I really want to add more to my game but MakeCode keeps making up errors like that I can’t use the == operator with true and false statements which is really annoying. I’ve tried everything to get rid of it, version history, duplicating the project, using the project’s png, creating a share link and remaking the chunk of code that’s broken, nothing worked. ---

that happens to me when i try and copy paste too much of different parts of my code to other parts. i cant remember exactly how i fixed it but i think it might have been creating a new variable, but nor from the drop down menu and then initialising it in my start block before i moved it somewhere else ---

If I start making a mini menu then I get these errors: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/d/8/d86eed9ce5b1e9bd3ae98e4fc08d638e78a86756.png) The was copied from mini menu examples. ---

it looks like the track is tearing down the lamborghinis (but good art, but the smoke makes it looks like the car broke) ---

The car driver is ignoring the engine breaking apart 😄 but I changed it to drift smoke, because it fits the theme better. ---

The poll has closed (I want to get started on putting the animations in). Mario will be in for sure, and Yoshi might be in if I have time (I have a couple custom characters). Also, I meant to say “For @BlueYoshi507” on the bottom thing, it didn’t appear for whatever reason.
