What is MakeCode?
Formerly PXT – Programming eXperience Toolkit Editor to write code for the micro:bit.
A graphical, beginner-friendly drag-and-drop code editor similar to Scratch. It works online, in the browser.
You can see the editor is made up of different sections. You make your code in the
Code
Area, dragging out
blocks from the
Code
Drawer. You can immediately see your code results in the
micro:bit
simulator. At the
bottom is where you download and save your project.
Next, we will take a closer look at how to use the
Options Bar
for doing other things.
