# Microsoft TileCode

[Microsoft TileCode](https://microsoft.github.io/tilecode/) is a game creation app that allows you to design, code, and play games directly on [Microsoft MakeCode Arcade](https://arcade.makecode.com/hardware) devices.  Read more about it in the UIST 2020 paper [TileCode: Creation of Video Games on Gaming Handhelds](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/tilecode-creation-of-video-games-on-gaming-handhelds/).  For more information, see the [Microsoft TileCode project page](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/microsoft-tilecode/).

# Building

TileCode is built using [Microsoft MakeCode Arcade](https://arcade.makecode.com), a web app for programming retro video games in the web browser, with support for a variety of [gaming handhelds](https://arcade.makecode.com/hardware). Once the web app is loaded, click the "import" button on the right side of the screen and then input the URL of this repo to load the TileCode project into MakeCode Arcade.
