# Dice

|
|
||
|
## Introduction @unplugged
|
||
|
|
||
|
Let's turn the @boardname@ into a dice!
|
||

## Step 1 @fullscreen
|
||
|
|
||
|
We need 3 pieces of code: one to detect a throw (shake), another to pick a random number, and then one to show the number.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Place the ``||input:on shake||`` block onto the editor workspace. It runs code when you shake the @boardname@.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```blocks
|
||
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||
|
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Step 2 @fullscreen
|
||
|
|
||
|
Get a ``||basic:show number||`` block and place it inside the ``||input:on shake||`` block to display a number.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```blocks
|
||
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||
|
basic.showNumber(0)
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Step 3 @fullscreen
|
||
|
|
||
|
Put a ``||Math:pick random||`` block in the ``||basic:show number||`` block to pick a random number.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```blocks
|
||
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||
|
basic.showNumber(Math.randomRange(0, 10))
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Step 4 @fullscreen
|
||
|
|
||
|
A typical dice shows values from `1` to `6`. So, in ``||Math:pick random||``, don't forget to choose the right minimum and maximum values!
|
||
|
|
||
|
```blocks
|
||
|
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||
|
basic.showNumber(Math.randomRange(1, 6))
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Step 5
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use the simulator to try out your code. Does it show the number you expected?
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Step 6
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you have a @boardname@ connected, click ``|Download|`` and transfer your code to the @boardname@!
