In Microsoft Arcade, I created two fun sprites for my game. The first sprite is a playful cat named Ocho, and the second is a friendly person named Coco. I designed them to move around the screen, so they can explore, interact, and make the game more exciting.

Make the player: Create a hero sprite, let the controller move it, and keep it on the screen.
Add things to collect and avoid: Use projectiles to make clovers (good) and bees (bad) appear every few seconds.
Set rules: When the hero touches a clover, it disappears. When the hero touches a bee, the player loses a life.
Customize the look: Draw your own sprites for the hero, clover, bee, and background to make the game fun.

We had to work in pairs to code and create a webpage on GitHub for our presentation. Our webpage is about the topic we chose, and we used coding to design and organize the information. GitHub helped us work together and share our progress while building the project.

First, I opened MakeCode Arcade and started a new project. I added the ages together using a variable called “total.” After all the ages were entered, I used a show string or splash code to display the total age on the screen. Finally, I tested the program by entering sample ages to make sure it added everything correctly.

First, I created a spaceship sprite for the player and made it move left and right using the controller. Then we programmed the ship to shoot projectiles when the A button is pressed. Next, we added enemy sprites that appear from the right side of the screen and move left. Finally, we made the game keep score when enemies are destroyed and take away a life when an enemy hits the player.

Mod your game to include more sprites that pull out other
parts of speech from the sentence:
• Nouns – person, place, thing (pirate, Caribbean, Jack)
• Verbs – action words (sing, dance, believe)
• Adjectives – description words (hot, lazy, sick)
• Pronouns – stand in for nouns (I, you, he, she, it)

For the military time calculator, we had to make a program that changes normal 12 hour time into 24 hour time. We used variables for the hour, minute, and whether it was AM or PM. Then the program showed the converted time on the screen in military format like “14:30.”

First, I made the program ask the user to enter the total bill amount. Then, we programmed it to multiply that amount by 0.2 to find the 20% tip. Finally, the program showed the tip amount on the screen so the user could easily see how much to pay.
