Is there a way to have the game screen on one monitor and the code on another monitor? I tried doing this by running an instance of arcade on both monitors, but whenever i would put something in the code section, it wouldn’t update on the game screen

No…?  
You can full screen the simulator and remove said simulator to show only the code, but I’m not sure if you can have the simulator on one monitor and the workspace on the other.
