The extension support up to 6 sprites (idk maybe if you want to add NPCs) This is my first real extension!

This is a useful extension, I haven’t found any bugs with it! 😃 I’d say you could add different constraint ‘modes’ that happen when the sprites hit opposite sides. For example: - The default current mode, where the camera stops to force them to walk together - A ‘slow’ mode, where one sprite pushing on the right side of the screen could slowly drag the camera and the other sprite to the right - A ‘fast’ mode, where whichever sprite is hitting the wall takes control of the camera and pulls the other sprite along at full speed These are just camera centering methods I’ve seen in other engines that could be useful : ) ---

Nice! My idea is to make it so player 1 has “priority” and can make the camera push the others to stay in place. ---

Yeah bugs? I found one. Considering sprites here are intended to stay in screen you can push one of the blobs into a wall and make them clip inside it: (I did get it to work but failed to replicate it for photos) ---

@CodingGrizzlyBear , I think that if Player 1 moves out of the camera and Player 2 is under a hitbox, when the camera moves Player 2 is pulled into the hitbox. ---

Im surprised someone actually found it _fun_, but I found that if you get stuck you could just kidnap- I mean, _gently nudge_ them so that the comer pushes them in the direction you want. ---

This is cool. Is there any way to combine this with the split screen extension? So the camera tries to center across every player but as soon as one player can’t move forward then it splits. But then it reunites when that player comes back. That way we can have the ultimate multiplayer camera feature unless if MakeCode Arcade adds separate screens for every player. ---
