Hello! I’m here to talk about the Makecode Arcade editor’s performance issues. So, I think some options to toggle visual effects should be added to the editor. I’ve noticed that the little animation for putting a block between other blocks causes a huge lag spike, at least for me. So, moderators, could you please consider this for an update? Thank you, @AgentBoom. ---

This is one of the most frustrating things about a block editor. If you want to make it less laggy, you can collapse blocks you aren’t currently working on. This might help. ---

One thing I do is to use the scroll wheel when moving up which helps with movement. Zooming out also reduced movement distance. Some actually useful solutions: -Blocks of code can be minimised by right clicking on it which helps lag (I always do this with arrays and character animations). Making and organising code with functions helps to do this. -Cleaning up unused blocks lying around (tidying your workspace!) -If you… here’s some tips that i like doing i have quite a lot of experience with lag lol card delver at 7000 blocks rn 💀💀💀💀 ---

Just a quick question… Why did you @BotWarrior post that twice? Also @AgentBoom that would make a great update!
