16 bit option for games

Arcade
1

255 colors and 2x the screen size

2

It would make games easier to make.

3

This has been discussed before… Not viable due to hardware memory limitations

4

They could make new hardware that can support it and I am NOT talking about hardware.

You have to have hardware support in mind. The display is not limiting the colors, the memory is. Besides, implementing more colors would require a complete overhaul of the internal infrastructure for MakeCode.

Changing your screen size is already possible, using this code:

namespace userconfig {
    export const ARCADE_SCREEN_WIDTH = 320
    export const ARCADE_SCREEN_HEIGHT = 240
}

No it would be a complete overhaul in circuitry and adding a option to switch it to 16 bit.
