remove the grey block, I don’t think they work on hardware, and set my sprite block doesn’t have any data, you have to fill it out.

Hi so there is several problems

1. ~~the challenge, demand sati-~~ Hardware does not support custom screen size so get rid of that
2. your sprite has no data
3. WHY ARE YOU DOWNLOADING SOMETHING SO SIMPLE

so the reason I was downloading a uf2 file is because the PNG part is gone after connecting with GitHub and I didn’t do anything wrong I was coding and I closed my comp and came back and boom this happened
