@CuteMrMerp & @AqeeAqee, I was having the same issue with the extension. I figure there must be an issue with the latest build of the extension. I loaded 3.13 onto my project, and UI was working just fine. Someone else referred to the same issue in your repo, I have a more in-depth solution there. > > > First, thanks for sharing this extension and getting it into Makecode Arcade's s…tandard extension list. > > My son was very excited to try using it as he has used similar things in Scratch. However, we quickly found that all forms of GUI -- such as showing lives remaining or score -- don't seem to work in raycast view. While this is hinted at in your extension documentation, I would call it out as a limitation explicitly (or tell us what we're missing). > > Lastly, we are requesting that you add some sort of support to draw GUI sprites onto the screen. Even just supporting putting the background image on top of the raycasted view would enable us to draw on top. Really appreciated! ---

Try putting the z(depth) to a high level (Idk what the z layer of the raycasting screen is though) ---

Hi ! Thanks @CuteMrMerp for report this issue, and thanks @Unique for the hint for debuging. And thanks @jackal and @Kiwiphoenix364 kindly helping. This should come from the “fake screen” for supporting particle effects. I will debug and try to fix it ASAP recent, maybe in a week. ---

also i got a question how can we make the lantern effects it will help a lot if somebody tells me how or show me a example on how to make that kind of effect cause if you look at the game. I made a running scene where its suppose to be dark and hard to complete and if you say its impossible i will say this it is possible but it will take a lot of will power to complete ---

Hi, thanks for great extension I could’t stand those jittering inside blitRow and tried to fix that My solution is to break blitRow in two separate rows, one from horizon line up, one down Right now its inside .ts, when it would be implemented in core arcade (.cpp) there should be no performance difference > **[3d-blitRowFixw](https://arcade.makecode.com/46279-83354-19578-28573)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

A student of mine built a game off of this, and we’re trying to download it as a .elf file. Unfortunately, it keeps saying, “The Hex file is not available. Please connect to the internet.” I can assure you, we’re connect to the internet 🙂 Any idea what may be going wrong?

Just in case anybody else comes here and sees this, I think I got it figured it out. Turns out it had nothing to do with the Raycasting extension. It was actually the “Mouse” extension (that wasn’t even being used in the game). Once I removed that, it was able to be downloaded. ---
