While that extension is awesome, I noticed that it only works for vertical min-menus. is there something i’m missing? ---

Yeah… I need to code that in still… sorry. I made that extension a long time ago and I totally forgot that horizontal menus existed. Not it’s kinda hard to figure it out cause I’ve forgotten how it works somewhat. I should probably work on it I guess 😅 ---

Go to “Javascript” then click on the orange tab (forgor the name) below the simulator to open it. Then scroll down until you find the more complex name of the extension. Finally, click the trash button next to it and confirm it to delete it. ---

You need to convert to JavaScript to remove the extension, so make a copy of the project first incase it doesn’t convert back. Then you’ll need… - to remove every block of code from the old extension - convert to JavaScript - find the Explorer drop-down menu underneath the simulator on the left - scroll down till you find the file for the extension - click the little trash icon Then you can convert back to blocks (while crossing your fingers and hoping it works), and add back the correct extension and all the code. Alternatively you could copy/paste your blocks into a new project containing the correct extension, but you’ll need to make sure not to copy any blocks from the old extension because it will prompt you to download that extension before you can paste any of those blocks. Once again reminder to make a copy of the project before doing anything! ---

Hey @richard , could you make it so that there can be an option for the selections/menus to go sideways? (like left–\>right–\>left instead of up–\>down–\>up) This would be great for an upcoming game of mine (although I should probably actually finish one of my games first lol). ---

@VoxelMaster64 the mini menu extension doesn’t use an image, it draws directly to the screen. i implemented it this way in order to save memory so that this extension would work on hardware. that being said, if you wanted to replace the colors in the menu then you could always do something like I describe here in the “Screen Effects” section of this post: > [@Richard's Arcade Tips #2 - Drawing custom stuff with Images](https://forum.makecode.com/t/richards-arcade-tips-2-drawing-custom-stuff-with-images/28400): > > Hey folks!

I’m having a similar issue that @redSprite had with a multiplayer game using separate mini menus. I can get each separate menu to work for players 2-4, but player 1 moves all 4 of the menus at once.

ah, i see the issue! the type of the selection parameter is a string not a menu item, so you just need to compare against the text like so: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/f/4/f47f736b9fdbaa1bdee612094080b13ec1d84798.png) ---
