Greetings,

I have run into a problem with tutorial links for MakeCode Arcade. I have made two tutorials, published links in MakeCode.

These worked fine for a while, but all of a sudden stopped working. I’m afraid I no longer have these links.

So I copied what used to be the contents of the readme.md file and put it in another project on GitHub to see if that would last longer. But no, all of a sudden the tutorial links are no good. The links are:

> **[Microsoft MakeCode Arcade](https://arcade.makecode.com/#tutorial:https://github.com/SCjoh/kodekraft-tutorial-1)**
>
> Develop your programming skills by quickly creating and modding retro arcade games with Blocks and JavaScript in the MakeCode editor

and

> **[Microsoft MakeCode Arcade](https://arcade.makecode.com/#tutorial:https://github.com/SCjoh/kodekraft-tutorial-2)**
>
> Develop your programming skills by quickly creating and modding retro arcade games with Blocks and JavaScript in the MakeCode editor

Copying the contents of the readme.md file into the tutorial tool results in a working tutorial, so the markup should be good. Anyone have any idea why the tutorials stop working?

Ah, we have a maximum size of 64k per file when loading content from Github, and it looks like your tutorials are just over. This is definitely a MakeCode issue–we should have better error messaging or increase the size limit (or both!), I’ll make a note for us to fix it. For now, you can actually remove all spaces from the “img” sections in your code to reduce the file size by a little. I did a quick pass on your first tutorial here:

> <https://github.com/shakao/kodekraft-tutorial-1/blob/master/README.md>

You can also remove the indentation for additional size compression! The other thing you could do is break each activity up into smaller files for now.
