Arcade

My first ever game, made on MakeCode Arcade! I learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and wrote more about the process of making this game on my website:

Basic rules:

+0 points for burninating.

+2 points for burninating.
-1 heart for getting attacked by one.

Thatched-roof Cottage:

Cannot be burninated.

I love the art in this game! You mentioned in the post on your site that you wanted to know how to make it fire out of Trogdor’s mouth; the easiest way would be to add a change {projectile} y by -10 when you create the projectile, so that it is offset to about where the mouth is:

I also used the z index so that the fireball is drawn behind the dragon, so it appears more like it’s coming out of the dragons mouth
