It wasn’t that long ago that we were talking about MakeCode Arcade. If you are not a fan of video game creation you might not be very interested, but if you have this bug awake and want to know a little more about developing experiences for gamers from all over the world, this app is ideal.
The premise of MakeCode Arcade is simplicity. The tool combines Javascript, Python, and the use of blocks of text to represent the routines and other elements that make a game playable. In reality you have many examples and tutorials so you can learn virtually from scratch in a user-friendly environment.
MakeCode Arcade is coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series
And beware, that its simplicity does not confuse you. It is not the typical tool for drag and drop or with predefined sprites and music in the RPG Maker style. It’s a serious sequel where the protagonist is the code and not the already configured blocks.
The point is, Microsoft has announced that the app is also available for consoles, not just Windows 10. If you search for it on the Xbox itself, it doesn’t appear, so you have to set it to download from this link then choose your console to install remotely. At least for now that’s the only way available.
We tested it and really, more than an app, it’s a kind of direct access to a website optimized for the Xbox controller, so much so that it opens with the Edge browser if you use it. activate.
