# rotation animation challenges
|
||||
|
||||
Coding challenges for the rotation animation tutorial. #docs
|
||||
|
||||
## Before we get started
|
||||
|
||||
Complete the following guided tutorial:
|
||||
|
||||
* [tutorial](/microbit/lessons/rotation-animation/tutorial)
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of the tutorial, click `keep editing`. Your code should look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
rotating = true
|
||||
while (rotating) {
|
||||
basic.showAnimation(`
|
||||
# . . . . . . # . . . . . . # . . . . .
|
||||
. # . . . . . # . . . . . # . . . . . .
|
||||
. . # . . . . # . . . . # . . # # # # #
|
||||
. . . # . . . # . . . # . . . . . . . .
|
||||
. . . . # . . # . . # . . . . . . . . .
|
||||
`, 400)
|
||||
basic.pause(25)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Challenge 1
|
||||
|
||||
Now let's add to this by creating a condition for on button pressed `A` before the while loop.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
rotating = true
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed("A", () => {
|
||||
}) // ***
|
||||
while (rotating) {
|
||||
basic.showAnimation(`
|
||||
# . . . . . . # . . . . . . # . . . . .
|
||||
. # . . . . . # . . . . . # . . . . . .
|
||||
. . # . . . . # . . . . # . . # # # # #
|
||||
. . . # . . . # . . . # . . . . . . . .
|
||||
. . . . # . . # . . # . . . . . . . . .
|
||||
`, 400)
|
||||
basic.pause(25)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Challenge 2
|
||||
|
||||
### @video td/videos/rotation-animation-1-and-2
|
||||
|
||||
Now that we have the on button pressed condition, let's make the animation stop rotating by setting the rotating global variable to false when button `A` is pressed.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
rotating = true
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed("A", () => {
|
||||
rotating = false // ***
|
||||
}) // ***
|
||||
while (rotating) {
|
||||
basic.showAnimation(`
|
||||
# . . . . . . # . . . . . . # . . . . .
|
||||
. # . . . . . # . . . . . # . . . . . .
|
||||
. . # . . . . # . . . . # . . # # # # #
|
||||
. . . # . . . # . . . # . . . . . . . .
|
||||
. . . . # . . # . . # . . . . . . . . .
|
||||
`, 400)
|
||||
basic.pause(25)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Run the code to see the awesome rotation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Challenge 3
|
||||
|
||||
Let's also make the image rotate the opposite way when button A is pressed! We can do this with another while loop that is only executed while `not rotating`.

## Topic
|
||||
|
||||
While Loop - Rotating Animations
|
||||
|
||||
## Class
|
||||
|
||||
Year 7
|
||||
|
||||
## Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work
|
||||
|
||||
Learn how to create images that look like a rotating animation by using a while loop. We will be learning how to create a rotating animation using a global variable, while loop as well as simple commands, such as on button pressed and show animation.
|
||||
|
||||
## What the teacher needs to know
|
||||
|
||||
**Program:** A stored set of instructions encoded in a language understood by the computer that does some form of computation, processing input and/or stored data to generate output.**
|
||||
|
||||
**Algorithm:** An unambiguous set of rules or a precise step-by-step guide to solve a problem or achieve a particular objective. The guided tutorial follows a algorithm and is a precise step-by-step guide to solve a problem**
|
||||
|
||||
**Loop:** A block of code repeated automatically under the program’s control. ** The blink program introduces Forever. Forever will repeats code in the background forever.
|
||||
|
||||
**Command:** An instruction for the computer to execute, written in a particular programming language.**

# rotation animation quiz answers
|
||||
|
||||
Learn how to create a rotating image with a while loop. #image #loop #while #docs
|
||||
|
||||
This is the answer key for the [rotation animation quiz](/microbit/lessons/rotation-animation/quiz).
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. What is a "global variable"?
|
||||
|
||||
Answers may vary. A global variable is a place where you can store data so that you can use it later in your code.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Consider the following directions
|
||||
|
||||
Write the code to create a **global variable** called `foo` that stores a boolean and initialize it to **false**.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
rotating = true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Consider the following code
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
while (rotating) {
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Explain what this line of code does.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
It is a **while** loop that will be executed only if the **global variable** called `rotating` is **true**.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Consider the following code
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
basic.showAnimation(`
|
||||
# . . . . . . # . . . . . . # . . . . .
|
||||
. # . . . . . # . . . . . # . . . . . .
|
||||
. . # . . . . # . . . . # . . # # # # #
|
||||
. . . # . . . # . . . # . . . . . . . .
|
||||
. . . . # . . # . . # . . . . . . . . .
|
||||
`, 400)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the rectangle below represents the BBC micro:bit, shade the areas that will be displayed. Explain why that particular area is shaded.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Show animation will show a series of image frames on the LED screen, pausing the specified time (400 milliseconds) after each frame
