you forgot to include `namespace userconfig`!  
here is the working code:

```ts
namespace userconfig {
export const ARCADE_SCREEN_WIDTH = 320
export const ARCADE_SCREEN_HEIGHT = 240
}

```

Not possible. You will have to paste this code into javascript and change the values to change the screen size

in javascript then switch to blocks.  
BUT  
with the new copying blocks features, you can boot up a random project, convert to javascript then back to blocks to get the grey block code, then copy that and paste into your desired project
