[Corgio] add a way to set the sprite used #768

Open titimoby opened 5 years ago

titimoby commented 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Corgio is a great way to show kids how to create a little game very quickly. But once the basics are done, they are not able to customize their player.

Describe the solution you'd like There is already something to get the sprite used: we need now a way to set the sprite.

Describe alternatives you've considered Alternatives are out of Corgio's scope. You can always code it by yourself but you will lose all the very nice things Corgio brings.

@jwunderl FYI

Originally, I had Corgio being a bit more modular (letting you change images and more settings), but I trimmed a bunch of that when merging it in here to keep it minimal / minimize the possibility of breaking people's code when changing it (with the side benefit of making it easier to drop in to the courses).

Plan now is to incorporate something along the lines of the feature listed in https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues/758#issuecomment-463427603 as a starting point, and see how it can be extended from there. I'll be working on that pretty soon :)

The plan sounds good! If you need help/beta test/pop corn... ;)

Old bug. closing.

titimoby commented 4 years ago

If you close this bug and the one referenced as #758 just because it is old, is it time to just close all makecode products because there are even older ?

abchatra commented 4 years ago

Feel free to do a PR. We don’t have bandwidth to address this any time soon unless someone volunteers.

I never asked for a quick solution, I'm patient, even with enterprise backed projects. But if you close an issue, no one will ever be able to have a try at it. Having bugs and feature request never made a product poor.
