I’m a teacher and I’m using the arcade in my classes. One of my students can’t edit the screen, everything goes black in the simulator. She can only see something when she clicks on the menu, the screen flashes and the scenario she chose quickly appears. This error only happens on her account, when logged out the program works normally.

@milhoprof could you create a share link for the program when you’re logged in and paste it here? That would help me diagnose what’s going wrong. Here’s how to create a share link:

@milhoprof Thanks for reporting this. I’m the sign in/cloud sync dev on MakeCode. I’d like to follow up with you to troubleshoot this issue offline. If it’s ok, I’ll send you a message with my Microsoft email.

@milhoprof the reason the screen is black in this share link is because the pxt-raycasting extension was added to the project. Removing it will let you see the background image!
