Just a random question I thought would be fun to ask, whats your reason for using makecode?
I started off using it for school but now I sometimes code for fun when I have nothing else better to do. (And I like using the forums)

Mostly because I like the community. Y’all are amazing! 
I also own a PyGamer… or two… so being able to play my games and games from other forum members on those so easily is really cool! It’s also not blocked on my school’s computers (after I asked for it to be unblocked!) so I spend a lot of time playing forum games coding my games when I’m bored in class.

I would switch but
- the community
- its pretty easy to use
- and the biggest one my school blocked a lot of other coding sites like flowlab GDevelop construct and game maker pico 8 and so one

Quite frankly i have no clue how to code outside of blocks, and other block based engines (scratch) just didnt land right for me.

When I code on scratch, I feel like I’m terrible at coding, but when I do make code, it actually feels like I’m good at coding!

way easier to make platformers here on makecode than scratch.

I have been coding for years and sadly I will probably migrate away from it soon to
“PROPER CODING”. I guess I got started at school when a kid in my class was using it to make basic platformer games and got to go away once a week on a Thursday and GET OUT OF CLASS. I begged him to teach me and within in about a year I was way better than him and still trying to push the limits a bit. Then I also got to go to that special class (no-one quote me out of context it is a good extension special class).

I create projects in MakeCode (primarily Arcade, but I use the other platforms on occasion) for one simple reason:
Because it’s fun!
I started programming computers when I was ten years old. I learned on BASIC and Logo, which are really fun languages, and I’ve used dozens of other languages. Professionally, I use C# whenever I can, although for some gigs I’m forced to use something else. (Often PHP, which is an awful language.) When I make projects for fun, though, I always come back to MakeCode.
Microsoft makes the best programming tools. Visual Studio is wickedly powerful and is my day-to-day environment. VS Code is a close second and really has become a powerful programming environment; it’s so much more now than just a text editor. MakeCode is right up there. It’s crazy how good it’s become in such a short period of time.

Do you have to switch to unity in high school or do you get to keep using make code?
For classes I have to switch to unity but I can still code here for fun
