My game has disappeared from exsistence

I am currently working on making a very basic horror game. However, when I went to keep working on it, all the blocks disappeared except 3. I was very sad, even though I was in the beginning of making it. This does remind me of this one thing though…

(this came from MakeCode memes and was made by sarge)

So yeah. I will be rebuilding the whole game now. And I will also be using JavaScript to save it to a google doc to copy if I lose it again.

bye i guess

Sorry to hear this happened to you! Two quick questions to see if we can find anything –

  • were you signed in when editing the project? And if so, did it occur when going between devices?

  • Could you check if the version history has previous versions of the project available for you?

YAY! Another javaScript user!



I mean, uh, what a sad thing to have happen! I hope rebuilding doesn’t take too long! <3
If you need any help with javaScript, don’t hesitate to ask! Also, keep in mind while researching that it’s not really javaScript, but “static typescript”, so you’ll get much better answers if you search “typescript…” instead of javaScript. Static typescript is also missing quite a few typescript features, so some code you fine online won’t work.

Try to use VERSION HISTORY!!! It has saved me more times than I can count (while also introducing bugs half the time.)

imo it’s better to just make a bunch of save files that you can quickly save off to a folder anytime you feel like it. I do this for every project I work on and it’s a lifesaver for just knowing that if all else fails there’s always a way to super easily load in a copy.

Btw if you copy code you also have to readd all the extensions and any named assets so I wouldn’t do that.
