@Mr_Duck here’s your fixed project! > **[Backrooms 2D (fixed)](https://arcade.makecode.com/99827-31478-66047-89980)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

…And here are detailed instructions on how I fixed this project, for reference. Note that this involves using a CLI, so it might be tough to follow these if you haven’t used a terminal before. I ran these instructions on Ubuntu (on Windows via WSL), but they should also work just fine on macOS. > **Full Instructions** > > Note that you need Node.js installed to follow these instructions. > > Prerequisites, install the `pxt` and `makecode` cli tools via npm: > > ```auto > npm install -g pxt makecode > > ``` > > Now follow these steps: > > 1. Extract the zip file and move the relevant .mkcd file into an empty directory > > ```shell > unzip makecode-arcade-project-download.zip > mkdir temp-directory > mv arcade-2024-08-13-Backrooms-2D.mkcd temp-directory/ > cd temp-directory > > ``` > > 2. Initialize the pxt CLI in that directory: > > ```shell > pxt target arcade > > ``` > > 3. Use the pxt cli to extract the project files: > > ```shell > pxt extract arcade-2024-08-13-Backrooms-2D.mkcd > > ``` > > 4. `cd` into the extracted project’s directory: > > ```shell > cd Backrooms-2D/ > > ``` > > 5. Open `pxt.json` in the text editor of your choice and make these two edits: > - Delete the entry for the dependency in the `dependencies` object. Make sure you don’t leave any trailing commas behind! > - Change `preferredEditor` from “blocksprj” to “tsprj” > > 6. Save the file > 7. Use the MakeCode CLI to create a share link for the project: > > ```shell > makecode share > > ``` > > 8. This will print out a share link. Open that link in the browser and select “Edit Project” > 9. The project will open in the TypeScript editor. You’ll now need to fix any errors that were caused by removing the extension. In this case, there was one call to `stuff.SwitchSprites(mySprite2, myEntity)` that I had to delete > 10. Switch to blocks and make sure everything looks good! ---

Hey @richard ! I am making a game (with the help of free templates from others) and decided to make a title screen, so I found one I liked and tried recreating in but it didn’t work. The title screen is suppose to say the game name then a text saying “click B to start” but none of that shows but instead its just a black screen! Please help me with the game link right here: [https://arcade.makecode.com/S60799-63049-42388-52853](https://arcade.makecode.com/S60799-63049-42388-52853) ---

Also, when the player reaches zero health, the game is suppose to end, but it doesn’t, btw all the broken stuff is at the top right separated from the other code in blocks. ---

@Cdahr1 this is because you have the raycasting extension in your project. when you add that to the project, it changes how all sprites are rendered. @AqeeAqee might have tips on what you can do to make a title screen like this ---

Hi @Cdahr1 When start to design this plug, I assumed there’s a map already. But not, in some a little more complex cases, like yours. So the easiest way of workaround is set a blank tilemap at first, before you set the real map. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/4/8/48b4e205be1137a689e8877d3a9f7c0bf03c22ff.png) And I guess you don’t want your text sprite shown as a 3d character, set its “relative to camera” to ON. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/0/7/07dadc4632caa92e3d6a4c5e10cc5161ea6a0388.png) ---

Hey @richard there is a glitch I am currently facing. When I try to change the title map, its sticks to my mouse and doesn’t come off unless I refresh the page. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/8/d/8dc51b4f830077f4c9fa5b8f2344079979323658.png) (I’m not holding my mouse button) Thank you! ---

@Cdahr1 this is definitely a makecode bug! can you share a link to your project? also if you can open the dev tools and check for errors in the console i would appreciate it ---
