what if we used makecode source code to make a sort of makecode+?  
we could add more buttons, more RAM, optimize it, add more colors, and make it have a higher resolution by default.  
if this would even be possible, would anyone wanna be up for the challenge?

:boom:

I love the idea but you’re trying to make a better program with the bad program that’s giving you less of what you need. I’m not saying It’s impossible but very unlikely.

[Hmm](https://forum.makecode.com/t/makecode-arcade-without-the-arcade/24087) Yes

If you don’t wanna read that wall of text its the same idea as here just with no button limitation and color scheme limit too

You may be aware but you can do that in makecode

with this

namespace userconfig {  
export const ARCADE\_SCREEN\_WIDTH = 320  
export const ARCADE\_SCREEN\_HEIGHT = 240  
}  
go into java and just paste it in at the start

It would be possible… but it would probably take a lot of work. Adding more colors would probably be easy enough, RAM and Buttons i’m not sure of. I think makecode has enough buttons currently (12 buttons is how much WASD + space + shift + IJKL + u + o gets you and it’s about as much as a dualshock controller minus the joysticks and option/share/touchpad buttons) and RAM has definitely got to be a harder task.

i know but it would be nice if it did it for you by default

And maybe add some hardware that has stuff that you can’t very easily use as I have a meowbit but you can’t use the sd card slot very easily because it requires directly doing stuff with ram, but otherwise cool idea.

From what I know, makecodes code is pretty bad. Building makecode+ off of that would be pretty hard.  
Meanwhile, making makecode 2 from scratch (no I don’t mean to make it in scratch) would not be that hard (I think so at least but I know nothing of website development).
