These are sample projects you can use to create a NES-style-Game. You can also try to create the limitations that the NES had.

This is the first one:

You can use this one if you want to make a game with a blank project.

Next one:

This one was originally made by Marlio but i move the code a lil bit to it won’t look complicated.

It also has a lot of extensions I put that you can use.

It also has restrictions like the NES: 1) you can only use the NES color pallete as shown here:

1. the sprites and tiles can only have 3 colors…well actually 4 since the 4th color is transparent.

you can also change the resolution to either 256 x 240 or 256 x 224

So yeah also if you have any problems then ask me and you don’t have to credit me if you want to :).

This is a project I’ve been wanting for my own console which is… the “Makecode Game System”. This is a temporary name since I’m bad at names ☹  
Anyways…these are the two sample projects that you can use.

1. Blank project: if you just want to make an entire game yourself.  

2. Platformer sample project: this is basically Marilo’s slope project so credits to him and you can use this if you want to make a platformer game.  

Also if you’re wondering what this is, these are projects for my own console that mixs a style between Bitsy game maker and makecode arcade so yeah and the sprites and tiles can have 3 colors so you can use this whenever you want.
