Hello. Does anyone know how I can add a glow or bloom effect to sprites and tiles? I want to add the glow/bloom effect on the blue player and tilemap. Thanks > **[Low gravity parkour](https://arcade.makecode.com/66147-19058-52843-15681)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

I don’t think you can do this on Makecode. ---

You could outline in a lighter color so it gives off the illusion of glowing ---

The lantern effect dims everything else, plus I want it to have a blue glow. Thanks anyway.
