I have an idea for a game and am working on it (no spoilers!) yet there are some things that i cant do. for example, I cant make a good inventory system in makecode arcade and the buttons are really limited. Is it possible to build a prototype game here and then convert it into a real game later to work on more advanced features? anything helps, ty!

nice idea @viny1234 but i mean a \*\*LITERAL \*\* Prototype game, like a quickly made game that I can use to make a proper game faster with.
