Issue with makecode's tilemap editor

Arcade Help
1

@richard, For my game that I’m making, I need a tilemap with 8x8 tiles. However, I am in Javascript and I’ve deleted my main.blocks file. When I use arcade-tile-util, The editor for the tileUtil.createSmallTilemap() has 16x16 tiles, not 8x8. I don’t want to create a github project and add a main.blocks, mainly because it’s slow. Is there another way to make a tilemap with 8x8 tiles, or can you fix this?

in javascript, you can write this:

let myTilemap = tilemap8``

and click the map icon next to the line number to open the editor. should create a tilemap with 8x8 tiles

similarly, there is also tilemap32

Strange, I usually try to do that without the tile utils extension installed and it always forces it to 16x16 for some reason.
