+    Microsoft ResX Schema 
+    
+    Version 2.0
+    
+    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
+    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
+    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
+    associated with the data types.
+    
+    Example:
+    
+    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
+    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
+    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
+    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
+    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
+    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
+    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
+    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
+        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
+    </data>
+    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
+        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
+        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
+    </data>
+                
+    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
+    name/value pairs.
+    
+    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
+    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
+    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
+    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
+    mimetype set.
+    
+    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
+    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
+    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
+    
+    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
+    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
+    read any of the formats listed below.
+    
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized with 
+            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
+    
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized with 
+            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
+
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
+            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

+    Microsoft ResX Schema 
+    
+    Version 2.0
+    
+    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
+    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
+    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
+    associated with the data types.
+    
+    Example:
+    
+    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
+    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
+    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
+    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
+    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
+    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
+    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
+    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
+        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
+    </data>
+    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
+        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
+        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
+    </data>
+                
+    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
+    name/value pairs.
+    
+    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
+    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
+    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
+    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
+    mimetype set.
+    
+    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
+    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
+    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
+    
+    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
+    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
+    read any of the formats listed below.
+    
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized with 
+            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
+    
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized with 
+            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
+
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
+            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

+    Microsoft ResX Schema 
+    
+    Version 2.0
+    
+    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
+    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
+    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
+    associated with the data types.
+    
+    Example:
+    
+    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
+    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
+    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
+    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
+    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
+    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
+    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
+    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
+        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
+    </data>
+    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
+        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
+        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
+    </data>
+                
+    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
+    name/value pairs.
+    
+    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
+    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
+    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
+    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
+    mimetype set.
+    
+    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
+    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
+    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
+    
+    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
+    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
+    read any of the formats listed below.
+    
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized with 
+            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
+    
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized with 
+            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
+
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
+            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-### ~avatar avatar
-
-Build a Rock Paper Scissors game with the BBC micro:bit!  You can play
-the game with a friend who has it on a micro:bit.  You can also play
-it with friends who are just using their hands.  (The game is built
-like a coin flipper, but with three choices instead of two.)
-
-### ~
-
-## Step 1: Getting started
-
-We want the micro:bit to choose rock, paper, or scissors when you
-shake it.  Try creating an ``on shake`` block so when you shake the
-micro:bit, it will run part of a program.
-
-Clear up the blocks and add the blocks below.
-
-```blocks
-input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
-    
-})
-```
-
-Next, when you shake the micro:bit, it should pick a random number from `0` to `2`
-and store it in the variable `item`.
-
-Add a ``set`` block with a variable. Then add a ``pick random`` block,
-and store the random number in the variable,
-like this:
-
-```blocks
-input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
-    let item = Math.random(3)
-})
-
-```
-
-### ~hint
-No one can predict random numbers. That's what makes them great for Rock Paper Scissors!
-### ~
-
-Each possible number these blocks can make (`0`, `1`, or `2`) means a different picture.
-We will show the right picture for that number on the LED screen.
-
-
-## Step 2: Picking paper
-
-Put an ``if`` block after the ``let`` block that checks whether
-`item` is `0`. Make sure the ``if`` block has an ``else if`` part
-and an ``else`` part.
-
-Next, add a ``show leds`` block that shows a
-picture of a piece of paper:
-
-```blocks
-input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
-    let item = Math.random(3)
-    if (item == 0) {
-        basic.showLeds(`
-            # # # # #
-            # . . . #
-            # . . . #
-            # . . . #
-            # # # # #
-            `)
-    } else if (false) {
-
-    } else {
-
-    }
-})
-```
-
-## Step 3: A random rock
-
-Now we are going to add a new picture for the micro:bit to show
-when another random number comes up.
-
-Make the ``else if`` part check if the variable `item` is `1`.
-Then add a ``show leds`` block with a picture of a rock.
-
-```blocks
-input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
-    let item = Math.random(3)
-    if (item == 0) {
-        basic.showLeds(`
-            # # # # #
-            # . . . #
-            # . . . #
-            # . . . #
-            # # # # #
-            `)
-    } else if (item == 1) {
-        basic.showLeds(`
-            . . . . .
-            . # # # .
-            . # # # .
-            . # # # .
-            . . . . .
-            `)
-    } else {
-
-    }
-})
-```
-
-## Step 4: Suddenly scissors
-
-Add a ``show leds`` block with a picture of scissors to the ``else`` part:
-
-```blocks
-input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
-    let item = Math.random(3)
-    if (item == 0) {
-        basic.showLeds(`
-            # # # # #
-            # . . . #
-            # . . . #
-            # . . . #
-            # # # # #
-            `)
-
-    } else if (item == 1) {
-        basic.showLeds(`
-            . . . . .
-            . # # # .
-            . # # # .
-            . # # # .
-            . . . . .
-            `)
-    } else {
-        basic.showLeds(`
-            # # . . #
-            # # . # .
-            . . # . .
-            # # . # .
-            # # . . #
-            `)
-    }
-})
-
-```
-
-### ~hint
-
-You don't need to check if `item` is `2` because `2` is the only number left out of `0`, `1`, and `2`.
-That's why you can use an ``else`` instead of an ``else if``.
-
-### ~
-
-Your game is ready!
-
-Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
-
-Have fun!
-
-## Step 5: Are you the greatest?
-
-Here is a way you can make your Rock Paper Scissors game better.
-When button ``A`` is pressed, 
-the micro:bit will add `1` to your score.
-
-Open the ``Game`` drawer, and then add the block ``change score by 1`` to your program,
-like this:
-
-```blocks
-input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
-    game.addScore(1)
-})
-
-```
-
-## Step 6: Prove you're the greatest!
-
-After your micro:bit can add `1` to the score, show how many wins you have.
-
-```blocks
-input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
-    game.addScore(1)
-    basic.showString("WINS:")
-    basic.showNumber(game.score())
-})
-```
-## Step 7: Staying honest
-
-Success! Your micro:bit can track wins!
-But what about losses? 
-Use the ``Game`` drawer to subtract `1` from your score when you press button `B`. 
-
-Here are all the blocks you will need:
-
-```shuffle
-input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
-    game.addScore(-1)
-    basic.showString("LOSSES:")
-    basic.showNumber(game.score())
-})
-```
-Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
-
-## Your turn!

-How else can you make your game better?

+shake it.  Try creating an ``on shake`` block so when you shake the
+micro:bit, it will run part of a program.
+
+Clear up the blocks and add the blocks below.
+
+```blocks
+input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
+    
+})
+```
+
+Next, when you shake the micro:bit, it should pick a random number from `0` to `2`
+and store it in the variable `item`.
+
+Add a ``set`` block with a variable. Then add a ``pick random`` block,
+and store the random number in the variable,
+like this:
+
+```blocks
+input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
+    let item = Math.random(3)
+})
+
+```
+
+### ~hint
+No one can predict random numbers. That's what makes them great for Rock Paper Scissors!
+### ~
+
+Each possible number these blocks can make (`0`, `1`, or `2`) means a different picture.
+We will show the right picture for that number on the LED screen.
+
+
+## Step 2: Picking paper
+
+Put an ``if`` block after the ``let`` block that checks whether
+`item` is `0`. Make sure the ``if`` block has an ``else if`` part
+and an ``else`` part.
+
+Next, add a ``show leds`` block that shows a
+picture of a piece of paper:
+
+```blocks
+input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
+    let item = Math.random(3)
+    if (item == 0) {
+        basic.showLeds(`
+            # # # # #
+            # . . . #
+            # . . . #
+            # . . . #
+            # # # # #
+            `)
+    } else if (false) {
+
+    } else {
+
+    }
+})
+```
+
+## Step 3: A random rock
+
+Now we are going to add a new picture for the micro:bit to show
+when another random number comes up.
+
+Make the ``else if`` part check if the variable `item` is `1`.
+Then add a ``show leds`` block with a picture of a rock.
+
+```blocks
+input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
+    let item = Math.random(3)
+    if (item == 0) {
+        basic.showLeds(`
+            # # # # #
+            # . . . #
+            # . . . #
+            # . . . #
+            # # # # #
+            `)
+    } else if (item == 1) {
+        basic.showLeds(`
+            . . . . .
+            . # # # .
+            . # # # .
+            . # # # .
+            . . . . .
+            `)
+    } else {
+
+    }
+})
+```
+
+## Step 4: Suddenly scissors
+
+Add a ``show leds`` block with a picture of scissors to the ``else`` part:
+
+```blocks
+input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
+    let item = Math.random(3)
+    if (item == 0) {
+        basic.showLeds(`
+            # # # # #
+            # . . . #
+            # . . . #
+            # . . . #
+            # # # # #
+            `)
+
+    } else if (item == 1) {
+        basic.showLeds(`
+            . . . . .
+            . # # # .
+            . # # # .
+            . # # # .
+            . . . . .
+            `)
+    } else {
+        basic.showLeds(`
+            # # . . #
+            # # . # .
+            . . # . .
+            # # . # .
+            # # . . #
+            `)
+    }
+})
+
+```
+
+### ~hint
+
+You don't need to check if `item` is `2` because `2` is the only number left out of `0`, `1`, and `2`.
+That's why you can use an ``else`` instead of an ``else if``.

+
+Your game is ready!
+
+Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
+
+Have fun!
+
+## Step 5: Are you the greatest?
+
+Here is a way you can make your Rock Paper Scissors game better.
+When button ``A`` is pressed, 
+the micro:bit will add `1` to your score.
+
+Open the ``Game`` drawer, and then add the block ``change score by 1`` to your program,
+like this:
+
+```blocks
+input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
+    game.addScore(1)
+})
+
+```
+
+## Step 6: Prove you're the greatest!
+
+After your micro:bit can add `1` to the score, show how many wins you have.
+
+```blocks
+input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
+    game.addScore(1)
+    basic.showString("WINS:")
+    basic.showNumber(game.score())
+})
+```
+## Step 7: Staying honest
+
+Success! Your micro:bit can track wins!
+But what about losses? 
+Use the ``Game`` drawer to subtract `1` from your score when you press button `B`. 
+
+Here are all the blocks you will need:
+
+```shuffle
+input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
+    game.addScore(-1)
+    basic.showString("LOSSES:")
+    basic.showNumber(game.score())
+})
+```

+# JavaScript
+
+You can write micro:bit programs in a subset of [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org), a superset of JavaScript.
+Many micro:bit programs, especially at the beginner's level, are just plain JavaScript. TypeScript introduces class-based 
+object-oriented programming, such as:
+
+```typescript
+class Greeter {
+    greeting: string;
+    constructor(message: string) {
+        this.greeting = message;
+    }
+    greet() {
+        return "Hello, " + this.greeting;
+    }
+}
+
+let greeter = new Greeter("world");
+basic.showString(greeter.greet())
+```
+
+This site is meant for teaching programming first, and JavaScript second. For this
+reason, we have stayed away from concepts that are specific to JavaScript (for
+example, prototype inheritance), and instead focused on ones common to most
+modern programming languages (for example, loops, lexically scoped variables,
+functions, classes, lambdas).
+
+We leverage TypeScript's [type inference](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-inference.html) so that
+students need not specify types when clear from context.
+
+## Supported language features
+
+* top-level code in the file: "Hello world!" really is just `basic.showString("Hello world!")`
+* [basic types](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/basic-types.html)
+* [variable declarations](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/variable-declarations.html): `let`, `const`, and `var`
+* [functions](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/functions.html) with lexical scoping and recursion
+
+### User-defined types and modules
+
+* [classes](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/classes.html) with fields, methods and constructors; `new` keyword
+* [enums](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/enums.html)
+* [namespaces](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/namespaces.html)  (a form of modules) 
+
+### Control-flow constructs
+
+* `if ... else if ... else` statements
+* `while` and `do ... while` loops
+* `for(;;)` loops (see below about `for ... in/of`)
+* `break/continue`; also with labeled loops
+* `switch` statement (on numbers only)
+* `debugger` statement for breakpoints
+
+### Expressions
+
+* conditional operator `? :`; lazy boolean operators
+* all arithmetic operators (including bitwise operators); note that in microcontroller targets
+  all arithmetic is performed on integers, also when simulating in the browser
+* strings (with a few common methods)
+* [string templates](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals) (`` `x is ${x}` ``)
+* arrow functions `() => ...`
+* array literals `[1, 2, 3]`
+
+
+## Unsupported language features
+
+We generally stay away from the more dynamic parts of JavaScript. 
+Things you may miss and we may implement:
+
+* exceptions (`throw`, `try ... catch`, `try ... finally`)
+* `for ... of` statements
+* object literals `{ foo: 1, bar: "two" }`
+* method-like properties (get/set accessors)
+* class inheritance
