The Competition
The Competition
I go to code ninjas, a program where you learn to code for two hours a week. And one day, Kayla, Head of the code ninjas Building i go To, announced that code ninjas was holding a coding competition. The game had to be both drone themed and made using makecode(a platform i have never used before.) There would be 8 winners picked from the 8 regions. The winners would get to go to dallas and see a drone show. I immediately got to work on my game.
Coding Droney Vs Evil Drone
Coding Droney Vs Evil Drone
after the first week of coding, Kayla asked to see my game so far. I showed her and she was amazed at how far i had gotten. She was thinking that i had maybe gotten a background done so far, But I had already gotten evil drone and droney ready and was working on the laser. over the two month perriod, i did not play my Nintendo switch or play on my computer. Instead, I only coded my game. It took my a while to find a name, but i eventually decided on droney vs evil drone.
The Boss of Code Ninjas

After i was pretty much complete. Kayla asked if i wanted to show my game to her boss. I said yes, and she sent it. When she sent it, the boss was at dinner, so he showed it two his friends, who played it for a while. the bosses feedback was, "even if you don't win, remember that you made adults laugh and cry with your game." after that i really got my hopes up.

My whole family came to dallas(mom, dad, and my sister) we stayed at a nice, one room hotel. When we went to the stadium where the drone show would be held, we went inside, and met the other winners. We helped set up the drones. we then went to the national video game museum and had pizza. When we went back to the stadium, we got to play our games on the Jumbotron. then it was time for the drone show. we each got to design one minute of the drone show. I had mine be of my game. some of the others also had their segment of the show display their game.
