it uses pointer lock, where your pointer stays in the middle of the screen, like it gets sent to the middle every frame, and it has a chance to move one frames amount. for a cool demo you can try it on turbowarp, it has a pointerlock extension, there you do enable pointerlock then you make a sprite forever goto mouse cursor, and youll understand what i mean. ---

Why are you using a class if it’s meant to only have a single instance? If you use it like this, you’ll have to put in the player every time you want to change its properties. Better would be to create a dropdown using an enum instead of the get/set dropdown functionality. You also never create the player, even in the init function, and you don’t have a block that creates a player, so there’s no way to create a player in blocks! Just get rid of the player class entirely and turn it into just variables and functions in the namespace, then use the enum stuff to make the drop down. Here’s the guide to block definitions, scroll down to the Enums section to see how you can use them! > **[Defining blocks](https://makecode.com/defining-blocks)** > > This section describes how to annotate your MakeCode APIs to expose them in the Block Editor. And here’s a small example I made: > **[enum blocks example](https://arcade.makecode.com/S97080-47727-01640-94396)** > > Look in the example.ts function and see how that looks in blocks. ---

i used a class with everything being static because it allows getters and setters, and doesn’t need instances ---

@VoxelMaster64 Heres an idea Instead of the default picker, you should replace it with the shadow picker so that you can make your own tile, and it is 16x16 instead of a 120x160 background ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/b/2/b2bd5203ed88dd239df48db3b2d2e48cb9dc251e.png) ---

I kinda made Ai do that for me cuz I was in a rush. should probably also say this, the extension WILL BE PAUSED ☹. I am creating a… well… let’s not spoil anything, but it is a beautiful add on to the past voxel update ---

well if you want the create your own image here ```typescript //% image.shadow=screen_image_picker //% block export function foo(image: Image): void { } } ``` It would look like this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/1/1/11eba0d05e376f516c1d8b2b1910cdc8ed679fd6.png) It would look like this in the blocks ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/0/8/08970b7bbafcda638d89c3a00fea5aba486cdb3b.png) and if you need help with any more inputs let me know I made a entire Google doc about how to make a extension to help me remember ---
