When i try to fix it by adding another file named: main.blocks. but it turns it into: main.blocks.ts. Is there a fix? ---

Can you share the project? ---

1. Are you saving the project on GitHub and did you commit before you deleted main.blocks? You might be able to revert back to the previous version, I believe there’s a button on the GitHub commit screen on your Arcade project to revert back to the previous commit. (A commit is like a version that contains changes to files and code) 2. Switch to JavaScript or Python, then switch back to Blocks: If you’re lucky, Arcade might be able to convert the code back to blocks. 3. When you add/create a file, it’s empty. So you can’t recover it by adding a new file named after the file you deleted. I hope you get your code back! ---

I took some pictures of it happening: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/9/9ba9eaa5f14019dd4fd90a44b8c218a9bb13484c.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/1/1e7941adc047437887a4197db3669ffb7fc640f4.png) Here is a game just for show: > **[Just for show](https://arcade.makecode.com/S67866-03943-85731-62942)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Ah, I meant the game in which you want to have it fixed, not just a project without the file; I can mess around with it and manually fix it for this case, assuming you give me a project that has the ts / assets in it, but there’s no easy way right away in the editor. I filed [https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues/5855](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues/5855) for a ‘general’ fix / easier path ---

Here you go [https://makecode.com/\_PLoR7Kfi8hoK](https://makecode.com/_PLoR7Kfi8hoK) will generate the .blocks file back when you click into blocks That said, this doesn’t look like a project that you would particularly want to go to blocks in, as it’s nicely formatted in text / swapping back and forth won’t look as pretty. One thing to note is that I did change this line: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/3/37acef80a7ab134d7aaa54b57fcf50507d20a4f4.png) as tiles.setTilemap is the old, deprecated version that doesn’t support variables in blocks (that is, it can only be set with a literal value like `tiles.setTilemap(`asdf`)` in blocks, so if you put a variable in it will get replaced with a new, empty tilemap)
