# glowing sword activity
Make glowing sword. #docs #microbit
### ~avatar avatar
### @video td/videos/glowing-sword-0
In this activity, we will learn how to fade in and out the screen to create a glowing animation. Let's get started!
### ~
Let's start by adding the code to display an image. Use `basic->plot image` to draw your favorite image.
```
basic.plotImage(`
. . . . #
# . . # .
. # # . .
. # # . .
# . . # .
`) // ***
```
We can control the brightness of the LED screen with code. That's just what we need to create a **glowing** animation: first we **fade out**, then **fade in**. Add a new line of code to **fade out** the screen.
```
basic.plotImage(`
. . . . #
# . . # .
. # # . .
. # # . .
# . . # .
`)
led.fadeOut(700) // ***
```
Run your script to make sure it works as expected then add another line of code to **fade in** the screen.
```
led.fadeIn(700)
```
Finally, add a `basic->forever` loop and move the fade out and fade in code into the forever to repeat the glow pattern.
```
basic.plotImage(`
. . . . #
# . . # .
. # # . .
. # # . .
# . . # .
`)
led.fadeOut(700) // ***
led.fadeIn(700) // ***
```

# glowing sword challenges
Coding challenges for the glowing sword tutorial. #docs
## Before we get started
Complete the [glowing sword](/microbit/lessons/glowing-sword/activity) activity and your code will look like this:
```
basic.plotImage(`
. . . . #
# . . # .
. # # . .
. # # . .
# . . # .
`)
led.fadeOut(700)
```
### Challenge 1
Now, let's add `basic->pause(1000)` after the fade in so that there will be a 1000 millisecond (1 second) delay after the fade out.
```
basic.plotImage(`
. . . . #
# . . # .
. # # . .
. # # . .
# . . # .
`)
led.fadeOut(700)
basic.pause(1000) // ***
```
* `run main` the code to see if it works as expected.
### Challenge 2
### @video td/videos/glowing-sword-2
After the pause, let's add `led->fade in(2000)` so that we can create a glowing effect.
```
basic.plotImage(`
. . . . #
# . . # .
. # # . .
. # # . .
# . . # .
`)
led.fadeOut(700)
basic.pause(1000)
led.fadeIn(2000) // ***
```
* `run main` the code to see if it works as expected.
### Challenge 3
Now add another `basic->pause(1000)` and `led->fade out(900)` so that the sword can fade out again.

# glowing sword quiz answers
The answers for the glowing sword quiz. #LED #image #fade #docs
This is the answer key for the [glowing sword quiz](/microbit/lessons/glowing-sword/quiz).
## 1. What is "fade out" ?
Fade out is a method that gradually decreases the LED screen brightness until the LED lights are turned off.
## 2. Consider the following code
```
basic.plotImage(`
. . . . #
# . . # .
. # # . .
. # # . .
# . . # .
`)
led.fadeOut(700)
```
Rewrite the second line of code to decrease the speed of the fade out for the longest amount of time (Hint: 1000 milliseconds is longest amount of time for a fade out).
<br/>
led->fade out(1000)
## 4. Consider the following code
```
basic.plotImage(`
. . . . #
# . . # .
. # # . .
. # # . .
# . . # .
`)
led.fadeOut(1000)
```
What will cause the image to fade back in twice as fast as it faded out?
<br/>
led->fade in(500)
