With the settings (aka saving) extension, is it possible to save specific items and specific amounts, and is it able to save the area youre in (like ut/dr) asking for myself. if no, can you guys make a better saving extension? @richard i think youre the main guy to ask for this stuff so uh yea ---

I tried to make an old rpg game before and the way i handled the inventory was as a number array with numbers being what item was there (0 being none, 1 being a potion or smth, so on). It works well for the old rpg styles with limited inventories. However, for a modern take, you could just make a big array of just the ammounts of items, like i visualized here: ![1000090561](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/f/0/f0e7df7d5f726febaadf5c282a2d8b14c804c4d1.jpeg) This is just an idea tho. Feel free to do as you find best. ---

Sarge made a better saving extension! You can find it on awesome arcade, I think it’s called “better-settings”. ---

> [@Reflectfr](#): > > is it possible to save specific items and specific amounts I may be misunderstanding, but I believe yes; you could save a number for the amount, an image for the item, and a string for the name. > [@Reflectfr](#): > > is it able to save the area youre in For the most part no; You can’t save a scene, tilemap, or set of sprites, likely because it’s just a lot of data to recreate. You could save specific elements manually, though, like saving a number indicating which tilemap the program should load or an array with the positions of the sprites onscreen. LMK if this is what you meant! ^v^ ---

Does anyone know if theres a tutorial or example on how to use that extension? I’m curious because I’m making a Fnaf 6 style game? ps. Man I love it how Richard just doesn’t reply to half his pings. ---

Also w tutorial on how to make a tutorial in MakeCode very useful. Once i get back in to Github also please help @AlexK where do the tile assets show up in the tilemap gallery I cant seem to find them in any of the folders. I made a asset pack here is the code if you need it ---

Awesome Arcade is a website by `@UnsignedArduino` which holds a bunch of extensions and tools in one, easily searchable place! Hers the link: [https://awesome-arcade.vercel.app](https://awesome-arcade.vercel.app) It doesn’t have everything, but it has a lot of useful stuff. I don’t think it’s been updated in a while.
