Hi, I just built the MakeCode Arcade Kiosk booth. Hooked up everything and it runs well. I am trying to figure out how to store students’ games in the MakeCode Arcade Kiosk permanently. When I shut down or reboot the computer, students’ works are lost. Are there ways to make their work saved on the computer? Thanks.
