# strobe light activity
Develop shapes with a for loop.

Welcome! This guided tutorial will teach how to develop shapes with a for loop. Let's get started!
### ~
Create a `for loop` that will loop from 0 to 4 to indicate the x-coordinates of the micro:bit display.
```blocks
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
}
```
Create another for loop that will loop from 0 to 4, indicating the y-coordinates of the micro:bit instead. This for loop will light each LED by column.
```blocks
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
}
}
```
We will light up each LED by plotting them individually.
```blocks
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
led.plot(i, j)
basic.pause(200)
}
}
```
The pause will add a delay between lighting each LED.
