Infection game does not seem to translate well into blocks

[fizban99]

I am taking a look at the infection game but I guess is one example of code that cannot be converted into blocks. I get an error if I try to see the Blocks equivalent. I thought that everything could be converted, although some things would become grey blocks... There seems to be exceptions, though... If that is the case, it would be nice to get a warning either in the infection project page or in the pxt editor itself... https://pxt.microbit.org/projects/infection

This is an issue with the block compilation; looks like we are not inferring the type of the "players" variable correctly. It's being initialized to a string rather than an array. The likely culprit is the blockly "length" block because it works for both strings and arrays and might be confusing things.

Deferring to #2349 which has a better repro

@riknoll @pelikhan @abchatra Have another support ticket about this. The code still does not convert to blocks,

https://makecode.microbit.org/94575-30587-68669-98014

though following this ticket through it looks like the underlying issue was resolved.

As with original request here, the docs should be updated if this project can only run from Javascript
