MakeCode Arcade Resources

Here are some resources for MakeCode Arcade programming:

Forum

People can post their games and ask questions on the MakeCode Arcade Forum . Visit the Help section to ask questions, visit Show & Tell to see examples of games, or see Game Design for feedback on gameplay and mechanics.

Extensions

There are a bunch of extensions that can add functions to the MakeCode Arcade environment. Some are accessed through the Advanced->Extensions menu block, but for other useful function you just have to know what they are called and enter it in the search field at the top of the Extensions page.

Here is a list of Awesome Arcade Extensions that someone put together.

I'll try and list the extensions that could be useful for peoples' projects here, with descriptions of what features they add.
