[Watch this video](https://youtu.be/t_Qujjd_38o)). ![Pressing the A and B buttons](/calliope/tutorials/03_smiley_button_animation.gif) ## Step 1 @fullscreen Place a ``||input:on button pressed||`` block to run code when button **A** is pressed. ```blocks input.input.onButtonEvent(Button.A, DAL.MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK, () => { }); ``` ## Step 2 @fullscreen Place a ``||basic:show leds||`` block inside ``||input:on button pressed||`` to display a smiley on the screen. Press the **A** button in the simulator to see the smiley. ```blocks input.input.onButtonEvent(Button.A, DAL.MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK, () => { basic.showLeds(` # # . # # # # . # # . . . . . # . . . # . # # # .` ); }); ``` ## Step 3 @fullscreen Add ``||input:on button pressed||`` and ``||basic:show leds||`` blocks to display a frowny when button **B** is pressed. ```blocks input.input.onButtonEvent(Button.B, DAL.MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK, () => { basic.showLeds(` # # . # # # # . # # . . . . . . # # # . # . . . #` ); }); ``` ## Step 4 @fullscreen Add a secret mode that happens when **A** and **B** are pressed together. For this case, add multiple ``||basic:show leds||`` blocks to create an animation. ```blocks input.input.onButtonEvent(Button.AB, DAL.MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK, () => { basic.showLeds(` . . . . . # . # . . . . . . . # . . . # . # # # . `) basic.showLeds(` . . . . . . . # . # . . . . . # . . . # . # # # . `) }) ``` ## Step 5 If you have a @boardname@, connect it to USB and click ``|Download|`` to transfer your code. Press button **A** on your @boardname@. Try button **B** and then **A** and **B** together. ## Step 6 Nice! Now go and show it off to your friends!
