# Hello and welcome again to another episode of... ![Screenshot 2025-03-27 at 8.32.46 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/a/b/abc5a0d28965102a7f4be30a809d25bc4576eb2c.png) ### Today we have a special. It's a very special special about a special. So let's dive in! # 15 New Features in the NEWEST Makecode ## 1. Dark Mode The long awaited dark mode is finally here! Along with other themes, Dark mode is now available in both the editor and the home screen. ## 2. Updated Games Speaking of the home screen, we now, have new games in the Game Jam gallery, featuring Rhythm Code, The Joy of Pixels, Games by the Fire, and many more!! ## 3. Infinite tiles Yes, folks. No more tile limit! Now you can go crazy and make full blown platformers with 1000+ tiles. (Have fun with that) This is a especially big feature for games like Hebes or Diego the Spheroid: Illusions as it adds more options for varying worlds with different tilesets. ## 4. Project History Tired of getting your super-cool projects nuked? Well, this is exactly what it sounds like. Time travel in your editor to the times where your blocks weren't gone! Now thats some cool machine. ## 5. New Font!! For most Microsoft Users, Segoe UI Black is the standard font! Now it gets to Makecode Arcade too! _the following two are for the newbies_ ## 6. New tutorial layout Very small change, but a change nonetheless. This will improve the starting experience for new users and attract them even more! (Yes, we want another @Jedi and @CopySprite) ## 7. A tour! Yes. 10% opening discount! Another 20% if you're a newbie! THE EDITOR TOUR! * * * * * * ## 8. New Sound Effects~~ Ah...Makecode ASMR...enjoy the sounds as you repeatedly spawn and despawn blocks(that is-if you're audio is on...) ## 9. Nested Blocky Borders! Can't see how many triangle conditionals you put in that if block? Introducing... BORDERS!!! TADA!!! :confetti: ## 10. Keyboard Yes, you heard me right. Now, we wont have to use those updownleftrightbuttons _or arrow keys, as they call themselves,_ to navigate through a on-screen keyboard. Now, we just straight up type it in! (yes, using **THE ACTUAL KEYBOARD** ## 11. Sprite Packs Ever dreamt of _more_ default assets? It's AdaFruit to the rescue!! Now with added images of a robot (not you, @discobot), a dragon??, googles, some pac-man-ish thingy, and what I personally feel is a notsogood guy. ## 12. faster running speeds You won't notice this one. It's small, but a feature nonetheless. Hopefully this will solve @goldtopaz 's problem of waiting for 20 minutes :eyeroll: ## 13. Community Games Let's be honest. Salvo, Attack of the serpents and others _are_ cool, but we are kinda tired of them right?...BOOM ADD IN CARD DELVER ADD IN TMF 3 and there you have it, a complete make ~~code~~ **over** of the Community games section! This has yet to be done, so stay tuned on that! ## 14. JS Code limit _Ahh...what a day, lemme pop into Javascript and adjust the screen size of this super huge- WHAT??!?!! I can't switch back???? ### NOOOOOO_ oooo oooo oof...BUT NOT AGAIN, thanks mods! Now, the limit of lines you can convert back to blocks is gone! Yippee! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * But now...for the last feature, the best of all, ## 15. Browser Events!!!!!! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/c/4/c4b557ad7b4bfbd52978c5eb1f2e3011590e3c8c.png) Ask, ask, and ask, AND WE GET!! The mods, (thanks again), have added keyboard and mouse support! I’ve tried them, and it’s really like never before! Now you can make games where the **WHOLE KEYBOARD** is utilised. We all love that don’t we? And furthermore, a mouse is thrown in for good measure! ~~wait why do u have a rat no not at my face I MEANT COMPUTER MOUSE AHHHHH~~ Check it all out here! > **[Wow!](https://arcade.makecode.com/S70477-92452-78561-59078)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

The art reminds me of something… I’m not sure what but I think it involved the color orange. ---
