if u want layers at least what i know, u can download the arcade-background-scroll extension and make layers like that on backgrounds.

we also just got an august update giving us the piano roll extension. (just look up piano u will find it) We also have this [awesome cool thingy for converting](https://forum.makecode.com/t/arcademidi-extension/15079).

a random tilemap generator can be tricky because u might have half the tilemap be blocked off.

if u want a bigger screen, just go to javascript, go to the top of ur code and put in this:

namespace userconfig {  
export const ARCADE\_SCREEN\_WIDTH = 320  
export const ARCADE\_SCREEN\_HEIGHT = 240  
}
