I’ve saw some posts and talking about some beta and I’ve heard different make code like Minecraft and makebits or something. I don’t know what it is but I’ve just been doing [arcade.makecode.com](http://arcade.makecode.com)

It’s at the same site, just with `/beta` at the end: [arcade.makecode.com/beta](http://arcade.makecode.com/beta)

In addition, you can see the other editors (for Minecraft Education Edition, micro:bit, and a few others) at [https://makecode.com](https://makecode.com)

The biggest difference I have noticed so far is that the beta arcade module has both the JavaScript and Python text editors, while the regular one only has JavaScript.

I was following your camera game instructions on YouTube and I saw that it had to be using beta so I transferred every piece of code into beta mode and started there. But quick question, if you update the beta website, will it change the code in the game or stay the same

It should stay the same and most of the time there are no issues, but we can’t guarantee that projects created in beta will work forever.
The reason we were using beta on the stream was because we are currently working to fix bugs there. You can think of beta as the _next_ version of MakeCode. Once we are done fixing bugs and adding features, we’ll move [arcade.makecode.com/beta](http://arcade.makecode.com/beta) to [arcade.makecode.com](http://arcade.makecode.com)
