I don’t think thats possible with makecode as its designed to run on physical devices that don’t have mice attached to them : (

It is currently not possible for the simulator to know the mouse position. Plus, how to handle touchscreens, and when there are more than two touches happening simultaneously?

4

Maybe if we customize jacdac? Awkward programming and getting it to simulate, but possibly possible.

5

this might be coming in the future :wink:

browser only though

6

And plugging a mouse into the pins on a hardware? (does arcade hardware have pins? I don’t own any)

7

@DZY04 nope, no hardware support planned. this one will be browser only

8

So you’re saying that you could introduce browser-only features? Doesn’t that mean you could add more unique colors and make it exclusive to the sim

9

nope! 99% of the code for arcade is shared between the hardware and browser, including all of the image manipulation code. if we were to support more colors, we would have to re-implement huge portions of the game engine for the browser which would be a bad idea

adding a new feature for just the browser is easy though, since it doesn’t require any changes to the code that runs on the hardware.
