# micro:bit target for PXT
This target allow to program a [BBC micro:bit](https://www.microbit.co.uk/) using
[Microsoft Programming Experience Toolkit](https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt).
PXT ([Microsoft Programming Experience Toolkit](https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt)).
* [Try it live](https://m.pxt.io)
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Microsoft/pxt-microbit.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Microsoft/pxt-microbit)
# Getting started
## Local server
Please follow instructions at https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt#running-a-target-from-localhost
### Setup
The following commands are a 1-time setup after synching the repo on your machine.
* install the PXT command line
```
npm install -g pxt
```
* install the dependencies
```
npm install
```
### Running
Run this command to open a local web server:
```
pxt serve
```
If the local server opens in the wrong browser, make sure to copy the URL containing the local token.
Otherwise, the editor will not be able to load the projects.
If you need modify the `.cpp` files, turn on yotta compilation with the ``-yt`` flag:
```
pxt serve -yt
```
To make sure you're running the latest tools, run
```
npm update
```
More instructions at https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt#running-a-target-from-localhost
## Universal Windows App
The Windows 10 app is a [Universal Windows Hosted Web App](https://microsoftedge.github.io/WebAppsDocs/en-US/win10/CreateHWA.htm)

# Getting started
Are you ready to build cool BBC micro:bit programs? For each challenge, reorder the blocks to recreate the program.
### Show leds
Use the blocks below to draw a figure on the screen. You can redo the smiley face or try something else!
```shuffle
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
# . . . #
. # # # .
`)
```
To transfer your code to the BBC micro:bit,
* connect your micro:bit to the computer using the USB cable
* click on **Compile**
* drag&drop the **.hex** file into the **MICROBIT** drive
* wait till the yellow light is done blinking!
### Show animation Forever
Show one image after the other to create an animation by snapping them together.
```blocks
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
# . . . #
. # # # .
`)
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
. # # # .
# . . . #
`)
```
To transfer your code to the BBC micro:bit,
* connect your micro:bit to the computer using the USB cable
* click on **Compile**
* drag&drop the **.hex** file into the **MICROBIT** drive
* wait till the yellow light is done blinking!
### Repeat forever
Use the ``forever`` block to repeat your code and have a continuous animation.
Unsuffle the blocks to create a happy, unhappy animation.... or changes the image to make it your own!
```shuffle
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
# . . . #
. # # # .
`)
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
. # # # .
# . . . #
`)
});
```
### Your turn now!
Use the blocks ``show leds`` and ``forever``
to create your own custom awesome animation!
### Button A and B
Unshuffle the blocks so that the micro:bit shows "YES" when button A is pressed, and "NO" when B is pressed.
The key idea is that all the blocks nested under `on button ... pressed` will run when that button is pressed.
```blocks
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
basic.showString("AAAAA");
});
```
Try to unshuffle those blocks:
```shuffle
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
basic.showString("YES");
});
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
basic.showString("NO");
});
```
### Shake
Using the data from the **accelerometer**, it is possible to detect that the BBC micro:bit is being shaken.
Unshuffle the code to display a frownie when shaken.
```shuffle
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
. # # # .
# . . . #`);
});
```
### Tilting
Aside from shake, it is also possible to detect tilt left and right, logo up and down or face up and down.
Let's build a rock paper scissors game where you turn the micro:bit left to display paper, right to display scissors and down to display rock.
Unshuffle and try this code on the micro:bit itself!
```shuffle
input.onGesture(Gesture.TiltLeft, () => {
basic.showLeds(`
# # # # #
# . . . #
# . . . #
# . . . #
# # # # #`);
});
input.onGesture(Gesture.LogoDown, () => {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # # # .
. # # # .
. # # # .
. . . . .`);
});
input.onGesture(Gesture.TiltRight, () => {
basic.showLeds(`
# # . . #
# # . # .
. . # . .
# # . # .
# # . . #`);
});
```
### Pins
It is possible to use the pins (big metal bar at the bottom of the board) as button. Hold the ``GND`` button with one hand and press the ``0`` pin
(called ``P0``) with the other hand to trigger a pin pressed.
Unshuffle the blocks to display a smiley when pin ``P0`` is pressed.
```shuffle
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P0, () => {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
# . . . #
. # # # .`);
});
```
### Your turn now!
Use the screen, buttons, gestures, pins to create a fun game using the micro:bit.

# truth or dare tutorial
### ~avatar avatar
The *Truth or dare!* game works as follows: a player spins the BBC micro:bit on the table.
When the micro:bit stops spinning, the player pointed by the arrow (displayed on screen) must press the button "A"
to see if she has to provide a *truth* or a *dare*.
### ~
### Rebuild the game!
The blocks have been shuffled! Put them back together so that...
* an up arrow is displayed when the micro:bit is powered on.
* on button `A` is pressed,
* randomly display "TRUTH" or "DARE" on the screen
* show the up arrow again.
```shuffle
basic.showLeds(`
. . # . .
. # # # .
# # # # #
. . # . .
. . # . .
`)
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
let random = Math.random(2)
if (random == 0) {
basic.showString("TRUTH")
} else {
basic.showString("DARE")
}
basic.showLeds(`
. . # . .
. # # # .
# # # # #
. . # . .
. . # . .
`)
})
```

We'll modify the code to display the `x` acceleration if the `A` button is pressed. For that, we need to store `acceleration (x)` in a new variable `ax` and use a `button (A) is pressed` to detect if the button is pressed.
