Hello all,
I have made a Gist that links to a lot of useful extensions that I use frequently, so I didn’t have to scour the Forums trying to find the Github links that I use a lot. If I’ve missed any, (and I surely did) please tell me! Don’t forget to star the Gist so you won’t lose track of it! (Or you could just bookmark it) As more extensions keep popping up, I’ll add to this.

Unfortunately, no. GitHub is used to store millions of projects, and I still can’t understand why someone would block GitHub.

Nice! Also, I shoulda posted this a long time ago, but I switched to a GitHub repo:
> **[UnsignedArduino/Awesome-Arcade-Extensions](https://github.com/UnsignedArduino/Awesome-Arcade-Extensions)**

> This is a list of MakeCode Arcade extensions that I find super useful (or just plain cool) in my projects.

There is. It is the a\* tilemap extension found there.

Yup, if you look in the [list](https://github.com/UnsignedArduino/Awesome-Arcade-Extensions#arcade-tilemap-a-star) Joey wrote an extension for the A\* pathfinding algorithm which will avoid walls, although it can get really laggy. (It’s a good extension, but it does take a while to compute)

> This extension can be used to find the shortest path between two points on a tilemap, and to make a sprite follow that path. This could be useful in situations like a tower defense game, where you have enemies that need to move along a path from the start to the end. Quick note that this extension is definitely in a ‘beta’ form; the blocks ‘work’ but may change after trying it out a bit more / there may be more additions. Also, I’ll almost definitely change how the path following works; right n…

I tried to use this but there isn’t a way for the enemy to follow a path to get to the player and i am having a hard time getting the enemy to move around and not run into walls the other thing that i need for my game is a sensor for the enemy so thatt when the player is in this sensor then the enemy will follow the player and the only time that the enemy stops following the player is after the player has been out of the sensor for 3 seconds this can makee my game better. Something else im having trouble with is the damage i can make it where the enemy takes one life and then when i tried the forever block with it, it just took all the lifes if you want to look at the code then i can send it so that we can edit the code and figure out where the errors are.

No.

(if you are talking about the mouse extension which allows hardware devices to pretend to be a mouse, then no as well)
