# flashing heart blocks challenges
Coding challenges for the flashing heart tutorial.
## Before we get started
2016-04-13 17:27:45 +02:00
Complete the [flashing heart](/lessons/flashing-heart/activity) activity and your code will look like this:
2016-03-26 00:47:20 +01:00
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen()
basic.pause(500)
})
```
### Challenge 1
Let's plot a different image. Let's display a broken heart!
To do this, you need to add a block between the last line and the end loop. Add a `show LEDs` block and then add a `pause` of 500 milliseconds.
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen()
basic.pause(500)
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# . # # #
# . . # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
})
```
* click *run main* to see if the code works as expected.
### Challenge 2
Now let's alternate flashing the heart and the broken heart. To do this, we need to add a `clear screen` block and then add a `pause` block of 500 milliseconds under the new code we added in Challenge 1.
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# . # # #
# . . # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen()
basic.pause(500)
basic.showLeds(`
. # . # .
# . # # #
# . . # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen()
basic.pause(500)
})
```
* click *run main* to see if the code works as expected.
### Challenge 3
You now have a heart and broken heart flashing! Now plot a new image to alternate in with the heart and broken heart.
