Coding challenges for the snowflake fall tutorial. #docs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Before we get started
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Complete the [snowflake fall](/microbit/lessons/snowflake-fall/activity) activity and your code will look like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
||
|
|
basic.showAnimation(`
|
||
|
|
. . . . .
|
||
|
|
. . # . .
|
||
|
|
. # # # .
|
||
|
|
. . # . .
|
||
|
|
. . . . .
|
||
|
|
`, 400)
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Challenge 1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### @video td/videos/snowflake-fall-1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's begin creating our falling effect by adding another snowflake with `basic->show animation` that displays a different snowflake pattern after the first one. We need 2 frames in the new animation that display both the first and the second snowflake images.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
||
|
|
basic.showAnimation(`
|
||
|
|
. . . . . . . # . .
|
||
|
|
. . # . . . # . # .
|
||
|
|
. # # # . # . . . #
|
||
|
|
. . # . . . # . # .
|
||
|
|
. . . . . . . # . .
|
||
|
|
`, 400) // ***
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Run your program to see the cool animation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Challenge 2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### @video td/videos/snowflake-fall-2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To finalize our snowflake fall, let's add a different snowflake pattern.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
||
|
|
basic.showAnimation(`
|
||
|
|
. . . . . . . # . . . # . # .
|
||
|
|
. . # . . . # . # . # # . # #
|
||
|
|
. # # # . # . . . # . . . . .
|
||
|
|
. . # . . . # . # . # # . # #
|
||
|
|
. . . . . . . # . . . # . # .
|
||
|
|
`, 400) // ***
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Run your program and see if it works.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Challenge 3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add a fourth frame to the current animation... or make it your own!
