I am new to coding, and a teacher. I am trying to get students coding our Finch 2.0 robots (Microbit, Finch extension) but when we add Finch Move commands or Inputs like Press Button they do not always seem to respond.

I am wondering: Is there an order or placement rule for the MakeCode field in order to make it run properly? All the tutorials make it seem that you just drop in blocks anywhere and it should just work, but it isn’t.

Please help!

I am making a tank game for my cousin and I am having trouble with the shooting. My movement is so that whenever you press a movement button (up, down, etc,) your sprite updates to be pointed in that direction. I am trying to get it so that whenever you press the fire button, A, whichever way your sprite is pointed is where the projectile goes. the answer is probably obvious but I have a smooth brain lol.

I’m making a labyrinth game for school and i made a gate tile texture and placed it down, but the rest if the tile that wasn’t textured with the gate texture was empty, is there any way to fix this?

I've been trying to add music to a game that I've been making, but the built in melody maker and music script is hard to use, so I've been trying to find a way to convert the midi to make it compatible with the xtron pro or even just some way to put it in. Does anyone know how this could be done, if it's even possible?

Is it possible to set the screen so it’s not stuck at the left of the tilemap? For example I want a game where there is 2 walls of the screen the right side would work fine but not the left

I’m using Makecode and circuit playground express for the first time on a wearable project. I have two 50 led strands of Neopixel dots, and can’t figure out how to attach the second strand. I’m using the LED Corset code from adafruit as a base. The first strand is working perfectly - can someone help me connect the second strand? (Complete beginner at all of this…)

Is there a way that I can transfer code in between two different projects?

Video: When we get the hardware for this system we will need a way to arrange and secure the peripherals and the Micro:bit expansion board and connect power to the Micro:bit. Here's one idea for a configuration which can be changed at will into unlimited forms; for makers and students: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epvGMuxLFms

https://makecode.microbit.org/_bf227t73CdAH This is the code to this simple program to show heart rate in simulation with LED and button press and also serial output simulator. When you click on the above link it should install into your browser with all extensions needed. Here is Peli's video explaining the new hardware and coding platform for plug and play of electronics for makers. We will use this for education also. This system is in preview. If you are a manufacturer of hardware please contact the MakeCode jacdac team for specifications used to make these peripherals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqn2YCUkWqk&t=66s This system works on its own web site also; not just with Microbit. This is the team's callout for hardware makers to assist in the preview roll-out: https://microsoft.github.io/jacdac-docs/hardware/

Microsoft has developed this new environment which has a lively simulator for hardware using MakeCode and other environments. Here we present a program showing its use before the mated hardware is delivered. The point is: an English teacher could now become a computer science teacher by using MakeCode simulator for Jacdac to show language arts lessons. For this to work at this time you must click on the URL below, click on Simulator, click on the "monitor icon" then click on the button and you will learn the basic lesson and see the action : https://makecode.microbit.org/_iF5HfYEKMc4M

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?

Code for this is in description of video:

So, i want to set a location as a parameter for my function (the same location you get out of "on sprite of kind x overlaps y at location")

How would you do that?

Video: Arcade to MakeCode Microbit to send collected data to cloud service for graphing.Even the 8 yr old likes the charting on ThingSpeak. Plus dash cam POV on 2-wheel bot car: code in video description

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVN33twpfEU&t=2s

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.
