The **arcade-sprite-data** extension ([https://github.com/microsoft/arcade-sprite-data](https://github.com/microsoft/arcade-sprite-data)) adds blocks to store/read numbers and strings in sprites.

I’ve also added the ability to store a sprite reference. We needed that to track the “shadow” sprite in the skeet game. ---

Hello there, sorry to bother you, but is it possible to view the sprite data in the debug console thingamabob? ---

You should be able to drill into the “data” field of a sprite; are you looking for a block that does `console.log(sprite.data)` ? ---

No, I don’t need the `console.log` command, I just want it to appear in the debugger, like how you can open a sprite and see it’s `x`, `y`, `vx`, `vy`, etc. I want to see the sprite data with the `x`, `y`…, It would make life a bit easier… ---

Sounds like a bug to raise at [https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade) ---

I have found this extension very useful. I am revising several programs to use it. In my use, I have wanted a slightly different user interface, which is shown below. Changes include “mySprite” instead oh “item,” an image specification that allows any kind of image, and a couple of corrections in the comments. The changed code is on GitHub at [https://github.com/WeCodeMakeCode/sprite-data-revised](https://github.com/WeCodeMakeCode/sprite-data-revised) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/3/3a4a4475f240c310d25d59e9579a15e6f4a09ff6.jpeg) ---

Oh nice… I’ll look into porting those into sprite-data!
