Nice, I like seeing everyones takes on coding different things like the controller thumbsticks.
When I post my answer/reply to the challenge, I’m going to be sharing some bundles and tricks for the thumbsticks.

Better late than never, here are some expressions for using on controller thumbsticks.
Answer
Calculate the Stick Force with X and Y:
Math.max(Math.abs(A),Math.abs(B))
Calculate the Angle of Stick X and Y:
(((90-(Math.atan2(A,B)/Math.PI)*180)%360)+360)%360
I also ended up updating some of the controller code in my controller example,
so here is a nice way move the player in a top down game.

Update:
Before explaining the challenge, I just want to say I’m slowing down on these challenges. I’m still going to be doing multiple challenges each month, but it will not be on a weekly schedule anymore. It was a good month and a half but I’m getting busy with more projects and well frankly I’m running out of ideas for challenges. Doing 3 challenges a week made me go through my list of challenges pretty quickly. 
But also I want to try to get more users to try out the challenges and give more time to solve it.
Unlocking Doors
May 14th, 2024
Difficulty: Beginner
(Rules)
Show a screenshot of code in the player and the door on how you would use collecting keys to open multiple doors in a single level. There can only be 1 of each object type so you must use clones of the same keys and doors and unlock one at a time in any order.

I used a somewhat simple version, but can make a better one if needed.

hi @JR01 ! I am on a team for flowjam 2025, but I don’t know how to make an enemy attack the player
Please make a new post about the issue and with the game link.
This topic was made so I could make a coding challenge for people to do in flowlab.

Beginner Challenge:
“Coint Counter”
Share a screenshot of making a coint counter. When collecting a coin, the counter should count up by 1. When you move to the next level, you should still have the coin count from the previous level. And finally, when you restart the current level, the coint count should reset for not finishing the level. This can be done with several number blocks, collision blocks, and some global or save blocks. (Tip: Never save/set and load/get numbers from the same save block or same global block, use multiple blocks with the same name for this.)

what if it were to be rings instead of coins?
