I have tried using that flag and it did not work

@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.

Raycasting Doesn't Support GUI

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 @CyberPulse 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.

Hi @CuteMrMerp and @Unique
This issue has been fixed in new release v0.3.15.
Have a try and let me know the result pls.
