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~~

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 KEYBOARD11. 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 make14. JS Code limit
