The Retro Arcade game console allows children to create their own games through MakeCode graphical programming. The console offers the ability to define game roles, create different scenery, motion graphics and define the game's plot. It includes built-in sensors that extend the creation of custom games. Children can be inspired by examples of arcade games to learn the basics of programming. The Microsoft MakeCode Arcade environment itself offers a variety of ready-made games, tutorials and courses to help kids create the game they want. The console features a high-resolution 320×240 colour display with fast response times to ensure easy play of even the fastest games.
Children will create games in MakeCode, a graphical programming platform that offers programming tools and lessons divided by different levels of coding. It also has a block editor, text editor and other useful features to help children master the basics of programming. The console is also designed for comfortable operation. Its buttons ensure lightning-fast response and its body, which is made of ABS plastic, will keep children comfortable even during long games. In addition, the game console can be connected to LEGO bricks to enhance its design.
MakeCode Arcade contains a programming environment that is similar to the microbit programming environment. Of course, you can also switch between other programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Programming in blocks is really easy even for children, while Python is suitable for more advanced users who will be introduced to professional programming languages. With the Retro Arcade game console, kids can create their own arcade game that's as close to their imagination as possible.
