Hello I have run into another problem in my game

The Camera size. I am making a doggo platformer and most of the images are big (mostly because most of the time dislike pixels) and so my camera seems quite small compared to the sprites. did anyone get any ideas? here’s a link [https://makecode.com/\_K32K1r1V9XjA](https://makecode.com/_K32K1r1V9XjA) (also sorry for your time)

Thanks -Zachary

The camera/screen in arcade is 160x120 pixels and it can’t be changed.

That game is awesome BTW

I also love that game (worth noting though I’m just a huge fan of corgis, definitely getting one when I’m enough of an adult to deserve one – I made the corgio extension partially because I drew one and wanted a reason to use it).

Also, re: your other comment, we had a few games from @AlexK that I believe were over 1500 blocks a long time ago, even before we increased the max size 🙂 If you are still concerned about code size, there are always alternatives to share it - saving as a png (save icon next to the name at the bottom of the screen), saving to github if that’s possible, or creating a file with the download button should all work even if the game is too large to share with the share button.

I feel there should be a `Set Pixel Size to` block.

That wouldn’t work on devices like the meowbit.

Well, I would not use a meowbit anyways because my hands are HUGE.

Custom resolution code

namespace userconfig {  
export const ARCADE\_SCREEN\_WIDTH = 320  
export const ARCADE\_SCREEN\_HEIGHT = 240  
}
