@Kikketer I think you might enjoy my arcade-state-transitions extension:

> **[GitHub - riknoll/arcade-state-transitions: A minimal state machine extension for Microsoft...](https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-state-transitions)**
>
> A minimal state machine extension for Microsoft MakeCode Arcade

which is possibly my favorite extension i’ve ever made and yet i’m now realizing i never posted about it on the forum…

Edit: I have corrected this oversight [[Extension] arcade-state-transitions](https://forum.makecode.com/t/extension-arcade-state-transitions/42480)
