I have tried many times over the years to learn coding and the like and struggled so thought I would try the Micro:Bit. So I have one and have been working through the book The Official BBC Micro:Bit User Guide by Gareth Halfacree. Currently im on Program 7 the fruit catcher game making it with the blocks. Anyhow the book seems very dated and sometimes the option it is asking me to put in isnt there so I have to go with the closest option I think. This is mostly a problem when it says select the variable but then when I go in there I have to create the variable the book seems to be assuring me is there.
This hasnt been a problem with the first 6 programs but the game one is just not working. Does anyone have a link or something of a modernised version of the blocks code I can look at so I can see where I am going wrong?
I had no idea there was a guide book! Makecode has changed a lot over the years. If you share a link to your code, I could probably figure out what went wrong. If you wanted to, adding a picture of which page you think you went wrong with would help too, and I guess a description of what the game is supposed to be like.
Yep, 2017 is old. It looks like this book gives you example code in JavaScript. The idea being you can type it in then switch to blocks. One typo can ruin everything. Perhaps you could post a link to your project and someone will look at it.
Yes I will post photos later when im not at work. The book works in 3 sections so its Blocks, Javascript and Python. I thought I would do it in all 3 but im already stuck in the blocks section. Been fine till now I have figured out how to adapt the programs but now im totally stuck. And I dont want to just give up when I followed along so far so well.
By the way the Book is called The Official BBC Micro:Bit User Guide by Gareth Halfacre.
