### Challenge 2
Replace "y" in `acceleration(y)` with "x" or "z". Changing the axis will cause the micro:bit to measure the force in a different direction. What differences in the resulting pattern does this replacement make?

# truth or dare tutorial
### ~avatar avatar
### @video td/videos/truth-or-dare-0
The *Truth or dare!* game works as follows: a player spins the BBC micro:bit on the table.
When the micro:bit stops spinning, the player pointed by the arrow (displayed on screen) must press the button "A"
to see if she has to provide a *truth* or a *dare*.
### ~
### Rebuild the game!
The blocks have been shuffled! Put them back together so that...
* an up arrow is displayed when the micro:bit is powered on.
* on button `A` is pressed,
* randomly display "TRUTH" or "DARE" on the screen
* show the up arrow again.
