Hey why is there a charge in my account for 100 peanut butter cups, and then 100 candy-size nanobots, and then a scribble in red pen that says ‘btw these are filled with bombs’ next to it? I swear, I’ve had my candy bomb-diffused, nanobot-inspected, razerblade-removed, poison-tested, and bug-sprayed. I think these ‘gaurds’ @GoObErsandwichdude64 and @redSprite are just making up reasons to confiscate the candy for themselves! :roll_eyes:
…I’ll keep rock candy in my office for now, so we can see what’s inside :head_shaking_vertically:

P.E.A.N.U.T.B.U.T.T.E.R.C.U.P. is good, not bad. @redSprite hired me to protect the candy.

:sun_behind_small_cloud: June Update!

After a much-needed break, the updates are back!! :partying_face: I hope you all had a great solstice and are (enjoying / burning in) the heat of summer or just getting cozy for winter.
Thank you all for being so patient, I am so so excited for the most MakeCode summer ever!! :laughing:

This month i’ve been working on another new extension for you all: The transparency extension! :eye_in_speech_bubble: *
*Technically translucency, but this is simpler

Just make a sprite transparent to have its colors fade slightly into the background, like you can see through it:

I’ve had so much fun making this extension (thanks to plenty of help in this thread!) but I feel like the extension could do so much more: Custom opacities, animation support, contrast optimization, and lots of optimization. So, the extension is currently in Beta so I can work on it longer without delaying the update!

You can get the Beta extension here, with the full version coming out sometime this month:
rando-muser/transparency-beta: The beta version of the transparency extension for Makecode Arcade
Use the blocks to add transparency to a sprite, remove it, or toggle it.

Please let me know of any bugs (I’m sure there are plenty I haven’t found :laughing: ) and I’ll make sure to credit you in the post and extension description :+1:

What’s happening next month?
Sometime in the month I’ll release the full version of the transparency extension! Other than that, I’d love to make another video on MakeCode, but I’m too indecisive on which to make…
I also REALLY want to start livestreaming code help, but my computer is on its last legs so as soon as I can find another device to stream on (Maybe an Ipad or just my phone :skull: ) I’ll get those started!!

Poll time!
What video would you most like to see next?

Office shenanigans!
@CopySprite Could you post your May update by the end of July?
@_jupiter and @TheEarth (unless this is a reference I’m missing) I see no reason two HUGE planets would need rocks of all things! :roll_eyes: Earth, just please share some rocks with Jupiter since they’re a gas giant.
Oh, and to hopefully quell the candy ARMS RACE my office has become, I’ve installed a candy pipeline straight from the factory to the bowl, running right along the mega-highway, so none of you can tamper with this common resource anymore :eye: :eye: :index_pointing_at_the_viewer:

if you do

just a suggestion, can you also go a bit into better ways of optimizing certain things (or get/suggest somebody else to idk)? for example, screen.setRows vs screen.setPixel?

Functions and extensions are two entirely different things.
As for a deep dive into the engine, I would pay MASSIVE respects for you to do that.
