I would like to add an image in my arcade game. Can I upload? Can I transform it to numbers with some application and copy-paste to the javascript tab?

Any way instead of… paint it?  
Tks

Sadly, you can’t upload an image in MakeCode Arcade.

But, Adafruit does have a tutorial on converting a `.png` to a JavaScript array by using this tool:  
[https://riknoll.github.io/pxt-arcade-asset-tool/](https://riknoll.github.io/pxt-arcade-asset-tool/)  
You can see the tutorial here at:

> **[Next Level MakeCode Arcade Games](https://learn.adafruit.com/next-level-makecode-arcade-games/asset-tool)**
>
> You can use external pixel art tools and the unofficial MakeCode Arcade asset tool to add fancy graphics to your games! Plus, learn how to make arpeggiated background music (BGM), and light up the PyGamer and PyBadge NeoPixel strip to count off...
