Sprite Library

It actually has a blocks interface now:

Change color palette dynamically

Hello there, I want to change the color palette of my MakeCode Arcade project dynamically. There seem to be some extensions that can do that for me, but documentation is lacking and I don’t understand how to use it. Is there any documentation or extensions that can help me change the color palette dynamically easily?

Oh nice!

[GameGod]

This doesn’t allow you to view the correct colors in the sprite editor.

However, this simple copy-paste JavaScript works nicely!

Sprite Editor Color View

I used the Color fading extension to change the RGBs, but I wish the right colors would show up in the art editor. Is there a way to do this in JavaScript? (Gray Scale Example) https://makecode.com/_h8MdpuJyaYsp

Don’t let JavaScript intimidate you. Just follow the instructions!

[UnsignedArduino]

Yes, so I usually would just change it in pxt.json or whatever file it’s supposed to be. I usually don’t change the colors anyway, I only use that extension for fading to black and back. They make good cutscene stuff.

[GameGod]

I agree.

[Dreadmask197]

I never felt like editing the pxt.json cause I never like it when my project “dies”

[UnsignedArduino]

Yes, my first art contribution!

I was using the settings extension to store some stuff and I wanted an option to reset the data from the program. Since floppy drives are associated with saving data, this is what I made:

Here’s the code - copy and paste it into a 16x16 image:

And this was the final image, with the big on the (had to shrink it a bit so the X looked better):

Code:

Need art

Please add animal heads to the first block. They have to be 8 by 8 (this block) [image] Images should have at least five DIFFERENT colors. They should not have a black outline. If you add images, thank you!

Anyone wanna help with this?

Also, made this:

The G is lowercase and capital at the same time.

I liked @GameGod 's Idea of using arcade to make profile pictures so I made myself one

The whole code in java is basically like this

Nice!

[LcAtonal]

I am gonna try makin some art

[purna079]

nice!

[UnsignedArduino]

There’s a difference between Java and Typescript

[Dreadmask197]

@GameGod and @LcAtonal I’ll try to make a better profile pic that this skeleton

[GameGod]

Here

[Dreadmask197]

Did u make that in pixel art?
