Hi guys, I’m developing a pxt extension and I need to generate a desktop version similar to Adafruit express ([https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-circuit-playground-express/makecode-and-windows-10](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-circuit-playground-express/makecode-and-windows-10)) does anyone know how I can generate a version of pxt the same way adafruit playground express?

What do you mean by “pxt extension”? Are you making an extension for an existing editor or creating a new editor (i.e. for a new board)?
