Here’s the [game](https://forum.makecode.com/t/ink-it-up/27832) of the week  
This was a super awesome game and @Luke made some wonderful artwork for their version.  
Overall I thought this game was awesome. Great job @pecan4pi .

@MeatballDev you and your 8bit news have angered me deeply we will see who’s better​😈.

@IMakeCode just released his mega man fan game and…

This isn’t the game of the week I just thought it was super cool.

@SoftTalker makes a good point with this post in the: The forums are dying why? topic.

What? MakeCode isn’t a fantasy console.  
And I think @Sarge agrees.

> Function blocks should be dropdown choices of the functions you’ve made instead of making it where you have to open the function tab/drawer/whateverthey’recalled, kind of like how variables are.

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 it’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.

Well that’s been this weeks Channel 0 MakeCode News as always good luck on your MakeCode’n  
@RobbyZero out.
