Welcome! This tutorial will teach how design a **snowfall animation**. Let's get started!

Let's start by creating a `forever` loop that will allow us to repeat the show LEDs code. Any code in the `forever` loop will repeat in the background... forever.
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. . # . .
. # # # .
. . # . .
. . . . .
`)
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
`)
})
```
The next step is to add two `show LEDs` blocks inside the `forever` loop to repeat an animation.
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. . # . .
. # # # .
. . # . .
. . . . .
`)
basic.showLeds(`
. . # . .
. # . # .
# . . . #
. # . # .
. . # . .
`)
})

Run your code in the simulator or download it to your BBC micro:bit to see what happens!
