Hello world!

Here’s another video in the how-to series:

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/S-WMUIwQ7uM/maxresdefault.jpg "How to Add Power Ups to Your MakeCode Arcade Game") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-WMUIwQ7uM)

In this video, we cover how to drop a power up from an enemy with a % chance, pick it up, alter the players behavior based on the power up, and expire the power up. This technique should be applicable to many other games as well as the space shooter shown.

See all the videos here:

Like always, feedback and suggestions are very welcome! I’ve got a list of how-to video ideas and I’d love to add your suggestions to it!

Cheers,  
Daryl
