I am making a game that i push to github. I found something similar from Feb 6. 2020.

> One day, I was working on a platformer game based on “Jumpy Platformer”(in blocks). I switched in Javascript and it just happened that it said “Oops, something went wrong trying to convert your code.” I didn’t write or do anything. What should I do to fix this and prevent this from happening again.

But my code doesen’t use:

> img’…

i use:

> assets.image’…’

So i don’t get why i get this error. I _could_ just code in TS but i am not that good at it and prefer blocks.

If you fix it you can push to github and i’ll look into it 🙂

Hello, I appear to be getting this error in my new project as well. I have systematically removed every bit of code one at a time to try and locate the issue. I also removed ALL of the code, same issue, I just cannot go back to blocks. Seems like a bug for sure. I can include anything you need, just let me know.

As a follow-up, here is my (JS) code that won’t convert to blocks:

```auto
enum ActionKind {
    Walking,
    Idle,
    Jumping
}
controller.left.onEvent(ControllerButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
    animation.runImageAnimation(
        mySprite,
        assets.animation`animWalkLeft`,
        250,
        true
    )
})
controller.right.onEvent(ControllerButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
    animation.runImageAnimation(
        mySprite,
        assets.animation`animWalkRight`,
        250,
        true
    )
})
let enemy: Sprite = null
function spawnEnemy() {
    enemy = sprites.create(assets.image`spriteGhrasto`, SpriteKind.Enemy)
    tiles.placeOnTile(enemy, tiles.getTileLocation(2, 7))
    enemy.follow(mySprite, 20)
}
sprites.onOverlap(SpriteKind.Player, SpriteKind.Enemy, function (sprite, otherSprite) {
    sprites.destroy(otherSprite, effects.spray, 500)
    info.changeScoreBy(1)
    scene.cameraShake(4, 500)
    music.play(music.randomizeSound(music.createSoundEffect(WaveShape.Noise, 5000, 1877, 255, 0, 500, SoundExpressionEffect.Warble, InterpolationCurve.Logarithmic)), music.PlaybackMode.UntilDone)
})
let mySprite: Sprite = null
scene.setBackgroundColor(15)
game.setDialogTextColor(2)
game.splash("Title")
game.setDialogTextColor(9)
game.splash("Dev Name")
scene.setBackgroundColor(9)
scene.createRenderable(scene.HUD_Z, function (target, camera) {
    const w = 40
    const h = 15
    const x = 2
    const y = 2

    // Draw outline
    screen.drawRect(
        x,
        y,
        w,
        h,
        / **black** / 0x0
    )
    // Fill inside rect
    screen.fillRect(
        x + 1,
        y + 1,
        w - 2,
        h - 2,
        / **black** / 0x0
    )
    // Fill it in with whatever else you want
    // text
    let t = info.score()
    screen.print(
        " " + t.toString(),
        x + 2,
        y + 4,
        / **white** / 0x1,
        image.font8
    )
    // or an image
    screen.drawTransparentImage(
        img`
            . . b . b . b
            . b b b b b .
            b . . b . . b
            b . . b . . b
            b b b b b b b
            . b . b . b .
            . . . . . . .
            . . b b b . .
        `,
        // if you want to space text horizontally,
        // note the t.length * image.font8.charWidth to
        // get the width of the text below
        x + 2,
        y + 4
    )
})
tiles.setCurrentTilemap(tilemap`roomBathDoomArena`)
mySprite = sprites.create(assets.image`Ducky`, SpriteKind.Player)
tiles.placeOnTile(mySprite, tiles.getTileLocation(4, 3))
animation.runImageAnimation(
    mySprite,
    assets.animation`animWalkRight`,
    500,
    true
)
game.onUpdate(function () {
    scene.cameraFollowSprite(mySprite)
    controller.moveSprite(mySprite, 50, 50)
})
game.onUpdateInterval(5000, function () {
    spawnEnemy()
})

```

Update: looks like it may have been a glitch in my actual project; I copy/pasted the code into a new project and was able to switch to block view. I’m going to copy all of my assets across to the new project and hopefully i’ll be g2g.

These kinds of issues are usually to do with an error in one of the system files, like `pxt.json` or such
