Tynker Extensions

Are you ready for a new Tynker challenge?  There’s a hidden world of new extensions that will let you add new coding capabilities to Tynker. Let’s see what’s possible!

Enable An Extension

Think of the Tynker Extensions System like a toppings bar. Let’s sprinkle on some goodies to Tynker. You can find starter templates in the +Create Project menu. BTW. To view all Extensions while you're coding in the Workshop, click More (+) at the bottom of the code palette. 

Pen Blocks 

Actors draw lines and shapes as they move — inspired by the classic programming language Logo.

Physics Blocks 

A simple way to create games or simulations with gravity, collisions, and more! Think: Angry Birds and Marble Madness!

Sound Blocks

Play music with code! Or add sound effects! Tynker’s brand new music tool supports MIDI and more. Upload your own custom tracks! Rock on!

Synth Blocks

Create your own sound effects and instruments with code: you can create funky disco beats, crunchy dubstep drops, glitchy chiptunes, or instruments from any style of music you can imagine!

Augmented Reality

Capture video and photos from your computer's webcam and use them in your games and project — make Tynker interactive in an all-new way!

Platformer

Want to make jumping games in the style of Super Mario or Sonic? With Tynker, creating your own games is a snap.

Robotics and Hardware 

Tynker is compatible with a few robotics systems, too. To create a project that uses one, use +Create Project then search for the product. Here's what's supported: - BBC micro:bit - LEGO WeDo - HiFive Inventor Kit - Parrot Drones - Philips Hue
