#4 seems to happen a lot with tilemaps. Coincidence? I don’t know.
no in the assets it doesnt work its just very buggy with 8x8 4x4 1x1 tilemaps
Customizable art for “ask for number/string” prompts and “ask” boolean; basically I want the abillity to set font (like @richard’s fancy text extension), color scheme, background, etc.
Also, @RobbyZero, @jwunderl’s arcade-sprite-util extension has a “radians to degrees” block and vice versa
I’ve heard it a lot in this thread I just said I want it incorporated into the editor without having to install an extension.
I Want to see a update on the Sound/Music/Song editor For More Sounds or Maybe Even A Option To Sample From Other Music Or Songs! Also A Option to import Midi Files Would Be Nice (PLEASE ADD THE OPTION TO IMPORT MIDI FILES, I GO THROUGH HOOPS AND RAMPS FOR ONE SONG AND ALL OF IT WOULD BE SOLVED WITH A IMPORT BUTTON) Also For Midi, The Computer for Piano, The Lemon
for Guitar, Etc. (For The Sampling, It Should be Compressed so it sounds “retro” (pretty much the main theme for Makecode Arcade) (PLEASE ADD THIS OR ELSE ILL BEAT A TUNA WITH A TUNA AGAIN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
I just kinda wish the makecode team had gone with degrees from the start, doing stuff in radians is annoying, especially when other extensions use degrees. I get that they can’t change it now, think how many games that would break… Maybe in a javascript file somewhere we could change it from radians to degrees? It took me so long to do radians to degrees - 90 or whatever the offset is.
Okay, Honestly I haven’t read through the replies so idk whats already been said, but I think they should add:
better countdown blocks, like you could create a different kind of countdown, instead of them all ending with the same thing
Multiple layers and sizes for raycasting like slant or jumping (I know a lot of people have already said this, but its a great idea)
Being able to use a different colour pallete for each image (someone MUST have said this by now)
Transparent parts of tiles in raycasting being transparent rather than black
making tiles visible for raycasting without using a wall on it (I know a lot of these are about raycasting but I recently made a game with raycasting and saw a few problems.)
being able to turn the camera in raycasting or just in general
certain blocks NOT creating variables when you use them like “myenemy” with the follow sprite block or “sprite” in the story extension. (Ok this one’s kinda stupid but it drives me crazy)
colourblind support with the colours of blocks (I don’t want to say how many times I get the “logic” and “math” blocks mixed up.
congratulations for reading my entire rant!
This isn’t possible for makecode, and it has been said multiple times. It’s not possible because makecode arcade has a 4-bit by 4-bit sreen. 4 x 4 = 16, meaning you can only have 16 colors at any time in your game.
Good to know. Learn something new every day I guess. Thanks!
unfortunately, math only really works if everything is in radians all the time. agree that it’s much easier to think in degrees but if you want to use any of the trigonometry functions then it’s gotta be radians
I understand, sort of. I just hate having to think in degrees then convert every time, potentially decreasing the speed of the game.
I agree. Please add importing audio and gifs. It would make coding so much easier
animating tiles. It’s kind of annoying, having to spawn sprites on tiles and animating them.
I’ve found a way to animate tiles in a game update, but it uses up tile space. Do you want a demo project @CodePerson?
Yes, please.
You’re English aren’t you? “Colour”
My beautiful post has grown so much
web events
something i would love to see is an update to audio - different sound channels for sfx and music would be very helpful. also music is a bit buggy (especially with transitions between music blocks)
extending the library of preset sounds to have more stuff to layer would also be cool
Here, remember to read the comment on the game update, it’s pretty important.
