Huh, it should put the hardware to sleep (screen turns off) but you’re right, I don’t see it working on my hardware either. Looks like you found a bug! ---

I’ve filed an issue for it here: [https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues/2413](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues/2413) ---

How did you guys code this coding engine or something like that? ---

Good question – the repo richard linked ([https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade)) is the portion that pulls things together for [arcade.makecode.com](http://arcade.makecode.com); it has stuff that is specific to that site, like the tutorials, theming, links to the simulator, etc. pxt-arcade has dependencies on other packages (basically the same as extensions - code that lives somewhere else that you use), including things like - [https://github.com/microsoft/pxt](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt), which contains most of the webapp - things like the home page, the way tutorials / editors work, etc - [https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages), which contains things like the code for the blocks in the game and sprites categories - [https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-blockly](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-blockly), which has code related to the blocks themselves - how they’re created, what they look like, etc - and a bunch more! Which end up working together to create the editor! Most of the stuff is written in TypeScript (similar to the javascript you’d find / write within the editor itself), though there is a variety of things within the repo - documentation, html (a language that helps describe the structure of a website), css / less (languages that describe how a website looks), etc. And it’s important to note that not everything came at once; just like if you’re building a game in arcade, you build larger things piece by piece over time.
