This extensions adds blocks to help you create your own carnival games in MakeCode Arcade using throwable balls, extra timer functions, and extra game-over options.

• Setting Up a Ball

let myBall: Ball = null
myBall = carnival.create(assets.image`ball-yellow`, SpriteKind.Player)
myBall.setPosition(80, 90)
myBall.controlBallWithArrowKeys(true)
myBall.setIter(50)
myBall.setTraceMulti(carnival.Tracers.Full)

This snippet sets up a ball called myBall and allows you to control it with arrow keys. You'll also see that it has a trace marker that's set to 50% value.

• Variable Power

let theTarget: Sprite = null
let throwBall: Ball = null
let myBall: Ball = null
scene.setBackgroundImage(assets.image`wildWest`)
myBall = carnival.create(assets.image`ball-yellow`, SpriteKind.Player)
myBall.setPosition(80, 90)
let statusbar = statusbars.create(120, 6, StatusBarKind.Health)
statusbar.setColor(5, 10)
statusbar.setBarBorder(1, 1)
statusbar.setPosition(80, 113)
let myBooth = sprites.create(assets.image`booth`, SpriteKind.Booth)
myBall.controlBallWithArrowKeys(true)
myBall.setIter(10)
myBall.setTraceMulti(carnival.Tracers.Cross)
myBall.variablePower(statusbar, 30, 50, 100)

This snippet adds to the code above by creating a statusbar that is used as a visual indicator of the power at any given time. The power varies between 30% and 50% of full power.

• Tossing Projectile Balls

controller.A.onEvent(ControllerButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
    throwBall = carnival.createProjectileBallFromSprite(assets.image`ball-blue`, myBall)
})

This snippet creates a ball of type projectile that emits from the parent ball using its angle and power settings.

• Timer

carnival.startTimer()

This sets a timer that counts up throughout the game, or until carnival.startTimer() is called again.

• Countdown

carnival.startCountdownGame(15, carnival.WinTypes.Timed)

This starts a countdown that launches an endgame state when completed. You can choose from win, lose, best time, best score, or multiplayer.

• Game

    carnival.customGameOverExpanded("Great Job!", effects.confetti, music.powerUp, carnival.ScoreTypes.HScore, 0)

This allows for a custom game over message under circumstances of your choosing. You can change the message, the background effect, the music, the way score is judged (win, lose, time, score, or multiplayer.) You can also pass in a custom "score" to for judging success.

• Label

carnival.addLabelTo("Target Practice", carnival.Areas.Top, 4)

This adds a label to your circus booth, using a predetermined location near the top, middle, or bottom of the play area.
