Title.

I love using Makecode Arcade and so do my students. Is it possible to increase the screen resolution just for games that run on PC instead of on arcade devices?

So its currently 160 x 120. Imagine the possibilities if there was an option to scale it to 1024! 😮

Yep here you go:  
namespace userconfig {  
export const ARCADE\_SCREEN\_WIDTH = 160  
export const ARCADE\_SCREEN\_HEIGHT = 120  
}  
Just change the numbers  
(JavaScript btw)
