Thanks, your procedural animation extension is really intuitive!

Sure! I wanted to have a parallax background for this game but never got around to it. Since the screen resolution is 320x240, its pretty time consuming to make one. I like to use this extension [Having a Blast with MakeCode Arcade! - #6 by AlexK](https://forum.makecode.com/t/having-a-blast-with-makecode-arcade/59/6) because it scales background images very nicely. If you wanted to help, a parallax with some pipes and sewer grates would be great! Try to use only the darkest few shades of green for the background if you can.
