**Tilemap Zooming In/Out**

The title pretty much explains everything.

Is there a block or something that lets you zoom in and out in a tilemap game?

I don’t know if this helps, but an extension was posted on a topic similar to this:

> [@Zoom in and out of a tilemap?](https://forum.makecode.com/t/zoom-in-and-out-of-a-tilemap/2048/3):

> a couple samples here: [Minimap extension beta](https://forum.makecode.com/t/minimap-extension-beta/1709/4) This lets your render the whole tilemap at 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, or 1/32 scale as an image You can also render sprites onto that shrunken version at independent 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, or 1/32 scale

This might be what you’re looking for. It’s not specific to tilemaps but it gets the job done. Hope it works for you!

> I finally finished the zoom extension, which allows you to zoom in (and out, with the outside just being black) the screen! Also, thanks to Richard for helping with some debugging in [this topic](https://forum.makecode.com/t/help-debugging-screen-zoom-extension/13735). This could be used to make some cool effects, as well as zoom in when action in your game gets intense! Also, gradual zoom effects will be added soon! Here’s the link: kiwiphoenix364/pxt-zooom Type this into the search bar at the top of the extensions page and click the extension!
