As I’ve mentioned in a few posts, I’ve created an extension that divides the screen into a grid layout. You can then use that grid to place sprites, and to restrict their movement to coordinates in the grid. It uses mechanics similar to those found in the built-in _Memory_ game or in John Park’s _Re-MakeCode Racing Game_.

We need to start listing the extensions for arcade… ---

@peli maybe we should do a sticky thread for them? ---

We should start a gallery + /extensions page in the editor + add to default extensions dialog. ---

In the docs, you mention an approval process, but I’m guessing you haven’t created that workflow yet. Maybe flesh out that process and have approved extensions appear in the built-in gallery within the editors? > **[Building your own extension](https://makecode.com/extensions/getting-started)** > > This guide describes a simple setup that requires nothing, but a web browser. > We have another guide, if you want to > use command line tools. ---

Ummm, I am trying to make a game with this extention but the block “grid move [sprite] with buttons”, how do you disable it? Like stop it? If there is not a block for it, can you add one? ---

Share a link to your project. The block that you describe is not part of this extension.
