can we get something like the box function in the image editor in the code editor, so we can select a large number of blocks to delete at once?

I guess general bug fixes…

At one point, I closed my project and opened another, and when that happened all my Scene tiles for (array of all [TILE] locations) went blank, it started bugging out a lot, luckily I had saved a link of the current version I just started editting that one instead.

I Want to see a update on the Sound/Music/Song editor For More Sounds or Maybe Even A Option To Sample From Other Music Or Songs! Also A Option to import Midi Files Would Be Nice (PLEASE ADD THE OPTION TO IMPORT MIDI FILES, I GO THROUGH HOOPS AND RAMPS FOR ONE SONG AND ALL OF IT WOULD BE SOLVED WITH A IMPORT BUTTON) Also For Midi, The Computer Computer for Piano, The Lemon Lemon for Guitar, Etc. (For The Sampling, It Should be Compressed so it sounds “retro” (pretty much the main theme for Makecode Arcade) (PLEASE ADD THIS OR ELSE ILL BEAT A TUNA WITH A TUNA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

We need more screen effects but not just particle ones. Im talking like with screen effects like shading or like a color haze.

ok so i have a hole list but i will go from the top 3

  1. we need a way to play online without having to have a code and not only 4 players
  2. we need it to be possible to make games that aren’t pixel art
  3. it shouldn’t stop your game from working if there’s a bug it just say there’s and error but still let you play the game

We kinda can do layers by using the Z (depth) property in one of the sprites blocks

But opacity? Sure

Having no pixel art is impossible for makecode; it has a 4-bit by 4-bit screen, meaning two things:

  1. it can only have 8-bit graphics
  2. 4 x 4 is 16; meaning it can only have 16 colors.

  1. We have that
  2. It’s called makecode arcade for a reason
  3. Well it’s better to leave it off at that since code could break and something worse could happen

Use it to put a sprite in front of or behind another, and even behind the tilemap

Regarding your first suggestion that’s a safety concern.

My list:

  1. A block to switch between radians and degrees. (Plz devs we haven’t gotten it at all and it’s been over 6 years)
  2. The ability to use 3rd party APIs. (With the websocket extension I think you can but I don’t want to deal with the hassle).
  3. Customizable ask for blocks. (To be able to customize the screen for ask for text or number they are terrible and boring. I do have a somewhat solution for this that we can do now. I might make a topic about that.)
  4. Fix glitchy block editor bug. (Where the blocks stay stuck to your mouse even when you stop clicking and won’t remove when you drag them to the toolbox area.)

For the first one yes please use sprite util it’s one of the best extensions
For 3 with the new keyboard ext it shouldn’t be that hard to combo it with a mini menu (which has a lot more customisation)
