I’ve taken inspiration from @ChaseMor and created an extension for some image transformations (scaling and rotation). You can use the extension both in the blocks interface and in the JavaScript interface. The extension adds blocks under the Advanced section.

I’ve been looking forward to creating extensions for a while now, just to see how that process works. It’s stunningly simple, given the excellent Monaco code editor and GitHub integration that are built into PXT. You really don’t even need to leave the MakeCode environment to pull it off. Pretty amazing!

If you’re interested, you can pull my extension into your Arcade MakeCode projects from

You can see an example of the extension in action at

> Made with ❤️ in MakeCode Arcade.

I’ll eventually cleanup the README a bit more and implement the suggested TODO items. I’ll also be using this extension in my Asteroids and Spacewar! clones. More on those soon.

Have fun!
