Use the **Basic** drawer in the editor (to the left)
|
2016-06-16 16:21:59 -04:00
|
|
|
to drag out and arrange three blocks (two `show leds` and one `forever` block)
|
2016-06-16 16:15:24 -04:00
|
|
|
to create this program:

```blocks

|
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
|
|
|
|
basic.showLeds(`

When this program runs, you will see a smiley face, then a blank
|
2016-06-02 15:25:19 -07:00
|
|
|
screen, then a smiley again -- it never stops! (That's because of the
|
|
|
|
|
``forever`` block.)
