There are a few problems with this idea. #1 have you ever duplicated a function block? How about a control block that you already have. You may have noticed that it turns grey. #2 itā€™s easy to just make a new function with that name and just drag your code to the new block. #3 IDK three just sounds like we needed three reasons. Last but not least a [dev log](https://forum.makecode.com/t/diego-the-spheroid-illusions-dev-log/25179/12) that started in December seems to be going pretty well.

honestly, i agree with @SoftTalkerā€™s mini-comparison with scratch and makecode. makecode may have more useful scripts, but it doesnt really have competition for its graphic capabilities. in scratch (which may be more complicated) you can insert your own, images, and audios. in makecode, you canā€¦ make 16-bit thingsā€¦ and until makecode gets more editor updates, its not gonna get a lot more people into it. and i love the engine, its a very good kickstarter for beginning coders. and its ready for extra stuff, but theres not a lot of people contributing anymore. ---
