I like what you guys are building here. And that is an incredibly amazing background. ---

THAT BACKGROUND IMAGE IS HECKINā€™ INCREDIBLE! It looks like a photo and feels so real! If you made this in Makcode Arcade, I bow down to your art. ---

Too many limitations in MakeCodeā€¦ The background image is limited to 160x120 pixels. To make it move horizontally probably need to cut it vertically to a sprite sheet and then change the code to make it appear moving. The other thing Iā€™m not sure what to do about is how to support more than 1 color palette, I had 4 colors not in used previously but with the map I need one more for the sky. The function image.setPalette() changes the palette for everything. If we could have more control of it amazing things can be done. ---

> [@Jabberwock](#): > > Too many limitations in MakeCodeā€¦ The background image is limited to 160x120 pixels. > To make it move horizontally probably need to cut it vertically to a sprite sheet and then change the code to make it appear moving. You could split the image into 500x(height of image) (because biggest image size is 500x500) and set them to sprites. Then you can align them all together and have the camera follow the main player. > [@Jabberwock](#): > > The other thing Iā€™m not sure what to do about is how to support more than 1 color palette, I had 4 colors not in used previously but with the map I need one more for the sky. The function image.setPalette() changes the palette for everything. If we could have more control of it amazing things can be done. You canā€™t. You can only have up to 15 colors on the screen. (Plus transparency) MakeCode Arcade was designed to run on microcontrollers and to be extremely simple. ---
