Hi everyone! Welcome to the last full week of April! Hope the month has been treating you well. This week, weāre going to talk about what we like about programming!
Since youāre here, itās very likely that youāve made an Arcade game or a cool micro:bit project or even do some coding outside of MakeCode. What part of the process is your favorite? Do you like thinking of a new idea and getting something started? Maybe coming up with a good algorithm or clean solution for a problem youāve been facing? Maybe debugging because itās like solving a puzzle? Do you find it satisfying to write tests and know that your code is working as expected? Are you most excited when everything comes together and you have a finished project? Is learning a new programming language the most rewarding? Or is there something else thatās best?
Letās chat about it!

I have two favorite parts.
1. Thinking of Ideas. I love just thinking about: what kind of game to create, how to work things out, and what fun things I can add to make my game unique
2. The other is when said ideas actually work, because I definitely have ideas far beyond my coding skill level and the limitations of Makecode.

The best part of coding is the ability to create whatever the heart desires, (not those kind of desires) And be able to share your creations with the community, and inspire them. Even the simplest of games can become beloved among their fans.
_insert joke here._

Creativity and being able to be happy that YOU made a project. Whenever I make a game and review the code, I am still shocked yet proud of my efforts.

Hyping up the game. it feels good. and also receiving like from said game.

I love the start, that rush you get from deciding to make a cool project. That 80% of the work takes 20% of the time bit. Now afterwards, the 20% takes 80% bit is the scourge of all coders, like _ever_

When you finish a game and you can play it for as long as you want because youāre āTestingā it

For meā¦ it would be because I love computer games and making the games if they are good feels amazing then you play them and it is so cool to realise you made that.

The part in which I fix the bug that almost made me delete the project.

When you finally get that idea you want for your game.
Or you get this sick idea that you want to add to your game

Has to be that feeling of creating something and then posting it for other place to see. I love it when people share enthusiasm for something I made and I like having a community I can relate to. Another one of my favorite things about coding is learning new things and solving problems almost like an puzzle.

I would say the start and the end of a project is the most fun, but I have no idea what the end of a project feels like considering Iāve never finished a project. š š š

Whatās a test? Good developers donāt need tests, just write code correctly the first time š¤Ŗ š¤Ŗ š¤Ŗ

This might be my favourite weekly topic so far.
I used to love coding just for the challenge. Back when I was making Dark vs. Light, it was all about seeing if I could make something wild and seeing if I could actually pull it off with code.
But now, itās shifted a bit. What I really love most is how I can tell a story through coding, like a way to immerse people in a world Iāve created. Like, when someone plays one of my games and gets invested in the characters or the story, it feels kind of cool to know youā¦ did that. I donāt even fully know how to describe it, but itās likeā¦ youāre affecting someone elseās life, even just a little, through something you made from scratch. That kinda is what hits the hardest for me imo. Not like Iām making anything like that RIGHT NOWā¦ but still.
So yeah, seeing someone enjoy what Iāve madeāthatās the best part by far.

Creating something you are proud of and Solving problems
Oh and optimizing taking a game from 7k lines to 5k is awesome

There are two things that make me love coding:
- Mentally driving myself towards insanity
- The process of getting an idea, making the game, then scrapping it before it isnāt good enough
always fun š„²
