Fabulous tutorial! This took me all day but only because I kept having to get up to do other things. But when I would come, was easy to pick right up and go! Very nice! You are easy to follow and don't skips steps as so many do because they have been doing it so long they don't realize you need to explain some things. You did beautifully. More tutorials please!
My 11 year old daughter's used Makecode for a year but recent changes have really put her off using it. Sometimes it just loses your code and when you're 11 - that's a hard thing to accept and live with after the fourth time it does that. Oh yeah - never ever make a code in blocks and then swap into programming. You'll lose everything.
@@daniel-zh9nj6yn6y - cheers mate! She loved MakeCode until the recent problems and she liked GDevelop but we're going to try Scratch after a quick look at it.
I'm having difficulty understanding functions in Makecode. When are variables global, and when are they local? Can you force the scope of a variable to be one or the other?
Hello Gamefromscratch. Thank you for sharing this video with all your followers. I learn a lot viewing them. Specially this kind of videos with a full view of a product like this. Sadly some times i must to get hard to the chair, because you speak a lot of fast and i think i can get an ACV because my head could implode of such amount of words by second. I have some questions about some other apps or products, i do not know where is the propper way to asking. Sorry for my english, i am spanish talker and again, thanks for your videos!.
@@gnsf This sort of thing is mainly for getting kids and early teens into programming. It's just a starting point dude. Also someone using this to play around with has no bearing on you. Why do you care what someone else chooses to use?
@@izumichan31 actually i thought about it just after i wrote the comment lol, i thought like was a serious game engine trying to do things with blocks from scratch but isn't, i will taught programming at middle school for some laboratory, i think that because this has also javascript i might use it after teaching basic scratch programming, looks like a good transition point from scratch to programming But generally speaking i still see node and block programming as something extremely clunky and more time consuming that written text programming and if you are not a kid i think it's better for you to learn to do code, obviously do whatever you want but i warned you
I have a problem. I have been playing in this coding app for a while now but I have a problem. The more progress i do the more the site will lag. The codes and the game is a way to laggy. Do you have any tips. Icant do anything and i really want to create games.
I derped around the included tutorials and see it as an interesting first step. It tackles the main wall I see for kids which is immediate gratification. Nothing more disheartening than having drive and ideas but being forced to do hello worlds and other lame examples to explain the concept of programming.

Pro trick: you can watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Jaylen Yousef yea, I have been watching on flixzone} for years myself :)
So proud of Mike's art evolution! Pixel art animation master!
Local primary school here (in UK) uses MakeCode. They had a lesson making Flappy Bird clones. [It's good to get into cloning early I guess? 🤣 ]
Here goes Microsoft trying to take over the world again.

Try scratch 3.0
it's a good software and very similar to make code
@@swinoob616 thanks for the heads-up!
Gdevelop is another alternative (it's free).
@@daniel-zh9nj6yn6y - cheers mate! She loved MakeCode until the recent problems and she liked GDevelop but we're going to try Scratch after a quick look at it.
@@uusfiyeyh - bingo! She loves this. Thanks for your suggestion.
FABULOUS! thanks for an amazing tutorial!
I followed your last video on this too, was a great introduction to it!
There is a block based editor that also can generate actual Rust code for some reason. :)
Sweet I love your longer videos.
now this is awesome, I'm going to improve on this design flow, when done I'll let ya know. Excellent!!
So this reminds me of the Scratch?
I was thinking the same thing.
it literally looks like an exact clone lmao
dat old mit thingy \
thanks man, very well explained video!!!

Looks like Scratch
Looks like -scratch- an hell of blocks used by lazy people scared by text for some reason

It’s based on Google Blockly which was inspired by Scratch, and is in turn now the base of modern Scratch
They do have a phycontroller to connect to your phone?
Can u make a video on how to make stairs and ladders? I really wanna know
can you have more buttons than simply a and b?
no

makecode is basically scratch on steroids
plus is basically JavaScript/Python
Too bad you can only export to arcade devices and not on your laptop. Great tool though!
Watch ur videos just to know new software and exesting new things to learn
2:00 (starts)
Is there an Android version of this?
this is interesting
Make Code inspired by Scratch
@5:38 "Pac-person"
I wish you had done this a little slower for kids with autism... It's a great project.
nice
An actual TUTORIAL on Gamefromscratch???? How much did M$ pay for this?
Not Pac-Man should be called Mike-Man
I win? 525?
Nice cheers friends , anyone dont like to make games here :D

Just use scratch
So this is scratch EX
Is this is a clickers game
Is it wise to make a game you can't win yourself 😂
💀
ew cloud
*That's not programming. Devs pretty noobs.*
It's for kids and early teens...
