MakeCode extension for supporting multiple levels in games

Open this page at https://juliekol.github.io/pxt-levels/

Overview

This extension adds support for multiple levels in your game. For example, in a platformer, one tilemap will display the first level. When the player beats this level, we would move to the next level that will be displayed using a different tilemap.

• Each level is designated using an integer. The first level is 1.

• For every level you support, you must add the on start level block. If your game has three levels, you must add three such blocks, one for each level.

• The best practice is to add the block start level 1 in the on start block of your game.
