Hi @NotRichard, can you share a link to your code? Here’s how to create a share link:

@NotRichard do you see any errors? They would show up at the bottom of the text editor:

![2022-01-20 14.43.17](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/e/e1cfca2115015aac4f65e1207e8ec9625e4a4748.gif)

Can you send a screenshot of any that show up?

@NotRichard can you try opening up the web console and seeing if there are any errors in there? Here are the instructions for [Chrome](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/open/), [Firefox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools), and [Edge](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/devtools-guide-chromium/#opening-devtools)

</div>

@NotRichard the easiest way to do something like that is to just destroy all the sprites and recreate them:

> **[level demo](https://arcade.makecode.com/26434-28629-21022-19757)**
>
> Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

However, that approach means the enemies won’t remember where they were and go to the same locations as before. Most old video games use this approach.

Hey I have been wanting to see if I could add my own audio to my game. Does anyone know if that’s possible in makercode or do I have to find another platform to add my own audio?

Hi Richard. I am currently trying to recreate the first super Mario game. But I need help. I can’t find out how to make the Goomba bounce back when they hit each other, and I need help making Mario change back to the idle picture after jumping. Here’s a link to the game [https://makecode.com/\_JYwY6gR9aFPY](https://makecode.com/_JYwY6gR9aFPY)

Good morning and thank you for the outstanding improvements to the Makecode Arcade resources! I was hoping someone might be able to help me troubleshoot this student’s project because I keep running into the same problem.

The students are trying to fire a projectile in the same fashion as the “spray from (mysprite) using ” block used in the Hour of Code 2021 Save the Forest project. In the skillmap, the third section includes this as a custom block that allows the airplane to spray water in all directions. Do you have any example or suggestion for how to replicate this effect for any projectile in the full editor?

@watermarkedu here is the code that eventually became the save the forest project:

> **[fire fighter training](https://arcade.makecode.com/30805-94619-57853-41976)**
>
> Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

I’ve collapsed all of the functions except for the ones that deal with the spraying water.

Also, we made this game on the arcade livestream so there is video of us making it:

Going forward, we’re going to do one post per week that sums up every stream we made. Without further ado, here are streams 320-324: Stream 320 [[Platformer Extension - MakeCode Arcade Advanced] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt_jr19l92c) We started making a platformer extension for Arcade!

Thank you Richard, this is perfect! I really love your livestream recordings, the whole team makes this into a wonderful “hackathon” experience. Thank you again for the support!
