you should make this able to split screen the ray casting and make it where you can change the screen to split horizontally screen ---

The raycasting extension draws directly to the screen, and the performance would suffer so it’s not currently possible to do (and it most likely won’t be implemented). > [@AqeeAqee](#): > > This raycasting ext. is drawing directly to the screen, and not considered split screen when designing.

This is SO awesome! Can I ask why this hasn’t been integrated beyond an extension and added as a default code block/category? ---

@shoryuken we try to be very picky about what blocks we add to the default categories. Adding more is nice for power users, but it can be pretty intimidating to someone who is using arcade for the first time. That’s why we break extra functionality like this out into extensions. I should probably make this an “official” extension, though, since people seem to like it. Then it will at least show up in the default list in the extension page. ---

Does this work with more than 2 players? Would this be too resource-expensive to attempt on hardware? ---

@Salex currently it’s only two players, but I’ll add support for more at some point! should be fine on hardware ---

@richard do you think you could add more effect blocks into the split screen extension pls? Like a “shake split camera by (num) pixels for (num) seconds” block? ---

@richard, I’m currently making a game that uses this extension, but whenever I make the split screen camera follow a sprite, the game crashes.
