# screen wipe activity
Clear the screen by pressing buttons on the BBC micro:bit #docs #tutorials #stepByStep

This activity will teach how to clear the screen by pressing button ``A`` on the BBC micro:bit.

You can use the `basic->clear screen` function to turn off all the LED on the screen. Let's illustrate this concept with a small script where the user has to press the button ``A`` to turn off the screen. Let's start by adding the code to show an animation.
```
basic.showAnimation(`
# # # # # # # # # # . . . . . . . . . .
# # # # # # # # # # . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . # # # # # # # # # # . . . . .
. . . . . # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . # # # # #
`, 400) // ***
```
We add another line of code that registers an **event handler** on the `input->on button pressed(A)` and calls `basic->clear screen`.
```
basic.showAnimation(`
# # # # # # # # # # . . . . . . . . . .
# # # # # # # # # # . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . # # # # # # # # # # . . . . .
. . . . . # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . # # # # #
`, 400)
input.onButtonPressed("A", () => {
basic.clearScreen() // ***
}) // ***
```
Run the script in the simulator or on the BBC micro:bit to see how this works!
