Creating Basic Games with MakeCode Arcade

MakeCode Arcade is a free website where you can create retro-style 2D games. This site is a block/text coding-based game creation platform developed by Microsoft. In this course, we aim to help even those who are new to coding create complete games simply by connecting blocks. The games we'll create together are: 🍕 First, a pizza eating game where you find and eat pizza, 🧩 Second, a maze escape game where you find your way through, 🍓 Third, a strawberry catching game where you catch falling strawberries. By creating these three games, you'll learn the basic principles of games one by one, such as sprites, collisions, movement, scoring, and backgrounds. So, are you ready? Let's start game coding together with joy! 🎮
