Can you make a flashlight that actually works ---

You can use the shaders extension (riknoll/arcade-shaders). First create a flashlight sprite and make everything else black. Next, create a shader in the shape of a flashlight beam. On A (or any other) button pressed, if the light beam is visible, set the invisible flag to true and vice versa ---

Well, you could just the screen to be white for it to be in real life 😉 You can also use @felixtsu’s lantern extension: > [@Hope this ext can bring some light(s)](https://forum.makecode.com/t/hope-this-ext-can-bring-some-light-s/3229): > > [Screen-Recording-2020-08-25-at-1] [Screen-Recording-2020-08-25-at-1 (1)] With a little bit of modification to @richard’s [pxt-lantern](https://github.com/riknoll/pxt-lantern), this extension brings multiple light source. A demo project is here The breathing effect in the original ext is not supported yet. * * * **SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION** I have curated a list of extensions, which you can find [here](https://github.com/UnsignedArduino/Awesome-Arcade-Extensions). ---

Hmmmm…why would someone block _GitHub?_ What’s wrong with it? If you click `Advanced` and then `Extensions`: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/5/5bda6f0dded474c92b416e9e5c32af0773a67656.png) It should bring up this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/a/acf45d7f560764cd3791a22f0c5d208777cb1eed.png) Paste in the GitHub URL here: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/2/2e4ae9a079fab8417c9cb10f3209da7f0c5e8d6b.png) If it fails, you are going to have to find a way to access GitHub. ---

I do not want to motivate you to do anything against your parents wishes/concerns, but there is a way you can access github. You can open an incognito tab in chrome, go to [forum.makecode.com](http://forum.makecode.com) and find this topic. Next click on UnsignedArduino’s link to his github list. You should be able to access it. If you have a chromebook, login as a guest and do the same if the previous method fails. ---

If his/her parents block the website network-wide, then that method is useless. ---

Now all you have to do is set the flashlight beam distance to 16 and you have a working horror game! ---
