  1. Could you please consider doing a stream in TS/JS or Python?

  2. Is there any simple way in which a sprite can just pass through any other sprite? Kind of like with walls, but you can push the other sprite around.

22

we didn’t get to answer your question on stream, but I think your code is about there! If you add the auto destroy flag, they’ll get destroyed when they leave the screen

How do make a level menu? I need this for one of my platformers

Is there any way to make rhythm game maps? Like it’s really hard because (at least from what I see) there are no ways to make a fully planned out map, and there is no way to listen out for a tone.

31

You should make a way for us to be able to edit a published arcade. Like if it’s published, there will be some privacy settings, like ‘Anyone can edit this’, ‘Only you can edit this’ or ‘Only people with the link’. And then people will be able to edit the finished product without having to post a completely new game every update.

32

You can do that with a GitHub link. Make a change to your game, push changes, and it updates everywhere.

33

That’s nice! I wish they could have it in arcade, but its really nice they have it already!
