Welcome! Place the ``||show string||`` block in the ``||on start||`` slot to scroll your name.

```blocks
basic.showString("Micro!")
```

### Step 2

Click ``|Download|`` to transfer your code in your @boardname@!

### Step 3

The text stopped. Place the ``||show string||`` block in the ``||on button pressed||``
slot to scroll your name when button **A** is pressed.

});

    # # . # #
    # # . # #
    . . . . .
    # . . . #
    . # # # .
    `)
})
```

Place the ``||show number||`` and ``||pick random||`` blocks
in the ``||on shake||`` slot to build a dice.
