umm… I want makecode to share and autosave projects with more images (I think the max is like 5 512x512 images.)

Also, I want online variables, tilemap-based variables, and dither brush (and a few other features that I don’t recall).

We will not have online variables. The game systems you can place your games on do not usually have wifi modules nor do they support cellular data. So no, you will not get online variables.

Lol my comment is 8 months old now… Before online came… But I still want support for online variables or [something like] the radio extension, but online. And @thegreatone with the current online multiplayer as @danger_kitty mentioned, the MakeCode team has proven that they don’t necessarily care if _every simulator feature_ has hardware support, so it’s still possible that this may exist in the future.

You can save the tile map it just is complex and takes up a lot of space

24 Colors instead of the pathetic 16.

That’s not possible due to the way MakeCode is built and hardware support. But ignoring that… 24? That seems like a pretty random number

I just thought 24 was a simple, even number after 16.

Hey, with the new color palletes, 16 is looking pretty sweet.
