🕹️ I've had lots of fun playing with #MakeCodeArcade recently. Just finished a little Flappy Bird clone (except it's Flappy Duck) and currently working on Tetris. (Hoping to get round to making some guide-sheets soon too!)

I didn't - I guess that was created by Elon Musk's grok. I guess it doesn't have the safeguards I mentioned or it did and now he has removed them as is his way.

I do pay for this stuff and have used it. Once you get past the novelty and fun, I don't know what I'd use the videos for. The clips are 8s long. I don't see how the videos can be illegal - there are safeguards - some prompts are rejected by the tool eg if you try to create a real celeb.

After 2 days of sharing ideas and working together in different workshops with #DSH, I can say that the input from our comp sci community is what makes DSH so special.
Thank you to everyone involved, you are amazing!
