Grow Your Game

Go to the MakeCode Arcade editor, and drag-and-drop the starter code onto the screen.

You should see a screen like the picture below, with the emulator on the left, the menu in the middle, and your code on the right.

You create your program by dragging-and-dropping blocks from the menu onto the coding area, and slotting them together - similar to Scratch.

Challenges and Suggestions:

Edit your player sprite - who will be the main character in your game?
Edit your background - where will your game be set?
Click the + symbol at the end of the 'move Sarah with buttons' block - what happens if you change this number? What happens if you make it a minus number?
Can you change the name of your sprite? What else do you need to change to keep the game working?
Look for a block in the Sprites menu that will tell your character to stay on the screen.
