Welcome! This tutorial will help you create a magic 8 ball on the BBC micro:bit. Let's get started!
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
To create a new script, go to the [Create Code](/microbit/create-code) page and tap *New Project* under **Touch Develop**.
|
||||
|
||||
Show a string to instruct the user how to play Magic 8! The magic 8 ball can only answer true or false questions.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
basic.showString("Ask a question", 150)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Display the number 8.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
basic.showString("Ask a question", 150)
|
||||
basic.showNumber(8, 150)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Run your program
|
||||
|
||||
Register code to run when the BBC micro:bit is shaken.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
basic.showString("Ask a question", 150)
|
||||
basic.showNumber(8, 150)
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create a variable of type number called **x**.
|
||||
|
||||
Set **x** equal to a random number with a limit of 3.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember the random function in the math library, picks a random number from 0 to the limit, but not including the limit unless it is 0.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
basic.showString("Ask a question", 150)
|
||||
basic.showNumber(8, 150)
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let x = Math.random(3)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create an if statement for the condition `if x= 2`.
|
||||
|
||||
If **x** is 2, display the string 'Yes'
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
basic.showString("Ask a question", 150)
|
||||
basic.showNumber(8, 150)
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let x1 = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (x1 == 2) {
|
||||
basic.showString("Yes", 150)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create an if statement for the condition `if x = 1`.
|
||||
|
||||
If ``x`` is 1, display the string 'No'
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
basic.showString("Ask a question", 150)
|
||||
basic.showNumber(8, 150)
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let x2 = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (x2 == 2) {
|
||||
basic.showString("Yes", 150)
|
||||
} else if (x2 == 1) {
|
||||
basic.showString("No", 150)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If **x** is not 2 or 1, it must be 0. This is the else condition.
|
||||
|
||||
If **x** is 0, display the string 'I don't know'
|
||||
|
||||
Display the number 8 so users know they can ask the magic 8 ball another question!
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
basic.showString("Ask a question", 150)
|
||||
basic.showNumber(8, 150)
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
basic.clearScreen()
|
||||
let randomNumber = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (randomNumber == 2) {
|
||||
basic.showString("Yes", 150)
|
||||
} else if (randomNumber == 1) {
|
||||
basic.showString("No", 150)
|
||||
}
|
||||
else {
|
||||
basic.showString("I don't know", 150)
|
||||
}
|
||||
basic.showNumber(8, 150)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Run your program
