These are all not supported by this extension yet. ---

The target of support SayText feature by Raycasting extension is just “COPY” faithfully. So you could try some trick of SayText, eg: add a return letter inside words, like > ``` > spr.sayText(" test\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\n", 9999) > > ``` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/3/38c6948127c6cf573df3ccdcba766e6846d27af5.png) ---

When are you planning to fully release these features? ---

You mean the Floor/Sky? Should be when I can optimized it to 15 fps on my Meowbit, or 10 fps at least. The current algorithm of floor take 3 times of wall’s each frame, plus sprites and other game logic, FPS is too low to be a qualified game, I think. ---

Would you mind releasing it specifically for the simulator? I understand performance really matters since you work with hardware but it would be something nice to have on the simulator when the performance is not limited ---

> [@AqeeAqee](#): > > Should be when I can optimized it to 15 fps on my Meowbit, or 10 fps at least. All the code is written in TypeScript (Arcade calls it JavaScript) right? If you want huge optimization, you can use C++ (It’s pretty hard to use though). Look through some C++ files in the screen and core folders in the explorer, (In an Arcade project/game) maybe you’ll understand how C++ works in Arcade. ---

I tried add cpp file in extensionlong time ago, it does work in micro:bit, but failed generating the correct shim file in Arcade online. Have you tried in extension or project, how did you do? ---

I am working on a perspective algorithm recent, which can be applied on floor/sky. But still on struggling performance too. I will consider release new version with current floor algorithm, if the new perspective one cann’t satisfied me. 😂 ---

It wouldn’t really work straight if the box, I also can’t use my own extension in micro:but. I also didn’t create any extensions with C++ yet. ---

First, make sure your project is backed up so you can restore it at any point. Then, remove any of the new block that I added (the one that controls the darkness modifier and texture visibility from your project). Then, install the original raycasting extension that does not have the grayscale. Press “Remove extension(s) and add pxt-raycasting” and after it loads you should be good to go! ---

But how to make sure that the blocks with your extension remain? ---

I mean that you delete the EXTRA block that I added, all the other raycast blocks are fine. If you mean that you want colors AND fog, that isn’t really possible because there are only 16 colors. If you want to, you can change the color palette in the assets tab and have like everything being tinted a color or the walls being a different color depending on the distance though. ---
