If you don’t mind me giving specifics on what could be fixed.

Fix these in mobile
  1. Layout | I couldn’t find a way to access the explorer so I couldn’t delete extensions.
  2. Blocks | Blocks in mobile are super touchy and often a pain to deal with.
  3. Simulator | So touchy even when playing a shared link. Also it’s really hard to debug because the debug mode on mobile needs the sim to be open to detect but you can’t see what error it is until you close the sim which is very annoying.

some sort of built in sprite collision. a way to make sprites collide with each other like walls.

Is there a way to run blocks without putting them in the main script (but instead just by clicking on them like in scratch)?

Also sprite rotation!

sprite rotation is already a thing with an extension. you can import it by copy pasting https://github.com/jwunderl/pxt-scaling into the extensions search bar.

actually, would it be possible to have games run better for browser only? like a browser mode that uncaps how much processing power it uses, or whatever it does. (i dont really know whats going on behind the scenes) but it would be great if that were possible because so much would be possible without having to worry about insane lag

  1. a way to remap buttons for controller in the editor my controllers buttons arent set correctly.

  2. more colours but i understand its not possible due to limitations.

  3. RTC (real time clock) support, it would be very useful for a game im making

  4. tilemap metadata such as assigning functions to a tile in the tilemap editor or adding data to it

  5. something i want the most is a way to run code from a string and such, such as the EXEC function

When will we get more multiplayer features such as every player having their own personal screen so we don’t have to use spilt screen

Games already run a lot better in the browser compared to the hardware MakeCode Arcade can deploy to. (Obviously depending on the computer itself)

People either need to get better computers or learn to optimize. :skull: (Which many modern games need a healthy dose of)

Or we get frame generation. :joy:

Maybe new tutorials on different types of game styles. Like one for inventory, or tower defence games, just saying we could do with some more tutorials.

PART FIVE: the forum verse!, CHANGING NAMES, PRONOUN SECTION, UNIQUE GIF SECTION (yk kinda likes disc’s one, but you make a new thread where you can submit ideas for gifs, then after a bit, they select some randomly, and add a new picture to the little menu bar atop the chatting block, (it’s just the word gif) and every month they hold a new competition for 3 gifs
