I need some help. I’m going to create 5 lists full of numbers.

Something like this will make your code _much_ shorter.
```typescript
let list: number[] = []
for (let index = 0; index < 10; index++) {
list.push(randint(0, 10))
}
```

I don’t want it random. I want it to have 5 lists and then get all the numbers in order in text sprites

I put the list in there first, then I kinda need to do it for another four times

So you need to place all the numbers on screen and have the user choose one of them?

To generate the menu.

Then, you just remove the `close menu` block so it never goes away.

This is @richard’s extension, so I would ask him to add functionality to show or hide the cursor.
@richard sorry to bother you, but is it possible to remove the cursor? Something like:
```typescript
blockmenu.showCursor(false)
```

I wouldn’t want to switch to text sprites because then you have to figure out the positions of all of them.

I think I have the position code down thanks to @jacob_c. He showed me how to use the variables and math to create different kinds of positions

Then I would just create a list of text sprites so you can cleanly reference them.
Something like this:
But for each number.

`bool`s are `true` or `false` values. I think you mean sprites?
