Hello Educators,

I recently created a Google Site that I will be posting the Makecode resources I create and use in the classroom. So far, there are only Makecode Arcade slides but I will be posting Microbit, CPX, Minecraft and eventually Scratch. The link to the website is below. Please give me any feedback and hopefully this will save people time. Most of the instructional slides are taken from other tutorials, but just scaffolded/modified and some are originals.

I have one suggestion can you have the finished game sent as a link in the end of google slides like here is what it should like

That is a good idea. I can put the link of the finished game & embed it on the website.

By the way, I’m not an educator; I’m simply teaching my nieces and nephew the fundamentals of computer programming, haha.

It is all good, computer programming is an excellent way to teach problem solving and logic and Makecode Arcade does that in such a fun and engaging way! Love the feedback and made the updates to the site. There is a link to the completed projects and the games are embedded, so they can be played in the website.

Add a new lesson for a game called “Survive”. It is all about surviving the never ending zombie horde as long as you can. This game covers ammo bar, direction projectiles and spawn points using tilemaps. Check it out and let me know if you want to see anything or you have any feedback.

Created a new game that test the students skills on reading the coordinate grid. The objective of the game is to get within 15 pixels of the target. The player can adjust the X value using left/right keys and the Y value using up/down key. The link to the game is below and if you have any feedback please let me know!

I would love to make this into a game where you are a pigeon trying to hit cars with pigeon droppings.

This is quite fun! One thing I noticed is that there’s an issue when you get too excited and press `A` a few times in a row; in makecode the button events only fire one at a time per button / event (e.g. if the `on A button pressed` is still running and they press `A` again, it will queue up that press and wait until the current pressed is finished to run it). The queuing causes an issue, since pressing it twice will skip the second turn due to the 2 second pause in the event.

It’s easy to fix though! You already have the timer extension in the project, so you can just wrap the content of the `on a pressed`. This works perfectly as you already have the ‘enterGuess’ set as a variable, so it’s just nesting in one more block:

Thank you for the fix! I had to instruct my students not to be key happy when pressing the A button, but not anymore. Thank you!

This new game helps teach students about velocity and how it effects sprite movement. Please give me any feedback on improvements.

Hi, I am also an educator currently teaching middle school students how to use MakeCode to learn some programming skills and make games. Your website and tutorials look amazing. However, I can’t seem to access your materials besides the games themselves. Is there any chance you can grant access to them? Thanks so much!

Hi @sdubey I am glad you liked them. I am currently in the stages of revamping of website collection, but I will have those materials back up for access this weekend. I will tag you a post once I have everything up and running!

The link below will lead you to my new site. There is where I will have the slide decks for games. I tried to sequence the games, so they build upon each other. There is one up now, but more are coming and once I can get skillmaps to work there will be interactive tuts of these games too! Please let me know if you have any trouble, feedback or suggestions.
