  • https://ide.code.game/
  • Tools that make it easy to do amazing things
  • Tutorials are being made.
  • Does it work in a browser and output an exe?
    • Code created in blocks is converted to python and js.
    • I wonder if they make an exe from Python, or if they bundle the JS and it’s electron-like.
  • src
    • CodeMao has a type, errors exist.

    • I found Scratch to be superior in the ability to draw costumes. Once saved, it is a bitmap image and cannot be changed from pass to pass.

    • What I like about CodeMao

      • Able to resize the screen.

      • Easy to create scene transitions

      • Expansion blocks are available for cloud lists, GameAI, physics engines, etc.

      • Some minor features such as folding code, easy to read comments, else if can be made in one block, etc.

  • I also made a game when I got home https://ide.code.game/we/8984

    • Scene management is attached to the original.
      • Once I made the game, I wanted to add a title screen later.
        • I couldn’t figure out how to add a scene to the foreground after the fact.
        • I couldn’t even figure out how to set the initial display scene.
        • So I created a title screen after the game scene and tried to copy and paste the contents of the game screen into the scene behind it.
        • Error message that the function name is duplicated even though the original function has been deleted, and reloading the IDE does not cure the problem.
        • Even if you change the function name, the function call block cannot freely edit the name of the function to be called, so you have to recreate the whole function.
          • tiresome
