I’m just now realizing that I set up the poll wrong- It was meant to say that the CORRECT answer was that the player should keep going after getting a Star. Apologies. ---

@Brohann I wanted to ask you something- I think I asked you about this project a little while ago and you said that Makecode couldn’t handle extremely detailed textures (at least I _think_ you did, correct me if I’m wrong.) But if that is the case, how detailed can textures be at _ **maximum** _? Is it 16x16, 32x32, etc.? ---

I’m not sure what the limit would be, but I said that because textured triangles take loads of extra math to get it looking right, not to mention there is not currently an extension for that. I would say that it is not a detail issue, more of a performance issue. It would still be possible of course, I would say that filling one textured triangle would take about 5 times as long as a regular one. so, you would have to limit how many are on screen at one time (also avoid huge triangles like one side of a mountain,) ---

Oh, and another thing- I was able to get my hands on a Mario model from SM64. The program I used just to view it says it has 1,269 triangles and 1,088 vertices (including the things I’ve circled in the image below). I’m assuming this is WAY too much, but I wanted to see your input on it if it was useable to base off of when I make the Coneguy model. ![sm64 model](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/7/743d2dea96414cac54bc4a04809fc88e2a933539.png) Here’s another image with the colors: ![sm64 model 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/0/0d38fae86ba44bfc00657b757d319c80916fa163.png) ---

Huh, that’s odd. It doesn’t look like it should have that many. It would definitely look too hard to try and make in makecode arcade… I think an even lower poly model would be helpful! But if it really is those weird extra shapes adding the vertices, then it looks like a great base! ---

I’m excited to see what this game is going to be! I wonder what makecode users are going to be included in this project ---

so how is all of this suppost to fit in makecode, if it’s suppose post be polygons and stuff. If you do know how can you tell me how just curious. ---

> [@TheConeGuy](#): > > I’m using Paint 3D to test how this model looks by the way- Hey that’s a great testing program! The model is looking quite cute 😃 I’m hoping to have my model done tomorrow ish. (But given that tomorrow is friday, I’m also hoping i get it in in time that it gets approved the same day instead of waiting until monday) ---

definitely way too much triangles, I’m working on a coneguy model rn that will probably have around 40 ---

I think 1200 triangles is a whole lot, but having 40 with the same detail as the original Mario model doesn’t seem possible. I’m sure it can be optimized to maybe 700-800 triangles though. ---

Some mockups I made for the HUD. I have life icons for all characters, they’re just not shown here. ![pixil-frame-0 (58)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/9/95b7139c574adef15d29585518305f2661ee9737.png) ---

Here he is! How adorable! ![coneguy_4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/0/08430b54580afc622d5f1c1e21d4642d91b68ddb.jpeg) ![coneguy_3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/a/a19a6ff0b10c428317ff23b570d9733f97a88e39.jpeg) ![coneguy_2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/a/a777b14be968c562c4e10e0cab8706841877d930.jpeg) ![coneguy_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/7/7932c81eb1a2f27df75a25e2fec9b6a6404e6a05.jpeg) ![coneguy_0](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/e/e89da98388d382aecf1e059d2f58abb538502761.jpeg) Try as I might, he still has almost **500 triangles!** … Maybe in the finished game, he could be REALLY simple. Like, a square for each body part… it wouldn’t look as good, but it would be in the realm of possibility. ---

This wouldn’t work with the 15 color pallete, so porting assets from sm64 probably isnt the best option. Have you decided on a color pallette yet? ---

Oh my god, he looks so freaking adorable XD- I have basically no knowledge of 3D modeling, but I’ll try to simplify it a little so that Makecode Arcade can actually process it. ---

I know. I just used the SM64 font because I thought it would look good, although I’ll probably need to optimize it for Makecode Arcade’s limited color palette. ---

If you give me your desired triangle count, I can use the model I already have and side it down!
