I was messing around with some images, with the Image converter, and I think I **pasted something faulty into the JavaScript editor.** Now, I can’t even open the tab and not get hit with an error. Project Details: Name: _ULTRAKILL (Pre-Alpha… [I forgot]_ The project is big, a few thousand lines of code. (8000-9000) Here’s everything that happened: I pasted a few lines of code, which converted to gray blocks in, then a corrected version in the Js editor. I switched to blocks again, and the screen went black. I reloaded the page, then I was hit with the error. **‘Error: Out of memory’** ![Screenshot 2026-09-20 220644](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/e/9/e9477ef60d6dcf6af9dc8685cc6fc8984a841671.png) Can someone tell me how to fix this? (Developers, etc.) My hands are shaking like crazy seeing all my time go to waste. **I** really **don’t want to lose my project.** ---

@richard in only saying this since you made a link to download every protect the user had named “bird”, I’m guessing you could do the same here? ---

Would it be possible to escalate this to the _MakeCode team_? Maybe @richard, or anyone else. And I found something which may be useful: ![Screenshot 2026-09-21 173818](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/d/f/df92cbabe5c5118efefb97e2e933f9d85b32a75b.png) I hope this can be over with fast, because I have a lot of things to complete. ---

i’m doing it by editing the internals of makecode, but you don’t need a special link to save your games, just download them! ---

At the bottom of the screen, next to the game title, there’s a save button. ![Save](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/2/9/29363edfcb5430ad193971a1960d125e427e029c.png) Click it to download your project. ---

directly below where your game is actually shown, there should be a camera: ![Screenshot 2026-09-28 3.36.02 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/3/d/3d10755188b514fc7bd0a628618d70bef63d4803.png) ----------------------------------^ ---
