It has obviously been a huge year with huge events, especially with the Makecode Forums. While we did face huge issues such as The Mass Exodus. We would also get to see the rise of some great stuff. This blog post has been made to highlight them all!
2023 led to the rise of many new users on the forums
The Coder King Series crowned a new Coder King/Champion this year: @Brohann with his Makecode Puzzle Challenge!
We had 2 game jams this year. Which is good since they are quite rare. The Prehistoric Game Jam and the Superheroes in My Community Game Jam. Along with many mini game jams (I think we’re at #16). We were able to see some great games such as Dino Zoo by @sylvancircle, Fossil Clicker by @UnsignedArduino, Booga Bruh by @PixelDoodle, Dino Blast by @InvalidProject99. We also got to see Mr. @Sarge Sing!
We also got some new and interesting stuff coming towards the servers this year.
Such include: @randomuser AI extension + first Neural Networks, @AqeeAqee Isometric Extension + Karaoke + Raycasting extension, @BrainstormStudiosLTD Hoplings, @Lucas_M-DangerKitty Red Line, and so much more. BUT, WE CANNOT FORGET ABOUT THE MAKECODE’S BIGGEST ONE YET! @PixelDoodle The Biggest Smash Bros Game (plus it was the first topic to ever receive >1000 replies).
TRENDING: MAKECODE PLATFORMER WAR! Although I don’t want to @ing anyone.
And, we all cannot forget about this…… The Makecode Mass Exodus. This year, we were forced to say goodbye to many great users.
OVERALL: 2023, we all had our ups and downs, but it was all a great year for the makecode community nonetheless! Lets hope 2024 will carry the torch as well!
