I would love for there to somehow be a way to have/link private chats on the forums but still have it be safe. I dunno how you’d figure it out but Microsoft is like a billion dollar corperation so there’s probably some way to do it… wait the teams budget might not be over like a 800,000 so maybe not and as far as I know I don’t think that makecode is that profitable….dag nabbit my idea is nearly impossible ---

yeah, if you want that, try scratch. They have some nice drawing tools in there. ---

My friend not all retro games used Pixel art. Have you heard of the Vectrex by chance? ![GCE Vectrex | Video Game Console Library](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/XsU5brArpvtSm4tIQfOwXDD0Pdg5SGY1YVQwYs9oO4odj2fd0DoOXFvgBMtl1UsEMx3trTDbvMdiGeKTQ3tls-x26SU7ou-HGaVxY2YNnqMj4ZS7lSSzkDYgX4loLgPdoldnqUqBayIZno51) The Vectrex rendered images by drawing variations of dots, & sharp and smooth lines, even though it flopped it was groundbreaking for its time. There was also an 80s arcade game called “Dragons Lair” that didn’t use pixel art or lines. It was pre-rendered (hand drawen) to look like one of those old Disney movies!! ![DRAGON'S LAIR Director Wanted - Last Movie Outpost](https://lastmovieoutpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Dragons-Lair-Image.jpg) This is real btw, they used something called a laserdisc to store the images. Personally, I do think there should be an option to make games that aren’t pixel art, it would just need to be in a diffrent mode or something, like: “create new project, would you like this game to be pixel art, or use pngs” or something along those lines ---

Why do people ask this all the time? It is not like it is currently because the mods want it to be, it is because makecode is not powerful enough. Try making the screen size bigger; you will see what I mean. ---

I’m saying they possibly could make a custom variant of the engine that’s functionally the same but just with bigger pictures, thats what I meant. I’m aware that base makecode is no were near powerful enough ---

people have asked for that already and the answer is NO I think its because of the way the hardware makes the music, but it would also probably because the makecode team would have to completely recode the music ---

I’m wondering if there is a way to create custom instruments for the song editor, either the devs making a new block or creating a typescript file, @richard is that possible? ---

Just general optimization features. Like a bigger color pallete, (probably extremely difficult or impossible) preloading extensions so that I don’t have to manually do it all again on the next project, or just bug fixes. ---
