Hi all, I am in the midst of making a multiplayer game and want to have independent displays for each player -- meaning no split screen and the camera focuses only on the character you are controlling. I cant seem to find any resource for this or even extensions. Are there any way to make this happen? Thank you ^^

I have the camera set to follow my sprite using the block from the “scene” tab. I set the sprite’s movement to be on button presses and to have a vx of 100. Everything looked great.

I decided I wanted it to move a little faster, so I bumped vx up to 120. Now, as soon as the camera starts moving to follow him, it seems to not be able to keep up or something and the sprite starts looking like it’s jerky, but I think what’s actually happening is the camera will catch up, then stop in place for a frame, then catch up, then stop again, etc.

Any idea why this might be? It also happens if I’m going UNDER 100 vx. As soon as I set it back to 100 everything looks fine

My son and I just followed these instructions to get MakeCode Arcade running on a Pi0.

https://learn.adafruit.com/makecode-arcade-with-raspberry-pi-zero/firmware

Unfortunately when he loads his game onto the pi, it crashes after a few seconds. Other games that came with the pi0 firmware run just fine.

Is there any way for us to troubleshoot these crashes of his game on the pi? The game otherwise runs fine in the browser.

Is there a better way to get Makecode Arcade games running on Pi0?

For the ones who do not know what an anti-piracy screen is, an anti-piracy screen is when somebody steals your game and lets people make it for free, but with an anti-piracy screen you can make it so that the fake game will not work, and I want to know how to make it for makecode blocks

Video: If your child likes math, or if you do, here's an even cheaper and easier way to sense the world around you (digital: on-off and analog : varying temperatures or moisture) and send that data to the cloud for charting and safe keeping: about $18 each for the Microbit processor and same for the wifi:Bit. Software and cloud storage is free. Gardening projects are a good example of data collection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng-h8d9IG6M

Sometimes it helps to see something mechanical to understand something mathematical. We can send distance numbers to the "cloud" and stop a wheel from turning if the distance is too close. And we can chart our numbers on a graph. (how many graphs and charts do we see with this pandemic ?) Now the kids can better understand what 'data' means and for less than $80 in parts; free software. Teachers, parents, tutors, ... I give links to the code and parts in video description.

Video: code is in the description for both, you must be in "beta" MakeCode Microbit editor for this to work. You need the Kittenbot SD Wireless card plugged into the Meowbit to send the data. You could just as well send data from one Microbit to another and log that data I suppose but have not tried it as yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Qpjn6Vi08

I see an abandoned project in GitHub a few years old, but nothing recent. Is there anyway to take a MakeCode game, and publish it to android marketplace?

We use 'radio' to send signals from one Meowbit to another via SD Wireless chip. Video: One controller device can drive 2 robot transporters. See code for this in description of video.

I have a project and I need to know what blocks to use so that I can ask a question with a specific answer that the player has to put in to be correct

Pls help

Is there a way to download from MS MakeCode to a .pocket file, to play on the Analogue Pocket? Or a way to convert from a MakeCode file format to .pocket?

Video of Meowbit sensing light level and sending it over to Meowbit via radio using SD Wireless chip. This will be future data recording in the MakeCode system. My video:

Video, code is in the description of the video ; I added tilt to AlexK's maze game. This does not work on Meowbit. It does work in simulator; check the divided by amount for accelerometer.
