Hmmmm. level 3 we need to help our hero to decide the correct recipe according to the ingredients (in the chest) Recipes: Tomato + Rice = tomato rice Egg + Rice = FriedRice Tomato + Egg = TomatoEgg ---

This is terrific - I love the twist of coding more to escape. Great job! ---

You wouldn’t happen to have a guide for how you made the extension would you? Or did you just follow the default extension guides? ---

Spoiler alert, don’t read the extension code before finishing the game. The dungeon extension repo is here: > **[felixtsu/dungeon-quest-ext](https://github.com/felixtsu/dungeon-quest-ext)** > > Contribute to felixtsu/dungeon-quest-ext development by creating an account on GitHub. The extension has a prototype: > **[\[Parrot.Demo\]4-way.Shooter](https://arcade.makecode.com/10798-51997-78247-75043)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. I made this kind of playgrounds for my students, they must master some idea in programming to play. This one tests their mastery of variable, state identification and representation of states using variables, say in level 2, they need to be able to identify there’s 4 states ( facing UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT), and using that state to decide the direction of the firing projectile when A/B button is pressed. But, their imagination and out-of-the-box thinking always catch me by surprise, like, wiping the walls in the tilemap editor, destroying the sprites, changing the tiles, etc. I have to hide those things, so writing some ‘magic blocks’ for them came to my mind. ---

I think they were just showing how to update the version of the game if you have an existing game - we don’t currently have a way to do that within blocks, so you just have to switch to javascript, update the extension as they showed (the little version button), and switch back. Re: Java vs JavaScript, they’re actually completely different languages (though they both fall into a set of languages that have similar syntax / that “look” similar). The only real connection is that the company that owns the name “JavaScript” apparently wanted it to be seen as a companion to Java ([more details in this stackoverflow post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2018731/why-is-javascript-called-javascript-since-it-has-nothing-to-do-with-java)). And for anyone interested, there’s a bit more to the JavaScript you write in MakeCode - you can see a description of that on our [language page](https://makecode.com/language). ---

Lvl 4 is still in blocks. After a nice meal, our hero is now in front of a secret chamber full of magic enemies, he also get a new ability to `give answer`.
