I know firefox limits precision to 2ms that being said, i’ve been playing around with adding some new experimental audio features that might help you out with this; specifically, wavetable synthesis which could probably be expanded to playing PCM buffers. below is a demo link, b…

What an awe-inspiring week on the forum!

Just want to point out this is a demo of the game and I was unfortunately not able to finish the game because I had to leave for a trip due to a competition. cryV I S I O N What you see might not be what really lies beneath. Press B to see the truth. I might finish the game and add functionality sooner or later. For now you’re stuck with one level and an idea. Sorry about that disappointed.

In addition to the aforementioned recent breakthroughs for sound, there are definitely developments in and actors doing great work with music on the forum, too:

Probably much and many more. Maybe some of them would like to contribute?

Just got idea. What if you imitated 3d? Kind of like what the Sega Saturn and 32X did, and render the graphics as pixelated triangles instead of making the real-time-rendering?

Pre-Rendered 3D can utilize things like SketchFab models and the wireframe, and then make a 3D model if you have the time and patience to draw all the polygons in the pixel art editor. That method could make a nice demo with some music, like, say, a 3D Demo to show off a game, and would be cool, to see on something like a meow:bit or adafruit.

New developments yet for great (demo) music production!:

> Hey folks! I’ve gone ahead and made another extension! This one is super simple, it allows you to play songs written using [MML](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Macro_Language). For more info on the syntax of MML, check out the README of this repo, where I’ve written up an explainer: MML was used back in the old days for authoring chiptunes on systems like the NES! Some videogames still use it today. Anyways, have fun!

Just checking in to see how the MakeCode Arcade demoscene is evolving…
The technical level has reached new highs, with notable recent contributions like:
1. Legendary @Brohann’s [MakeCode Portfolio](https://forum.makecode.com/t/brohanns-makecode-portfolio/31652) (see demo section) and [3D devlog](https://forum.makecode.com/t/brohanns-3d-devlog/20917)
2. @MrJones’ new and amazing [3D engine](https://forum.makecode.com/t/mr-joness-3d-engine/35638)
3. @UnsignedArduino’s [new standalone executable solution](https://forum.makecode.com/t/convert-your-makecode-arcade-games-to-executables/37719) with packers soon enabling entry into the 20kB competitions
4. [60 fps](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues/6330) version hopefully making the next major @MakeCode release(?), so that we can experiment with illusions of new colors
Anything else I have missed in my long absence?
The community more than ripe to making the first official MakeCode Arcade demoparty competition entry if the right people come together!
