I’m wondering if there’s a way to use the “ask for number” block, but only player 1 can input a number, or only player 2 can enter a number. ---

There is definitely a way to do this, but idk how hard it would be. I’ll take a look and let you know if I find an easy way to do it. Obviously, you could just make your own Ask Number function, using something like the text sprite extension. ---

I have a multiplayer keyboard extension, but I haven’t tried it with v.2 of MakeCode. The MakeCode team did a bunch of changes to the built-in keyboard, and I’m not sure if my extension will still work. I’ll add it to the list for this weekend. Will keep you posted!
