I am making a football game, and my goal is to make a game like the popular game Retro Ball

I don’t know why my “football” is not throwing; it just comes back or doesn’t move at all

Here is the link to the game [https://arcade.makecode.com/S52224-04971-71123-90458](https://arcade.makecode.com/S52224-04971-71123-90458)

So I looked at it and it didn’t seem like A is working either. I would see what is going on with that because the a button shouldn’t cause an error. But I do like the concept of a football game in makecode

The issue is with this loop.

It’s constantly going off because the ball is always overlapping. An easy fix to this would be to use the sprite events extension’s loop that only activates when it starts to overlap.

U should also consider using tile maps to record where the player is and where the end zone is

Thank this is very useful for my other game idea which requires the same action which caused the same bug. I appreciate you for sharing this fix.
