Is there a way to edit this code? There is a “locked” icon on the side of it. I am fine with using Typescript, but how can I unlock it?

Also, where is the “`ask string`” code? I can’t find it.

You dit it here:

The files that have a locked icon are not editable in the project. This will show up in several difference circumstances - in this case, the file is one of our builtin files, so there’s no way to edit it in the browser – it’s part of the code we change when we update the editor.

In the link you sent, I didn’t edit any of the library code – there was already an exposed hook I added a while back to allow for the sound to be changed. In that case, the `winSound` was configurable with a function `game.setGameOverSound(false, music.powerDown)` that would modify the variable – this is similar to how you register an event with `sprites.onOverlap` to add behavior for when two sprites are on top of eachother.

Oh, it’s under `prompt.ts` in the `game` package
