app/240720/Getting_Over_It_with_Bennett_Foddy/#:~:text=Getting%20Over%20It%20with%20Bennett%20Foddy)” in MakeCode Arcade.
- Making a MakeCode calculator that can calculate stuff like omega and aleph-null.
- HTML in the JavaScript tab. (I don’t know if it would work but I was using the [text-sprite extension](https://github.com/microsoft/arcade-text) along with one I made to try and use special functions you can type that look like HTML code.)

I gave up on most of these, but I’ve been trying to successfully do some of them even still.

Just pinging @richard to make sure he sees your thread. I’m sure he’ll appreciate having a well of ideas from which he can draw. Great suggestions! These seem really fun, and they all require some technical research skills that can be good to demonstrate.

I love that you’re throwing in some topics in advanced mathematics, too! ℵ0 (I learned to call that _aleph-nought_; some also spell it _alef_ in the West) and ω are _super_ interesting numbers … although ℵ0 isn’t actually a number, at least not one with which you can calculate. I’d love to hear your thoughts on that… What kind of calculator would you like to see that uses it? Or maybe, what sort of calculations or equations would you use?

In this same space, I’d like to offer another idea for the stream: A recreation of _Green Globs & Graphing Equations_ ([http://www.greenglobs.net/](http://www.greenglobs.net/)). I feel like every kid who took an algebra course in the Apple ][ era played that game. Parsing equations from text is _wickedly_ difficult, but I think there are some fun ways to build an interface that would work well in MakeCode.

You mean it’s not a natural number.  
I find adding the infinity’s to be kinda hard. And a lot to remember sometimes so I think making a calculator for stuff like that and all the rules in the related axioms.

Also the first thing that comes up when searching aleph-null/aleph-nought is a [video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SrU9YDoXE88) by VSauce which explains it well for anyone reading this if you want to know what I’m talking about

Ah! So, some calculators already know how to do “basic” calculations with “infinity.” I could imagine a more intelligent calculator doing something like this:

```plaintext
Expression: infinity + 7
Result: infinity

Expression: 1 / 0
Result (simple mode): infinity
Result (smart mode): aleph(0)

Expression: aleph(0) + aleph(0)
Result: aleph(0)

Expression: aleph(0) * aleph(0)
Result: aleph(1)

Expression: infinity * infinity
Result: aleph(1)

Expression: aleph(1) + aleph(0)
Result: aleph(1)

```

Interesting idea! It’s been a while since I’ve dealt with combinatorics, so I’m doing those expressions from memory. 😄 If any are incorrect, then please feel free to correct my mistakes.

P.S. VSauce is fantastic. Love their videos!

Btw it has been done before: 😁

> Introducing another image-to-MakeCode-Arcade image converter! A simple Python script that can accept images and sparkles multi-frame GIFs sparkles (that’s what makes it special) and turn them into a MakeCode Arcade image / image array! The code to actually turn an image into a 16-color palette was based on @kristianpedersen’s [Convert-Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade-Sprite](https://github.com/kristianpedersen/Convert-Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade-Sprite) web tool. Easy to install\* (all requirements are in the [requirements.txt](https://github.com/UnsignedArduino/Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade/blob/main/requirements.txt) file) and all contained in one (giant and ugly) sc…
