Hey - I followed one of the tutorials for a multiplayer game and am now adding my own edits etc. For some reason I can’t seem to get the background to change from black when trying Set background image, set background colour OR set tilemap on start. Is it due to some of the other code? I’ve had a look but can’t see anything obvious that would influence it. Any ideas welcome. (Also I’m pretty much a beginner so sorry if this is really obvious!) > **[Donut Eat The Junk!](https://arcade.makecode.com/S76508-99439-20608-23865)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Here you go —\> [https://arcade.makecode.com/S36144-72697-28207-53808](https://arcade.makecode.com/S36144-72697-28207-53808) I have no idea what your code’s problem had because it works when I add the background image block. It’s fixed! ---

Thank you! It must have been glitching the other day as a few other bits I added now seem to be functional. 🙂
