## Code
The goal of this project is to create virtual fireflies using @boardname@ that mimic the real fireflies.
After reading the article, there are a few sentences that stand out to help.
We want to create virtual fireflies using multiple @boardname@ (each @boardname@ acts as a firefly).
Let's review some of the key points of the article:
### "Each firefly has its own individual internal clock"

### "and every time the clock “strikes twelve”, it flashes."
So we need a [forever](/reference/basic/forever) loop to increment the clock.
When the clock reaches "noon" (let's pick 8), we turn on the screen breifly.
We can use a [forever](/reference/basic/forever) loop to repeat code that increments the clock.
When the clock reaches "noon" (let's pick `8`), we turn on the screen breifly (by using the game score animation)

### Step 1: when you see a nearby firefly flash, nudge your clock a little bit forward.
We will use radio messages to simulate the vision of fireflies.
The @boardname@ can send radio messages to neibhor @boardname@.
We can use these messages to simulate the "flashes" of light.
* When a firefly flashes, it also sends a number over radio using [radio send number](/reference/radio/send-number).

Download this program on as many @boardname@ as you can find and try it out in a dark room!
Now that we have all the parts needed to build our firefly simulator, we can assemble it into a program.
We've add a [radio set group](/reference/radio/set-group) block to specify which group the firefly will communicate on. Download this program on as many @boardname@ as you can find and try it out in a dark room!
