I just opened this up the other day because I have to finish it before the retire, the only problem Is when I went to edit the code the animations froze. Last time I edited this was in December. What’s going on? > **[DDJPF build test](https://arcade.makecode.com/S89003-35703-93684-58036)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Hey @richard does this code for the animations not work anymore because of an update? Is there a way I can take the separate frames and make them into one animation? ---

Well, there’s an Animations tab in the Advanced blocks section. I believe you can open each image and select the whole thing with that selector tool, then you can ctrl+c the image and paste it into a frame of the animations block. Then there’s the sprite states extension that’s basically the extension you are using but it uses the animation block thing from the animations tab. Basically, this extension you are using is old and doesn’t use the nice new features that you could be using. ---

Oops. Look right above the “advanced” drop down. It’s a green tab. I think they moved it out of “advanced” in the update! ---
