Speech about makecode's limitations

Arcade
1

Ok, so ive seen a lot of complaints about makecode arcade not having enough buttons, colors, memory, etc.
but remember, MAKECODE ARCADE IS A FANTASY CONSOLE!
think about it pico-8 has limitations, a 128x128 screen, a 16 non-interchangeable color palette, 7 buttons, yet NO-ONE on there complains about it!
makecode is SUPPOSED to have limitations, it helps push creativity! and it makes it possible to play retro-style games!

so plsss before you make another topic complaining about colors, buttons, or anything like that, remember, MAKECODE IS A FANTASY CONSOLE!

15 colours is actually really perfect for pixel art palette sizes and really encourages people to make good pixel art. I do wish makecode’s engine was more powerful though, I always seem to be making projects that strain the program to its limits lol
