New feature request for next update

@richard
so you know how in scratch it lets you put the code into sections instead of having it all on one screen making it so much more organized and it does not take as much processing power because you are not loading all the blocks so it helps over all with organization and smoothness and i wish that you could do this in make code.
as shown here

also sorry for mentioning scratch its just a good feature

No,
if we do this we’ll probably get into a lawsuit because of bigger similarities. Plus, sprites can be registered by their variables.

I don’t think this will happen at all, scratch doesn’t give out lawsuits even if they were too similar

I meant like we can have multiple sections for the code it doesn’t have to look like scratches it just has to work as intended and i doubt that they copy righted the idea because all it is is having different scripts for each thing in the game like what unity and Godot and literally any other game engine does

I like this idea!! maybe not categorized by different sprites, but just having tabs for code in general would be nice!

There’s already the abilty to have multiple. Javascript and python scripts, but not for blocks. I think this was also requested last year maybe? It would be cool if they added it.

yeah i wish there was one for blocks because i would rather code in blocks than python or js

yes, that would be so nice, the main reason why im not using makecode much anymore is beacuse of the performance issues with blocks

Makecode Arcade is meant to mirror Typescript as much as possible. Scratch isn’t really that close to coding so it is more clean and easier to use. The reason why Arcade does not have multiple pages is because Typescript also has all variables (which include sprites) in one page.


To fix your problem, you could follow these steps. 1. Right click on any black space on your editor 2. Select format code Tada! Your code is cleaned up!
