- Microsoft Excel is commonly known as a spreadsheet program, but did you know you can program ENTIRE GAMES in it? Turns out there is this thing called Visual Basic For Applications or VBA, and it allows you to program within it! Most people would use this to automate tasks in excel, but I decided to push it to its limit and attempt to create a game within it. Specifically Flappy Bird as I believe it is the titular benchmark game to create when testing out a new engine (or office program).

As someone who uses excel day-to-day for “normal stuff” this was a great watch.
can you port this to powerpoint?
Most likely not, as PowerPoint does not have the ability to have key inputs, and the collision system is so much worse too
@@RealOscarMay I think he was joking
@@REDM0NKEnah he looks like hes serious (ooor idk)
As someone who runs vba scripts for work everyday.... I... didn't even think this was possible. You and the guy who makes full paintings in excel now make my accountant heart happy that my daily operating program could be used for such cool things.
-What programming app are you using?
- i use excel
Wow, it's amazing how Excel can actually make a pretty high-density pixel display.
If you're interested in doing this again at some point, could you try making Super Mario Bros. in Excel? It would probably be even choppier though. 😅
super mario bros special
I think someone made super mario in powerpoint but im not sure
and yes powerpoint also has vba
Im not sure how to control movement of pictures tho but theres probably a way
You could say that you... EXCEL at making games.
Word

This is super impressive and interesting, keep up the good work!
Also I love that amogus is a playable character haha
Dude I love this 😂 great stuff man!
This is criminally underrated
I have actually built several games, with not as much polish as this one, in excel before. I am going to download the game and review the code to see if there is anything I can do to make it run better
oh my, this is brilliance
Flappy sheets
this is insane !!!
Underrated
Get this guy more views
it's work, crazy.
This man could port dead red redemption to atari 2600
Have you heard of the 20 year game jam that will end in 20 years
Skin number 3 is kinda sus 😳
Can't wait for Doom in Excel.
You are amazing, making snake game in VBA is difficult, and you make flappy,
Btw which programming language is better for creating mobile apps and games,
great video!
/im not even half through the vid/
This is so Excel-lent
Hey dude. I know It's really hard to code games there and I'm not even a coder myself, but I was wondering that can you make classic Super Mario game in excel?
I chose super Mario cuz it's like one of the classic old game I know and you don't have to rely much on fps for playing that game. This means you can play that game even if that game is choppy.
You don't have to do it if you can't. I'm just telling you this for the suggestion for your future video.
Anyways, about my feedback of this video, it's actually really great. It's pretty complicated for me to understand every line of codes cuz I'm not a coder as I said. but, it's pretty understandable. I like this video honestly.
Thanks for the comment! :)
Youre not the first person to suggest mario, though honestly, it would be MUCH harder i imagine than flappy bird haha. Not really shown in the video but it was a miracle that this even worked. Anyways glad you enjoyed it!
@@JettLee Ah, I see. So, it's much harder to make Mario? Alright then. I'm not gonna force you to make it if it's not possible. I was just giving you the suggestion for your future video. Thanks for replying tho :)
Now he should make game in Microsoft Word.
Thanks my excel has Crashed :)
Nice
This game is pretty good gues ill spread the Word
EXCELLent!
Now can you remake the whole SMB1 in excel?.. probably couldn't
Dyammmmm❤❤❤😮😮😮
Honestly I really wonder if a 3D game is doable in excel
people have made doom in geometry dash, so its probably possible in something with actual code tbh
probably would crash depending on how good the pc is
Instant sub.
Now the big question is: can it run Doom?
yes, it can.
@@Aether558
I'm pretty sure though that it would not work with a framerate above 0.1, if even Flappy already has problems.
@@Lampe2020 i was joking
@@Aether558
I understand that, should've maybe added a smiley to the end of my message to make that clear :'D
Could double buffering work? Show sheet 1. Game loop draws into sheet 2, at the last moment in the loop show sheet 2, then repeat for sheet 1.
I was thinking about this, and I might try and implement it myself.
So I was curious and downloaded the 'game' you made in excel... Um I can't play it, I tried everything to make it work but quitted after 1 minute, and when I tried to close the window it said "Reference isn't valid" And kept getting that error when I clicked on the "file" or "X"
Plz help TT
genius
🤯🤯🤯
Can this work in windows xp?
you can make games but i dont even know where to begin playing
Its almost perfect.. except *COOOMMIIICCC SAAANNNSSS!*
1:06 you could have said sub also means subscribe and you could have said that's what you should do and also you should have removed the in this case it's subroutine
SHUT UP I JUST WANNA REMIND YOU OF THIS COMMENT
I am making raycasting game in PowerPoint
I'm really trying to get input to work any tips on how to do it?
I made Unreal Engine in Microsoft Excel.
Make doom next
Now do it with DooM
is this possible with google sheets?
But can it run DooM?
yeas
I cant find visual basic, am I doing something wrong?
You need to add the Developer tab to the ribbon menu. But the most simple way to open VBE is to press Alt+F11.
