Use the **Basic** drawer in the editor (to the left)
|
2016-06-16 22:21:59 +02:00
|
|
|
to drag out and arrange three blocks (two `show leds` and one `forever` block)
|
2016-06-16 22:15:24 +02:00
|
|
|
to create this program:

```blocks
|
2016-06-02 20:38:14 +02:00
|
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
|
|
|
|
basic.showLeds(`

When this program runs, you will see a smiley face, then a blank
|
2016-06-03 00:25:19 +02:00
|
|
|
screen, then a smiley again -- it never stops! (That's because of the
|
|
|
|
|
``forever`` block.)
